What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday Watercolor Play Had some time to play this week, so I dug out my inks and took on Sandee's Challenge at Frosted Designs to create a painting using inks and pipettes by Ranger . No brushes involved! Free and Loose! What a fun little challenge! ...and on Monday night I decided to paint along with Tracy Weinzapfel and Mixed Media Monday . My painting didn't follow along in her direction, but I had fun flinging watercolor splatters and listening to and reading the chatter going on. Love Monday nights! The stamp is called Cityscape and is by France Papillion for Stampotique . I won this from France a while back and I love the little funky buildings! They have so much personality!
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.
