Project 30 - Day 17 - January 31, 2007

Well, I caught up things at work today and snuck out early. Usually the only time I take off is kids Dr appts...etc...and no special time for just ME. Went shopping for some desparately needed new clothes, met my husband for lunch and then took my camera out to play for an hour before picking up kids and heading out to appointments.

This church is right by where I park at work. I come out every day and see it's pretty steeple against the sky. Today was such a pretty blue day that I decided to shoot it before I left the parking lot for my BIG adventure. LOL






















I headed to one park to check out the water and reflections...but there was still a bit too much chop for reflections, so I turned my attention to a drippy faucet that I found there.






















Finding nothing else interesting at the park, I headed down to a local boat ramp and fishing pier. The first Great Blue Heron I found canal side feeding in the shallows. The next one was sitting out on the dock enjoying the view of the lake and pretty sunshine. Then I looked up to see a little sailboat enjoying the day too.

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 .   ...
