Magic Marker Monday — Lotsa Spots!
"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
~Pablo Picasso
Welcome to Magic Marker Monday! If you haven't heard about Magic Marker Monday yet, click here and then hurry right back…
This week, I was surprised with an adorable doodle of a Jacqui and Kyle, a large yellow heart (which for some unkown reason has a face) and the dalmatian puppy that she claims she is going to get for Christmas.
Ummmm … yeah …
Last year it was the "Fur Real" life-sized pony on the Christmas list. Looks like this year's wish list is going to take it to a whole new level. She's already named the prospective puppy "Dardu" (I have no idea where she came up with that one) and says the puppy can sleep in her room under her Disney Princess vanity. Think she'll settle for a DVD of 101 of the spotted little critters instead?
What about you? What has your little artist been up to lately?

Love, love the hot pink lips and cheeks, the lush and lengthy eyelashes, the always present princess crown…the countless spots on that puppy! Oh, and the way she towers powerfully over Kyle.
Uh, ain't no way Jacqui's settling. Nope.

Our doodles are a little less artistic, but we gain full marks for 'effort' I hope.
cheers

That's too funny about the Dalmatian. I had a Dalmatian growing up. Loved her, but I wouldn't recommend that breed of dog.

I love how she has a princess crown in all her drawings, that is so cute! And I love Kyle's hair! Great drawing… good luck talking her out of the dalmation puppy :).

Uh-oh! Your in for a battle on that one. I can already feel it! Somehow I don't think she is going to give up so easily. What a great Jacqui creation. And so sweet to include Kyle.

That is a great picture! I think it is so sweet that she already named "her" puppy, LOL!!! It makes it hard to say no.

I just LOVE her artwork! So expressive! I look forward each week to seeing what she has come up with for you to show off!
Well done!

She's so adorable!
Maybe you can talk her into one of those life size stuffed puppies that were mentioned on 5MFM not too long ago…they have Dalmations. Good luck with that.

Dardu is a perfectly wonderful name for your new puppy..lol I'm only saying that because we caved and got a puppy and I don't want to be the only person with a crazy pup.
The picture is awesome, Love the hot pink lips and yellow heart.

Hmm, I'm sensing a princess theme…
Sorry not to post any artwork today; have been working feverishly on my new site for Another Piece of the Puzzle
