Suffer the Little Children

The Doodle (above right) is a photo-shop-color-play-in-progress, born from the original Doodle(above left). Original Doodle was done for my "Sunbeams". Sunbeams are small children.
(Teaching "Sunbeams" was the first church calling I was given upon moving back to my 'Hometown' - Sunday school teacher for the 4-5-6 year olds. I let the kids kick their shoes off in my class. I wasn't with my sunbeams long, before I was called to teach Gospel Doctrine to their parents, the adults. I NEVER let grown ups kick their shoes off in class! LOL!)
The little bit of artwork was done in 2002 & took less than 2 minutes to do! This held the children's attention, captive, for approximately 2.5 minutes (maybe 3! lol!) including 'draw time'.

I re-found this, in a small, 3x5" notebook which I sometimes carry in my purse. I like it. (Both the pix and the notebook!)
The notebook usually has "to do lists" in it, price quotes or comparisons, Ideas to make me a millionaire that look like they'd take about a million dollars to do:- (Windfarm, RV Park, Xeroscaping company, a Virgin bar - I mentioned this 'Virgin Bar Idea' to someone one time and they stared blankly at me, for a moment, and said, "But who would you get to go to it?" I carefully explained that it would be a bar that served non-alcoholic drinks and anybody could go to it, families even, that one wouldn't necessarily have to be a virgin to be served there. :-), Ahem, I see measurements for home improvement projects, Inspirational quotes I fall in love with, 'how to get there' directions to important places I've never been before and need to travel to, address & phone updates to people I've lost track of and run into again. Phone numbers with nothing else written so I've NO IDEA what they're for, There's a love poem in there that came to my mind one day out of the blue - about a wonderful love that I did not have at the time! (Yes. Artist are weird about such things) ... Got a list of tools to get, to make-up a kickin' Pumpkin Carving Kit- I keep thinking I'll sew a canvas roll-up, to keep it all neat, organized and tied together. (Damn you, Martha Stewart! <-Sorry. She DID plant the big idea in my head.) I see notes on Sunday meetings past, a lovely design I imagined and drew up for a TV/entertainment center, a design sketch for a delicious decorated cake I really DID make, and there's thoughts on prayer lists and people to put on them - dating back 2-3 years. I got a new thought for a child to put on my prayer list this week. The name is 'Rebekah' <-Click this little name to see a part of her story - and maybe send her out some of your sunbeam love if you're willing.
Hope I didn't bore you too bad with the contents from my FAT LIL' NOTEBOOK - because there'll be more to come! (insert innocent, childish laughter, here -X!)
Love to all who pass along this way!
