For a change of pace, I finished my boot sketch! Ree Drummond,
The Pioneer Woman, has an annual
boot giveaway just before Christmas. I drool over those beautiful boots as I enter the contest each day and I love sketching them. As you can see here....
During our weekly Skype call this morning with my sisters, I told them that I have to go to the gym and plug into the TV on the treadmill to watch
Ree's cooking show on the Food Network because we don't have cable. It somehow seems counterproductive to watch her cook fabulous meals while putting in my 3 miles. By the time I finish walking and her show goes off, I am hungry enough to eat a boot!!
As an added note, some friends egged me on to send this sketch to Ree. So, after enough encouragement, I did! I really didn't expect to hear from her, or if I did, it wouldn't be any time soon. This is no reflection on Ree, just the fact that she is a busy woman who must receive mountains of messages and email each week. So you can imagine how surprised and delighted I was to receive a response in less than an hour!! She said, "Wow!! That's great, Dawn!!". Isn't that the coolest thing?
