Day 4 of #chalkandcheesemas aka #chalkandcheesechallenge Driaght-pabyr (pronounced DRY-akh-un-PAAB-er) hits some strong nostaligia notes for us. One of my favourite memories of growing up regardless of the papercut tongues. Don't see them around so much these days. Maybe we'll make some out of the recycling bin today :) Christmas decorations were definitely at their peak in the 90s. ALL THE CEILING DECORATIONS Ah man, someone needs to bring back those spiral glitsy ones that you needed a special allen key to put up. #gaelg #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawcember #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2020 #christmasdrawingchallenge #christmas2020 #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #sisterschallenge #collage #papercut #christmas #christmasdecorations #90schristmas #christmastradition https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXj_ggh2gK/?igshid=114oyv9ffju57

I don't think I've ever experienced a white christmas - maybe this year? 🤞 2020 has some things to make up for after all... We're prepared just incase with a Sleyd (pronounced sled) in the attic from the charity shop bought in mid-June! Just waiting to be dusted off if needed. #chalkandcheesechallenge #gaelg #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofmanntt #drawcember #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2020 #christmasdrawingchallenge #christmas2020 #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #sisterschallenge #collage #papercut #whitechristmas #sled #sledge #snow #winter https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVKDFaINuM/?igshid=1bh052hb3aqel

This weekends #chalkandcheesechallenge is a little late because we took out tea towels out on the road to @hospiceiom Christmas market at the @villagaiety - what's left is live on @makers.im with more coming later in the week. Swipe to see @monsterfulillustrations brishtagyn. (Pronounced BRIZH-chag-un) I promise I'll do some tastier looking biscuits after Christmas. These are nice home made oaties. #gaelg #tootiredtohashtag (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMHJGvpYeZ/?igshid=5qvlgozf2fll

Todays word was selected by @homemade.bycoco - Bicycle Swipe to see @monsterfulillustrations Version We may be #chalkandcheesechallenge but as you can see sometimes somethings align - baskets on bikes. I was going to add those little jazzies on the spokes but I forgot! Bah! The #gaelg for this is pronounced dair-hweel, but it can also be 'roar' (pronouced rawr) about 35% of manx gaelic speakers I asked call it by this name, so i felt it important to include. By the way its meant to be a balance bike so that's why there's no gears/pedals. TIL they can also be called a #dandyhorse! #learnmanx #kids #children #firstbike #balancebike #drawingchallenge #sisters #illustration #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH47S-3DeZQ/?igshid=cf854s87ek5t

Day 31, A lot of you will be setting goals for the new year. I used to run before Evelyn joined our family. Maybe this year i'll pick it up again, when it warms up a bit... (Pronounciation RA-ee) That's it, That's Drawcember wrapped up. I'll be moving onto a new round of veganuary maybe, after a little rest.

We always get a bag of nuts for around christmas and this year was no exception. Worth the bruised hands and pinched fingers. #chalkandcheesechallenge #gaelg #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawcember #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2020 #christmasdrawingchallenge #christmas2020 #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut https://www.instagram.com/p/CJae2Bqsbvc/?igshid=l6sqzjzncask

Sorry Mr Wren your Majesty. Family took president yesterday, and I hear you were kind of busy anyway. Todays prompt was Christmas animals - The Wren may not be your go to, maybe reindeer or penguins come before. But in these parts this word might be familiar from 'Shelg y Drean' or Hunt the Wren which happens yesterday across the celtic lands. The smallest bird in these parts he was crowned the King for outsmarting an Eagle. I do love our folklore. So many layers to it, so much more to it than I realised #chalkandcheesechallenge #gaelg #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawcember #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2020 #christmasdrawingchallenge #christmas2020 #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #wren #huntthewren #witchhunt #kingofthebirds #britishbird (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJSv_FRAz_R/?igshid=q6cjaw7rwjvi

Some of you may recognise parts of this - i did it a while a go so i didn't have to 'work' today. Todays word is 'Family' in manx this is Lught thie (pronounced roughly lukh tie) - which in my understanding kind of means 'the contents of the home' I am probably butchering that. But i think it has a weirdly nice sentiment. Enjoy your day off today, and spend it with the people you chose to have around you. #chalkandcheesechallenge #gaelg #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawcember #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2020 #christmasdrawingchallenge #christmas2020 #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #boxingday #family #familyportrait (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJQLRtDHBDi/?igshid=1cx79kk4rvs45
