I was whining to discussing with my daughters the fact that I didn't have a great word for H. Thirty minutes later this picture turned up in my email in-box. I love the school Easter holiday :-)
I mentioned your comment to Diva and she was all 'they should give me book titles and I'll draw pictures for them'. Hmm ... I might have found my cover designer :-)
Fun picture. Harlequins are the only form of 'clowns' that don't typically freak me right the hell out. We have a childrens act at faire that is a set of harlequin style clowns with dogs and parrots, and they mostly don't scare me, but sometimes I just can't be near them.
Ha, no doubt Sarah. Looks like you have some wonderful and talented assistants there. Our young daughter showed me how many pages in a practice writing book that she had done today being out of school. I was proud of her effort.
hi saraha, this is really nice small is always beautiful! and you did it very well with the word 'Harlequin" for the day. i did a small search to know the meaning too :-) eureka! eureka! pl. add a word i mean the meaning of it to it for people lik me..lol everything is small here today lol keep writing thanks for dropping in too...:-) best phil
Fantastic H word. It's kind of a happy sounding word, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is. You just can't help smiling :-)
DeleteHey, that worked out well!
ReplyDeleteIt did indeed!
Deletethat's so sweet! you should have a fab giveaway with this pic as the prize :)

DeleteThat is a sweet gift. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty friendly, isn't it? :-)
DeleteCool pic!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteHarlequin is a great word lol :D
ReplyDeleteI know! You can't say it without smiling :-)
DeleteHA! Love it! Fun choice. Sometimes I have a million ideas and other times I've got nothing!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! What I hate is when I have an awesome idea, and we've already done the letter :-)
DeleteSaved by email!
ReplyDeleteI knew her having a PC was a good idea :-)
DeleteThat is a great word for H, honest! Well done
ReplyDeleteI'll tell her you said so - and I love the H word you added there :-)
DeleteGreat word. I'm glad it came to you. I outlined my posts, yet sometimes on the day of I struggle writing my post.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time that I hated absolutely everything I came up with. I suspect it won't be the last :-)
DeleteNice pic. Is it drawn by one of your daughters?
ReplyDeleteIt is. She just went upstairs, drew it and then sent it to me :-)
DeleteAnd handstand :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Easter!
I asked her if the handstand was deliberate for the letter and she grinned and said 'let's just say it was' :-)
DeleteWhat a fabulous artist you have!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where she gets it from!
DeleteHow nice of your daughter. How cute too.
ReplyDeleteAye, she's a keeper ;-)
DeleteThat's a great picture. And that surely has to be one of the most original "H" posts?!
ReplyDeleteThanks. And I can't take any of the credit :-)
DeleteAwesome! How cool of your daughter!
ReplyDeleteI love the way she thinks :-)
DeleteI'm so slow ... I didn't get it. I even turned my head sideways to see if it formed an H ... kinda???
ReplyDeleteBut luckily, you have smart commenters. So, they've explained it to me: a happy harlequin holding a handstand
hahaha
Margo, I love this comment. You are a woman after my own heart :-)
DeleteI can do that. I mean draw a Harlequin. No way could I physically do that.
ReplyDeleteI dare you to try :-)
DeleteSarah - You have an amazing daughter. Considering her mother, though, I'm not surprised. This is a great choice for H.
ReplyDeleteShe is pretty awesome, isn't she? And thank you for the compliment :-)
DeleteThat is a brilliant H word!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteThat's a great drawing! And I love the H word--it's more on the unusual side. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, and I can't take any of the credit :-)
DeleteI'm sure no one else will have your H. Made my day!
ReplyDeleteDenise
She certainly saved my bacon, that's for sure :-)
DeleteAwesome, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm rather proud of her :-)
DeleteAwesome H word! :D
ReplyDeleteI love it :-)
DeleteThat's a great word, and a great picture!

It's such a happy picture isn't it?
DeleteFun picture. Harlequins are the only form of 'clowns' that don't typically freak me right the hell out. We have a childrens act at faire that is a set of harlequin style clowns with dogs and parrots, and they mostly don't scare me, but sometimes I just can't be near them.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that big feet and red noses weren't a staple of the period. It's weird how clowns ban be so scary.
DeleteA word I wouldn't have thought of.
ReplyDeleteGreat H word.
Yvonne.
Me neither. Thankfully, she's more on the ball than me :-)
DeleteHahaaaa well done! Yippee for obscure emails
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I love my girlies :-)
DeleteYes! The best ideas tend to be the random ones.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true!
DeleteI got handstand before Harlequin, then I realized! Great word and great post!
ReplyDeleteHehe, and the handstand bit was an accident :-)
DeleteAh haha. Perfect. And during the A to Z everyone appreciates a quick picture post!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm trying to keep them short and fun :-)
DeleteSomebody was watching out for you! What would you have done if it was picture for a hair re-growth product? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, knowing my girl, there would have been a joke in there somewhere. (Like a 'hare' re-growth product!)
Deletetoo cute! very awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you :-)
DeleteThis is neat. I bet my grand kids ( or even my kids ) will love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope they liked it :-)
DeleteWriting is like that - ideas fall on you when you stop looking. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed! - Or when you whine to your kids :-)
DeleteIf your kid drew this, I want to hire her to illustrate a book for my kids (unless she's already priced herself out of my market)! :)
ReplyDeleteI told her and her answer was 'will work for cookies' :-)
DeleteI love when things happen right when you need them to!
ReplyDeleteMe too - and I didn't even need to bribe her :-)
DeleteHa, no doubt Sarah. Looks like you have some wonderful and talented assistants there. Our young daughter showed me how many pages in a practice writing book that she had done today being out of school. I was proud of her effort.
ReplyDeleteI love this comment. Isn't it nice when they do stuff like that because they want to, and not because we've nagged them?
DeleteChildren do seem to help us out don't they?

Oh yes, I can't deny that :-)
Deletewow, what a talented artist! And it is perfect for "H"!
ReplyDeleteAnd this was just one of her 'quick doodles' as she puts it :-)
DeleteWhat a fun picture. How wonderful is it that your daughters could help you out!
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I don't know what I'd do without them :-)
DeleteGreat picture!! Your H turned out well!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jenn

Thank you :-)
DeleteNice! Harlequin is such a great word.
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? Such a happy word.
DeleteFab! Your daughter is awesome. =D
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks. I totally agree :-)
DeletePerfect example for H! And what a great drawing you found! I've always wished I could color with colored pencils like that :)
ReplyDeleteIt's unusual for her to use pencils these days, she usually paints but I think she just wanted to do it quickly for me :-)
Deletehi saraha,
ReplyDeletethis is really nice
small is always beautiful!
and you did it very well with the word 'Harlequin" for the day. i did a small search to know the meaning too :-) eureka! eureka!
pl. add a word i mean the meaning of it to it for people lik me..lol
everything is small here today lol
keep writing
thanks for dropping in too...:-)
best

Hi Phil,
Deletethat's a great point. If I do another unusual word, I'll add an explanation. Thanks for the tip!
Your daughter is a very talented artist. (And sweet, too, to bail her mama out like that!)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, on both counts! Thank you :-)
DeleteLove it! What a fun drawing. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily. I might steal the hard copy from her :-)
DeleteHow fun! Your daughter is very talented, and this is so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) She rescued me today, that's for sure :-)
DeleteIt must be a sign . . .
ReplyDeletePopping by on the A to Z trail. Hope all is well with you.
Lucy
Good to see you. I'm loving the stuff I'm learning on your A to Z theme :-)
DeleteSWEET! And I thought you meant the publishing house-(romance anyone, ha)!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I'd forgotten all about that :-)
DeleteI thought you meant the romance publisher, too. lol Learning something new every day!
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't think about romance enough :-)
DeleteA very fun pic :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteNiiiice :) There *are* pluses to spring break! LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the girlies are good for more than just cups of tea ;-)
DeleteHi Sarah ... gosh I need some kids - any spares anyone? Only wanted for the month of April - they'll be redundant for the next eleven months!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that wonderful - love the picture too - Harlequin - they are great characters .. clever children .. A* to them ..
Made me happy too - cheers Hilary
Hehe, well I'd lend you one of mine, but only one of them draws :-)
DeleteLove the pic! I always associate Harlequin with romance but can't forget this either - cool pic :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot about the romance house :-)
DeleteI love how happy it looks :) I can't help but think it's a happy version of Harley Quinn from Batman :)

Funnily enough, she said she was going to draw Harley, but she didn't think many people would know her :-)
