Settled in the Maritimes of Canada, surrounded by the forest and Acadian Mountain Chain, I live a simple life of gratitude. This blog is a journal of my art, food, furkids, garden, home, my life and my thoughts. Thanks for reading!
Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today's theme is Cupcakes. I'm sorry but Bugs Bunny and I are absent this week...I can't believe what's going on in my life...I had zero time to do any art this week. My time has been spent caretaking my pets and trying to deal with my depression and going to therapy.
This is Leo. He stopped eating a few days ago and then we noticed his skin was yellow. Jaundice...as this post is being published, we are again at the vet. Please wish all of us well! When will it end????
I'll just add the link widget below, please enjoy each other's art creations. Love to all of you!! ♥
Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is Candies. I recently saw some Pez dispensers at a local candy store and decided to look up to see if there were ever any Looney Tunes Pez dispensers...sure enough, every Looney Tune was "pezzed"! I was never a fan of this candy myself.
My favourite candy when I was a kid was Bottle Caps. The best one of the pack was the root beer flavour! What was your favourite candy as a kid, or even now?
These days I mostly enjoy chocolate for my candy fix...but I am also a very big fan of anything jelly! I have a nice memory of my grandparents offering me jelly fruit slices on Sunday afternoons when I'd visit them. 😊
I'm very happy to say that Jack's surgery went well! The poor baby had sixteen of his teeth removed. At first when they told me that I was shocked, but after learning that dogs usually have 42 teeth, it didn't seem all that bad. The surgeon also removed the eye tag that had been irritating his left eye. He's on pain meds and antibiotics and he's resting. I'm feeding him baby food and he's getting all the water he wants. I am NOT leaving his side. I'm sure he'll be back to his normal spunky self very soon! Gratitude. 💗
This week's highlighted artist is my friend Christine! 💗 Her blog showcases her minimalist art, food and recipes and much more! This is a photo of one of her lovely florals.

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is Cookies. I LOVE cookies, I don't know that I have a favourite! Tweety Bird always has a nice snack of chocolate chip cookies with Strawberry Quik milk before bed. When all of the other kids were guzzling down chocolate milk, I was always asking for Strawberry Quik!! Now though, I normally have chamomile tea and some passionflower tincture to help me relax enough to sleep through the night. I also listen to a You Tube channel with falling rain to lull me to sleep. What's your bedtime routine?
I'm being tested again...at least it feels that way! My sweetie pie Jack is having recurring tooth infections and needs dental surgery. We went to the vet on Tuesday for his pre-surgery blood work. The tests are all okay so he qualifies for anesthesia. His surgery is May 19th and I'm so darn nervous...I'm trying to remain positive but this added stress is very challenging for me!
Even though I've kind of lost interest in a lot of things lately, my therapist insisted I do at least a few drawings/paintings each week...of whatever comes to mind. I'd been watching a lot of The Andy Griffith Show lately and decided to do a charcoal of Andy and Don Knotts. It's such a great show, so funny...and interesting that Andy mostly plays the straight man - as he's quite a funny standup comic!
Here's a bit of his standup comedy from the 1960's, talking about The Discovery of America. It's really funny.
This week's highlighted artist is Elke from Elke's Lebensglueck blog. I think the German word lebensglueck translates into either happiness in life, or joy in life...but no matter the translation, whenever I visit Elke's blog, I come away with a smile on my face and joy in my heart! This is Elke's creation for last week's "Cakes" theme! Thank you so much Elke for your consistent participation in the art date and for your sweet and supportive comments every week! 💗

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is Cakes. Bugs is really channeling his inner pin-up gal as he pops out this giant cake! I hope you're all doing well. Things are chugging along here slowly but everything is moving in the right direction! I can't say I'm feeling great, but the weekly therapy is doing wonders for my spirit and emotional health! It's a long process. Thanks for all of your well wishes!! 💗
This week's highlighted artist is Gillena from Lunch Break blog. Gillena's Betty Boop art is just fabulous, as is her haiku!
