I have a budding artist
whose favorite canvas is beige carpet and whose medium of choice is a dark blue sharpie marker. If I hadn't been so mad I probably would have taken a picture of it. The artist denied any involvement in the "art" but unfortunately for the artist, the drawing was his name and a stick person. This story has a happy ending. Did you know that you can remove sharpie marker with rubbing alcohol? It took half a bottle, some time, and some elbow grease but the carpet is back to it's original state. So, hopefully this artist had learned his lesson. But I needed to learn a lesson too. People are more important than things. And houses with 4 kids living in them will never be perfect.

Oh Josh, you little stinker! I'm glad you got it out - that's a good cleaning tip to remember!
It is so hard to remember to be calm in those situations. I am glad you were able to get it out of the carpet. I will have to remember that tip.
I'm sure if it was my carpet, I would not have been in the mood to stop and take a picture... but as an Aunt... I wish I could have seen his masterpiece! I'm soooo glad that you were able to get that out and that cleaning tip will definitely go in my bank of things to remember!
I know what you mean, sometimes Broc colors on the floor and I get so mad, but he just looks at me , like , "But mom its a pretty picture" Thats good to know about the rubbing alcohol.
