God would approve of using your time wisely.

I use a Etch a Sketch to practice on it certainly does the job and no way is it to scale. I probably need to try to find a new one it's loosing something after all these years.

I am a dry erase fan as well. May I suggest low odor markers (I almost asphyxiated myself on the first regular odor marker!) and don't put your elbow down. Teaching your arm muscle memory and not your wrist helped me alot. Also check out

www.theinboxjaunt.com for weekly FMQ motifs and prompts to try new things. Lori Kennedy is an awesome teacher! Lots of past tutorials to check out as well.

Bree123, love your idea about the laser pointer. No wasted paper or fabric! Will definitely be trying this.
