The Sky is Falling!!

What a way to end a day...

My oldest daughter has braces and can't eat anything crunchy
so I thought I'd be nice and go to the grocery store and get her some ice cream.
WELL...I am less than a mile from the house and
a tree limb decides to fall off a tree onto my van just as I am going under it.
It's been raining for the last few days and I guess the old limb just
couldn't hold the weight of the wet moss anymore.
I could only swerve just so much as there was someone in the other lane,
and I sure didn't want a head on!!
See the nice dent and hole it left me!
I am NOT a Happy Camper!! :-(




Then I'm at the grocery store and I open the door of the stand up freezer to get the ice cream
 and THE half gallon I wanted was in such a hurry to come with me that it
THREW itself out of the freezer, hitting me hard on my shin bone!
I hadn't even TOUCHED it yet. I'll have a nice bruise there for sure!
So I carefully made my way back home, put the stuff away
and sat at my desk reading artsy blogs for the rest of the night.I figured I was pretty safe doing that unless I started heating up Melting Pots or Heat Guns.
Instead I indulged in a bowl of ice cream!

Oh boy have you been having an eventful time! Some gentle crafting may settle your nerves and the icecream would also be an essential. Sending you crafty hugs and wishes for better days ahead. Buttons x

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 .   ...
