I hope all of you Canadians are having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and for everyone else you may commence the drooling of the thought of turkey coming soon! LOL. I love Thanksgiving because it is my hubby's and my Anniversary. I never forget my anniversary so it is the perfect date because my hubby never forgets either! Today we celebrate 17 years of blissful marriage!
This past week I went to Vancouver, British Columbia to celebrate my middle sister Tania's Graduation receiving her BA in Criminology! I am so proud of her! She has worked extremely hard for her degree as she worked full time and raised 5 kids while getting her BA. I think she is the strongest lady I have ever met! We had a wonderful time visiting and I was finally able to meet my Great Nephew Brock! He is such a cutie-pie! I thoroughly enjoyed making him giggle and ponder the idea of blowing kisses!
The above face was created on an 8x10 canvas using watercolor crayons and black markers. I started this face a few weeks ago and I usually finish right away but I did not get a chance to work on it. This gal I have named "whimsy". Everything seems to have the word 'whimsy' in it lately so I decided to play along.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Canadians, happy weekend to all others! Happy Creating and many blessings to all of you!

Ooooh, I had to click on this for the details--awesome!! And it sounds like a wonderful week that you had with your family!
Happy Thanksgiving and Anniversary, Kelly! What a great day to have been married, and a great reminder of when your anniversary is for DH.
Ms. Whimsy is beautiful! The shape of her nose and other facial features are awesome, and the placement of the highlights in her hair is very effective. I can only imagine the time it took to complete all the details ... but well worth the effort, as she's beautiful.
Wishing you a peaceful week ahead, filled with all the things you enjoy most. Cyber Hugs!
I love the third eye effect that occured in the painting.
and wow criminology... what a cool field
She is gorgeous Kelly! Love the colours and the patterns
Happy anniversary too.

Congratulations on your 17 years! That is quite the accomplishment! Whimsy is beautiful! I love the vibrant colors
Kelly,
That picture is one of you best, I believe. I think the graphics really work. Congratulations on seventeen years of marriage. Doesn't it just amaze you when you realize that you have spent all this time with one person? We just celebrated our thirty seventh in August and I still dearly love Jud. We have our moments but I would never trade being married.
Thank you, also, for stopping by the blog today. I really needed your support.
Hugs,
Suz
I know what you mean about the word "whimsy", it's everywhere, I even used it yesterday! :D
She is beautiful, I especially love her hair, so much detail to look at in the pattern!
*hugs*
