Flame Hunt 615 Sketch and OYOU

I sketched the flame in the electric fireplace for Scavenger Hunt 615.

Is that a real flame?  It looks real and I sketched it from life so to me it is real.

Number 9 flame - the electric fireplace flame.  Various pens and some inktense pencils, at home, freehand.

Gene and I were watching a Hallmark Christmas movie after a snack.  We need to move about so we are going to the store and get a burger later.  He is working on the front steps as I speak.  The original steps were made from untreated lumber and were rotting away.  A good project for Gene who likes to stay busy.  I'm surprised he watched the movie with me.  He either goes to sleep or goes to work!

The "real" flame in the fireplace.

This cup makes me smile.  It was in my Christmas stocking (thanks to Joanna because she wants a surprise for me since I know what is in all the stockings.).  It looks like an old fashioned tin cup but is ceramic.  Nice.

OYOU is a great organization that we picked for our charity this year.  We draw names and give the bulk of our gift money to an adopted family and OYOU was our family for this year.  Interesting that Joanna had already bought the cup before we decided.  Terri Hendrix, singer songwriter, started the charity.  It is for kids of all ages in the arts.
