873_The Art of Balance

This toon was inspired by my own original pencil sketch done 2 years ago on ChummaDraw, which can be seen HERE.

As it happens, this year the folks at smsquotes.co.in have conveniently taken my original sketch and are making it available as a wallpaper HERE ( http://smsquotes.co.in/happy-ugadi-sms/) without my permission or giving credit to the creator.

Well, this certainly IS "a li'l sweet, a li'l sour, a li'l bitter". Happy Ugadi, y'all! :)

Dear CDs, With this posting I have to inform you all that I have not missed a single topic from the day I started CD. Actually I wanted to stop drawing for CD about a week back. But as good friend Dinesh told me that it will be there for just one more month I thot let me be regular till then. Honestly I enjoyed drawing for CD religiously!! I only wish the others had also contributed regularly...then CD would not have died the natural death that is facing it!

A Carnation instead of Toast?

On November 10 2011, Dinesh & Prabha started Chuma Draw. The first topic was dance. Today there are some 5275 posts by Chumma drawers on this blog! There were a lot of enthusiasts who would draw every day. It was great fun & a lot of learning. As the years went by, the number of enthusiasts declined, some new enthusiasts joined in, old ones moved on. On the 900th (days) post, we are closing down! We have 30 more posts! Happy Chumma Drawing!

Toast!


869_Toast

Today's topic is toast.

Embracing Imperfection By an unknown authour.

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!

Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember Watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got Up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad For burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!'

A carnation’s flower is said to symbolize the different array of emotions capable of being felt by women, and each different color represents a specific emotion.

Red carnations represent the feeling of admiration.Pink carnations are a symbol of true love, making pink carnations a very popular choice when Valentine’s Day comes around.The white carnation is a representation of purity and good fortune.Purple carnations symbolize a woman’s caprice.The blue carnation is a symbol of peace and tranquility, but blue carnations also are a representation of truth, making them a popular choice when couples select flower arrangements for weddings.
