Wednesday evening some friends we hadn't see in years took us to an early dinner at Red Lobster in Salem, Oregon. I brought my sketchbook along. I don't know how I could have been so forgetful, but I left my sketchbook in the booth where we were sitting--we left at 5 p.m., just before the evening rush.
By the time I realized I had left it behind, it was too late. When we called Red Lobster, no one had turned it in and my sketchbook was gone. My name wasn't in the book. I'm praying my "logo," BLN, which is included in each drawing, will give enough of a clue that the person who found my sketchbook will be able to find me.
This sketchbook is filled with notes on life and drawings of people I love--including a brave young lady, who has been very ill. I have also been working on a cartoon of my cat. I had scanned in every one of those drawings, except, somehow I missed the most important one--a drawing of the brave girl I wrote of at the beginning of this paragraph. How I missed scanning it in, I don't know. The finished piece was to be a gift.
If you are the person who picked up my sketchbook, perhaps you are trying to find me--please write to me at beth @ niquette. net. The reward for the return of my sketchbook is an original drawing to express my gratefulness. The art would be of anything you like.
I would be eternally and ever grateful to you--would likely hug you to bits should you return my sketchbook. I can't tell you how much this would mean to me.
My offer is a long shot, I know. Like a finding needle in a haystack. I don't know if I ever will hear from the person who took my sketchbook. If this person contacts me, it would be a miracle.
Toez in a Roze is one of the sketches in my sketchbook, as is the dear brave girl above. I'm praying for a miracle.

Oh no! I'm so sorry you lost your sketchbook. Why would somebody keep something so personal like that? Unless they really want your beautiful drawings for themselves. Was your name inside it? The drawing you posted here is really nicely done. I wish we could have seen the one that was lost.
Oh Beth I am so sorry I hope the person who found it is has the heart to find a way to get it back to you how devastating. I will say a prayer for it's return and hope for the best. Love you.
I am sorry to hear this! How your heart must grieve! I am praying for a miracle for you!
Wonderful drawings, I'm sorry your difficulties to comment on my page!
Un abrazo!
oh how sad
i certainly hope your book is returned to you
so odd that someone would take it and not turn it in.
have you called back to see if someone brought it them?
xo
also, it is my feeling that your drawings out in the world can only be a blessing!
