Project 30 - Day 23 - February 6, 2007 Blue Skies AGAIN!

Well, a lousy cold wasn't going to keep me from getting out in the first Blue Sky Day in a week! I had things I had to do at work, since 3/4 of my department is still working around the clock in the Emergency Operations Center. I knew today was going to be busy as contractors lined up for permits to start repairing the damage, and I would be needed. The governor even was here...but ALAS I didn't get to see him as I was upstairs in my office when he came to the EOC.

As I stepped out to a beautiful blue sky, I thought of you Dee when I saw the beautiful twigs of the tree behind us, against a wonderful blue sky...so I had to grab a shot!



This was my view out my window today...ahhh MUCH better than the dull gray skies I've been seeing. The birds were out along the shore as you can see in the bottom right corner...and the little white dots that look like they are in the lake are actually gulls flying.



Kids had appointments this afternoon. Here they are waiting...


...as treat when we were done, they got to take a roll or two down the sides of the retention pond. LOL thankfully it wasn't full of water after the rain we've had.

All hail to those who shoot twigs. Beautiful blue sky. It's about time!
The past few days have been dull and gray.
The kids look like they had fun rolling down the hill.
Are you feeling any better with your cold? It seems that it's being passed around the bloggers......

Tim Holtz -Tag Tags of 2013

March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of  2013  I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins.   It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out  and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. ...

Project 30 - Day 16 - January 30, 2007

This is Momma Cat. She adopted us a couple of years ago when she needed a home for her kitties. She's guarding a lizard that she'd been playing with and wasn't quite sure whether I was after it or not. We are having our two weeks of Winter these days with cold, gray skies and blustery wind. What a difference it makes down at the park... This is the same little willow that I posted about a week ago...only now it has been bitten by the cold and turned all brown and sad...

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? As always I'm running late posting my workdesk, but a busy day at work and then I had errands to run  which kept me away from my desk until late this evening. Once I finally had a chance to sit down I dug out my acrylics to work a bit more in my art journal.   My daughter brought me a snack of popcorn and I had to be careful not to eat my brushes or try and wash them out in the popcorn cup. If you look close on the right side you can see Momma Cat.   She thought I needed supervision and it was all I could do to keep her from walking through the wet paint! ...then when I wasn't paying close attention my other black cat, Sneakers, walked right through my little puddle of black paint.   Now THAT was fun trying to get it all off of his paws.   He wasn't too happy with me after that! and here's a little close-up of the journal page that I'm working on. Stamps are by Stamp Camp .   ...
