dolla dolla billz, y’all

Thing-a-day #27 (belated by about 12 hours)…

- I did yoga. That’s always fun and sort of feels creative, even though you’re just doing what the instructor says. But, hey, doesn’t that fall under “Follow instructions”? ;)

- The other day, when my husband got the car I mentioned in previous post, we had to get the check for the loan cashed. So of course, we ran to the house to shoot some rap video stills.

Day 18 - Saving Money

I’m sorry Thing-a-day. I am finding it harder to keep up with you lately. But at least I’m sticking with it.

I wasn’t able to do what I said I would today.

I did however spend 5 hours this evening picking up, carrying and returning a sofa bed I had bought for staging purposes to sell my house (it was day 30 of the return policy) and made/saved $180 back. That’s creative, no?

Wow, only 10 days left. For Day 19, the sketch book sketches I promised.

Day 6 - Sketching

Okay, so back to one of the reasons I started this thing-a-day project, doing some sketching.  One is inspired by the work of Keri Smith and my newfound love of all sorts of maps.  The second is Andrew Jackson’s portrait, taken from a $20 bill, which struck me because of his feminine attributes - the hair, the pursed lips, the articulated eyes.  Both are in my little Kolo sketchbook in pencil.
