When you least expect it
About 3 years ago, I was driving my daughter to school when she started singing a made up song. She does that every now and then, it's one of the things I love most about her. I recall her saying this cute little name she made up: Swirly Pearly. I immediately wrote it down because I knew it was one of those things I didn't want to let go.
Yesterday while I was working like crazy with a looming deadline I decided I needed a little break. So I grabbed a piece of scrap paper, doodled and this little girl appeared on my page.
It took me about 3 seconds to realize it was her, Swirly Pearly!
I am pretty sure she will be appearing a lot in my sketchbooks from now on and hopefully will have her own stories to tell someday. :o)
