Throwback Thursday on Friday
I posted my Throwback Thursday picture to my facebook, but forgot to come back here and post it to my blog. I got caught up in a couple of hours of tripping down Memory Lane, going through several hard drives of photos. Such fun memories...recent and not so recent. Anyway here is this weeks spotlight. 2010 Stacey at 15....LOVE this picture!
My Poor Neglected Blog!
I know, I know! I promised MONTHS ago that I would be back to blogging soon...but we've had a lovely summer of sunshine here in Florida and I have enjoying it! I've been trying to keep up with my Throwback Thursday and at least getting a picture up. I plan on going back to edit the posts to add a little history and story to each one as I love the old stories and memories. My art desk has been sitting sadly neglected also...but Winter is moving in and with it longer, darker nights. I'll be inside and back at my desk soon. No more late evenings enjoying the wonderful Florida sunshine. Well, it's off to work! Have a great day everyone!

Throwback Thursday
Well, it's time to dig in the vaults again this week. This time we are going back to 1969 and the last time I ever had a short haircut. I was 13 years old and this was my 7th grade school picture. Shortly after this someone called me "Sonny" and I vowed to never have short hair again. (Of course I was not wearing a dress when that happened...but STILL..really "Sonny!"
PaperArsty 3UP Challenge
Hi everyone! Finally had time to check in and give a short update here on my blog. School started back a couple of weeks ago, and life has been hectic getting everyone back into the school routine. Although I haven't been posting on my blog, it doesn't mean that I haven't been at my art desk. I've made quite a few Birthday Cards and Get Well Cards this month, but didn't slow down to take pictures before I sent them on their way. I also joined in with PaperArsty 3UP Challenge on the PaperArtsy Blog. Every participant was sent a little bundle of goodies to use. Included in my package was their Nut and Meg 7 stamp set. As the little elf didn't have a body...this proved to me a bit of a challenge. For the first piece I used the small Hanging Chunky Board that was also included in my package. The package also included a color swatch that we were supposed to use so that all the projects posted the same ...

Day 15 - Throwback Thursday
Blogalong 30 Posts - 30 Days For Throwback Thursday we are going to 1969-1970. My brothers, sister and I raised chickens and showed them in the local County Fair. Cochins, Silkies, Silver Sebrights and Golden Sebrights to name a few. We carried those chickens around like babies and washed them in tubs of soapy water just like the family dogs. Here we are are bathing a few of them and getting them ready to go to the Fair. These were the only pictures I could find in my scanned files. I'm going to have to go through Mom's photo albums to see what else I can find. First one up was taken in 1970 . This picture is actually from 1969... I can tell because I had a super short hair cut that year. That was the last time I ever had short hair.
Day 12
Blogalong 30 Posts - 30 Days Okay...it's been a long and full day. A full day of work, followed by a two and a half hour Boy Scout Committee meeting, which was then followed by a 45 minute round trip drive to pick up my poor sick daughter from a friends house. So tonight I'm just going to share one of my digital art pieces from many years ago and call it a night.
Day 11
Blogalong 30 Posts - 30 Day Sunday Trip Down Memory Lane These days I do all my scrapping digitally...and have been since I got my first digital camera in 2004. I was looking through my files today and ran across a couple that really made my heart happy. My first car! Oh how I loved that little car! I think I'm going to posting fun images from the past every Sunday. It was fun to take a trip down Memory Lane!
Day 10
Blogalong 30 Posts - 30 Days Art Washes Away Decided to play in my art journal today. There was a page that I created a few months ago that didn't quite feel finished and when I was mounting and playing with my Zettiology Stamps the other day, I knew one of them would be perfect for that page. I sat down with my supplies and just played. I didn't think about what I was doing, or how it was going to look, I just dabbed, rubbed, painted and scribbled. I'm thinking I like it. Love the big dust balls being washed away!
Day 9
Blogalong 30 Posts - 30 Days Just a little playing with my Copics tonight. It's been so long since I dug them out and they were getting lonely. The stamp is from Zettiology number 22-114E. I've had this stamp for a least 10 years and it is still offered in their Catalog. Zettiology Rubber Stamps are so fun!!
Day 8
Blogalong 30 Days - 30 Posts Short and Sweet tonight as I just got home from an enjoyable evening listening to William Lishman speak about his life, his art and his work with Operation Migration helping to save endangered birds. Each morning before I go to work I tune in to the current Operation Migration Class of Whooping Cranes on USTREAM and watch as they teach the birds to fly together and prepare them for migration in the fall. It was a joy to listen to the one of the originators of the project this evening. Now I'm going to enjoy a bowl of ice cream, catch up with a few blogs and call it a night. I'll be back tomorrow...
