42 days ago I started this process of drawing one everyday object, every day of the year. I wanted to draw but knew that I needed to improve and I wanted to show my kids that with practice we can all get better. I’ve always wanted to do the Trader Joe’s paper bag because I go there weekly and they are everywhere around the house. Finally sat down last night to do it and my kids said “wow, this practice is paying off.” YES! That’s the message! Daily practice does pay off! And then I felt like it was all worth it. Thank you Trader Joe’s bag for not only holding my groceries or schlepping things to school or being the container for porch drop offs or hauling donations to Goodwill…. thank you for teaching my kids that daily practice actually does make us better.
