Get Caught Reading Month

I'm behind on my reading, though I am caught up on birthday cards (because I crafted instead of read my library books) but I'm getting ready to start Tsarina. I love a good historical fiction, so hoping this is a good one.

I keep doodling quotes for fun while watching tv and this is the latest one that I also colored. I went for a fun ombre look for the house. It's one of my favorite quotes even though it's everywhere now, and it's book-related too. 

And though it's got nothing to do with getting caught reading, I wanted to share a link to some freebie digi stamps from 2 Cute Ink Stamps and Papercraft Magazines on Facebook. I got mine and they are cute! I already had a couple from joining the group, but since I always post my coloring with them, thought you might want your own to color.

Happy Wednesday!

Doodling The Night Away

So, last night we were catching up on some tv, Elementary is one of my faves, and I had a pad of paper and a pen and everyone knows that means I doodled the whole time.

Here's what I came up with, among other stuff. I found this quote by Richard Burton, who is apparently not the actor associated with Liz Taylor, but some dude who lived in the 1800s. But that's ok, I love the quote!

I'd already drawn the cocoa and just had to color and trim it out. I couldn't resist making the marshmallows have faces, but that's kind of sad, because presumably they'll be melting. Oh well, they look like they're having fun! 

I based this on Nancy Drew who always seems to rely on cocoa and cinnamon toast for a tasty snack...and she's not wrong, it is tasty. Here's the original cover of one of her cinnamon toasts snacks from the 30s and the one I read from the 60s.

Happy Monday,
