What an interesting challenge this is! Loved working with this tern though the extraction wasn't all easy. Credits: -background: Memories of Summer, Papers by Florju Designs -charm, watercolor flower, silver paint, transfer, brushes, string: ArtPlay Palette Coolth by Anna Aspnes -word art...

Wow! Wonderful way with the sails and boat. Love the faint echo of them in the second part. Can feel the movement in those sails.

Totally adorable little "girls". Nice way to portray this treat for them.

We are under the heat dome which makes me feeling like doing pretty much nothing. They say we haven't had a "heat wave" like this since 2012 here which sounds about right. Class yesterday was lovely in the A/C. The teacher is going to display the two pieces with the wallpaper that I matted...

Sunny and warming up now. Need to get my hair washed and some things ready for class. Chris, thanks for looking at the owl page and your nice comments. We heard it again last night, but just briefly. Hope next week works out with BFF. Nice having such good dinners and a doable puzzle. Ours is...

Got new art supplies today, in particular a new, larger block of watercolor paper that will be good for mixed media. Hope I can start with it in class tomorrow. We had some rain from the remnants of Barry then it cleared up. We are going to get some very hot weather, so I'm not looking forward...

Mostly more of the same today, but I watched a live class with Anna Aspnes that was quite helpful and got me to make some small changes to the latest of my pages of a screech owl. I think it got better and updated it here. Weather is warmer and humid today and this evening raining. Chris...

This is so much fun! Love the skeletal hand and her black fingernails. So much cool stuff in this, even the font.

Today was another beauty. We did the usual Monday things though. Nothing exciting. Nancy, waving as you go off on another adventure! :plane: Looking forward to the pages you'll create afterward. Chris, hope PT went well and that your mom is following through on it for herself. I totally...

We are still having lovely weather and I've had some fun things to do. Wednesday the lady from the library did come to our senior center genealogy group. She looked so very young among us! She is developing local history and genealogy related programing and had interesting things to share but we...

We loved visiting Bosque del Apache to view the Sandhill Cranes and much more. The vehicle line reminds me of driving tours of the refuge. Credits: all Freebies -background: Freebie (March 13, 2016) by Joyful Heart Design -transfer (as mask), leaves: ArtPlay MiniPalette Memento by Anna...

Another gorgeous day here but it's warming up. We may have a visitor at the genealogy group from the library who gives classes there. It'll be interesting if she comes. Chris, good to hear the ankle is getting stronger and balance improved. Hope Ray does well with the med. Too bad you...

Sunday the weather got nice and continued yesterday and today to be sunny, not hot and just wonderful. Still not doing much other than genealogy stuff. We didn't have art class last week because it was the holiday. Tomorrow is the senior center genealogy group and then back to art class on...

When I saw these vibrant azaleas I had to get some photos. I love mine, but they are all white leading to rather different looks. Credits: -background, paper piece, label, hearts, drawing, bow: Scent of Garden by et designs -tape, butterfly, journal paper, top strip paper: Oscraps Collab All...
