My Son's Snack Notes

My first note

A month or so ago I decided to add a little reminder in my son's a snack which I send to school with him. I wanted him to be pleasantly surprised and feel his mama's love every time he opens his lunch box. This idea came at a time when Jad was experiencing a tough time at school and needed some support and love to follow him from home. Other than the characters, I include some funny or inspirational quotes from his animated movies that he can read. I wanted him to remember, every time he saw the notes, that he is always loved the way he is and that all he needed to do was to try his best.

Rango from Rango

He loves the notes and is always excited to find out what character was on them the next day. When I have so much on my plate and am unable to draw one for him, he asks if he will get one the next morning.

Po from Kongfu Panda

I have to admit that not only do these notes put a smile on Jad's face but they are also improving my drawing skills. I research on Google images, which is why I am addicted to that site and cannot imagine a life without it, and then begin sketching. I still have to sketch the lines in pencil first as it is easier to erase many of the unruly lines. The best part is the coloring because it makes the drawing all that much nicer to look at.

Miguel from El Dorado

Puss In Boots
