the cute things I find stashed in my desk

Emmm, Billie, that bottom one of the sitting equine has a strong resemble to TJ in his Chief Sitting Mule pose...Gave me quite a start.

They're adorable, your daughter is quite a gifted artist at such a young age. If it were my daughter who left me something as wonderful as that I'd frame them.

I've been waiting for said daughter (who is also a talented artist)to do an oil painting of my horse Erik for years now. But so far she hasn't had the time. I'm hoping one day to be surprised one day!

jme, glad you got a smile - I did too and hoped it would spread... :)

sheaffer! the sitting donkey made me think of TJ too. I was glad to read on your blog that TJ is making progress with people - the ringing of the bell along with a treat seems like just the thing for him.

grey horse, there are things framed on walls of nearly every room in the house - I learned when she was... maybe 2? ... that I would have to learn to appreciate and revel and then let go. The sheer number of these sketches would take a small museum to house.

I try to squirrel away the ones I love best, b/c she will draw right over them or ball them up to use for cat toys!
