"Hello Inkers!

Hope you’ve had a beautifully art-full week wherever you are. Over here in Virginia, USA, we’re prepping for a storm. I’ve overheard snippets of conversations over the last day or two but it wasn’t until I heard the school receptionist reference “the blizzard of 1996” in a comment to her coworker (that I was totally eavesdropping on,) that I started to get that oh-dear feeling. Apparently, there’s a gully-whopper headed our way and since our county doesn’t plow the roads, this place is about to come to a standstill for a week or more. Being an emergency-preparedness junkie, I’m like a giant squirrel, making sure our nest is ready and full of snacks. My teenagers, who are anticipating a those snow-days off school, are preparing very differently. While I’m making sure the cars have gas, and the gutters are cleaned, they’ve got a full list of movies and piles of craft supplies on stand-by.

Even though I don’t love the face-stinging temperatures we’re headed for, I have to say I’m fully stoked for a few days filled with soup and sweatpants and fireplace smore’s and of course lots and lots of drawing (them, not me) in our cozy home. I hope it stays cozy for all of us. I hope the medical professionals and firefighters and linemen and all those other helpful souls stay safe and can find moments of cozy while they keep us all going. So, show us what cozy looks like to you. It might be a Lord of the Rings movie marathon in your Cookie Monster onsie or maybe you’ll be sipping cocoa while happily creating a masterpiece to gift to a friend. Whatever it means to you, I can’t wait to see what you do!

Happy drawing-
Alison

P.s. Because I’m a mom and I have a PhD in worrying, here’s a few ideas if you too are in the path of the storm:
-fill your car’s gas tank now
-don’t forget to check on your neighbors
-stock-up on essential medications, ready-to eat food, flashlights, water, firewood, and of course paper and ink!"
