It is November 1st,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that means all the challenges I blogged about have begun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Here's the blog post I made: <a href="http://littlebearries.blogspot.com/2013/10/joining-in-on-fun-in-month-of-november.html">http://littlebearries.blogspot.com/2013/10/joining-in-on-fun-in-month-of-november.html </a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to say, I haven't failed on Day 1, lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote my 2,000 words for the day, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a sketch,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I thought up a Picture Book idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not going to bore you with the 2,000 words,<br />
but I'm writing 2,000 words in a new story every day (a twist on conventional <b>NaNoWriMo</b>)<br />
So here is the first line from my first story:<br />

This sketch is called: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please tell me I'm not the only ginger with invisible eyebrows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL. It's something I think about too often.</div>

(yes, these are my cats)</div>

I'm sure I have "Awesome cat syndrome"... which is something all cat owners probably have,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I think these two are comical and interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a few little sketches to go along with the idea.</div>

Will is black, Crumb is big and fluffy... the picture of him crying is</div>

how he looks after we give him the Lion Cut. MWA HA!</div>

So,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have *never* been able to knit or crochet well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(as in, I can make a scarf, the end)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always been something I've wanted to learn, though... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I'm puttin' the ol' nose to the grindstone and trying to figure it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far... I have some tools of the trade,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm going to see about getting some lessons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbnz8ZvMGlw_hh6SyPef0YVORFSHb1uv1JxQpV4k0JrCzgZBlg8uo-iA0FXzomfWWelsp6D5uH-pfggegz_tly-vJ5ZW8ncdZZpmPgfKdmRLT9pMqUlwkKG3ldW4Szdm-gQxB_0Ve82hg/s1600/yarn4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbnz8ZvMGlw_hh6SyPef0YVORFSHb1uv1JxQpV4k0JrCzgZBlg8uo-iA0FXzomfWWelsp6D5uH-pfggegz_tly-vJ5ZW8ncdZZpmPgfKdmRLT9pMqUlwkKG3ldW4Szdm-gQxB_0Ve82hg/s1600/yarn4.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These crochet hooks make me think of dental picks...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05ArOhp6RmWSCp8ACv29H8XDIxsby0M1cb0mIOcMLjfPNnIQTXZCaqnbra1JeqP-CMvmSLUJFyCx6K8xPwA9qSU_eK8uZtq7ZPhQK7SuUxW3aGjfaoT3uZ5joIGnvHdHA4VAP8NLkMw8/s1600/yarn2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05ArOhp6RmWSCp8ACv29H8XDIxsby0M1cb0mIOcMLjfPNnIQTXZCaqnbra1JeqP-CMvmSLUJFyCx6K8xPwA9qSU_eK8uZtq7ZPhQK7SuUxW3aGjfaoT3uZ5joIGnvHdHA4VAP8NLkMw8/s1600/yarn2.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which makes sense, because right now, trying to knit or crochet is as torturous as a trip to the dentist.</div>

I'm sure you've all heard of NaNoWriMo...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and no pre-made themes. Just doodle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also follow Sketched Out's blog to see what she doodles every day!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every day your task is to come up with a new picture book idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't have to be a full story... it can just be a title, or character name,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or anything simple that could *BE* a story someday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every day on Tara's blog, there will also be an awesome guest post by someone</div>

I love <a href="http://design-seeds.com/">Design Seeds</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyday they come out with a new color palette...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing from the color palettes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during the week.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The palette I used today is Cold Stare: </div>

I found this quote and wanted to save it in some way,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I figured it would be a good candidate for the color palette illustration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Where the other was all computer generated,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided this week to try a sketch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wanting to work on my drawing skills for a while, <br />so a daily sketch might not be too bad an idea.</div>

Good Morning, everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been following these kitties for quite a while:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIBf7tqk3jqPI6AQHd8BtVdETqj6cUX8p_dDZkHgvcmBIna-VU19Yf9nD80atoDEsZWDIoB-_luTLO6AJav5AmskOd8X1mozUypIVtlMpyzghe7jwUovP2RunJWxZa9aN1ylWQ32S9DOI/s1600/ginkoyoshi_logo-platform3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIBf7tqk3jqPI6AQHd8BtVdETqj6cUX8p_dDZkHgvcmBIna-VU19Yf9nD80atoDEsZWDIoB-_luTLO6AJav5AmskOd8X1mozUypIVtlMpyzghe7jwUovP2RunJWxZa9aN1ylWQ32S9DOI/s640/ginkoyoshi_logo-platform3.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And recently, poor Ginko has developed seizures and needs rather pricey medicine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to help keep them at bay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having had a dog with severe seizures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is a matter close to my heart...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nevermind that I LOVE reading about these kitties on the internet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have their own website <a href="http://ginkoyoshi.com/"><b>HERE</b></a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also nevermind that their owner, Chun (aka Puppy52)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is one of the sweetest folks you'll ever come across.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAYS, to help gain some funds for Ginko's pricey meds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chun has created this <a href="http://puppy52art.com/gallery/yoshi-on-zazzle/#more-2923">lovely illustration of Yoshi</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that you can buy through Zazzle on things like shirts and bags.<br />
<br />
<b>BUY BAG HERE:</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also opt for the "Photo-quality Yoshi"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL... aka, a photo of him...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A brother has to do his part to help his sister out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I opted for the illustration...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I believe in the cause</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(100% of the proceeds go to Ginko's meds)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but also because... look at it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a lovely illustration!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can have a kick ass, cute as heck bag</div>

I love <a href="http://design-seeds.com/">Design Seeds</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyday they come out with a new color palette...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing from the color palettes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Waaaay back in 2009 I went to an event called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ghoultide Gathering...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I had a TERRIBLE time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The venue was too small,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the ladies who were there to buy stuff were rude as HECK.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pushing, pulling, jabbing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
both my Mom and I got pushed (literally) out of the way</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on several occasions, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and had things actually snatched from our hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was shocking... and awful...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I wrote to the folks who organized it and told them our experience,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and said we wouldn't be returning unless they,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the very least,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got a bigger venue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well... at some point they did...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I still wasn't ready to go back...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until this year!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say, the 2013 Ghoultide Gathering</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was a COMPLETELY different experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was AWESOME. :)</div>

His stuff was amazing, and almost completely sold out just 15 minutes after the show opened.</div>

I had taken my little Neemo, Samantha,</div>

with me, and she had a blast!</div>
