    T Tuesday: celebration edition

    April 21, 2015 - By 

    T stands for Tuesday_200Welcome, welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday.

    I’m having a cup of half and half laced coffee this morning in honor of our hostess, Elizabeth. Of course, she drinks hers nearly white with cream. I just couldn’t do it.

    I’m raising my cup to her not only to say thank you for hosting our weekly blog party but in addition to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Ok I’m a day early but that’s better than a day late!!

    Mr G and I also had a celebration over the weekend…our 21st wedding anniversary! We had a relaxing quiet weekend at home. We had sushi, got caught up on some of our shows and for a brief bit, I nearly forgot we had children…they were with my in-laws for the weekend. It was almost like we were newlyweds again.

    This is a crazy busy week for me. I’m not sure how much crafting if any I’ll be able to do. You can check out a couple of my latest art journal pages here and here.

    What are you doing today?

    PS…don’t forget to wish Elizabeth a Happy Birthday tomorrow!

    T Tuesday: Java edition

    April 14, 2015 - By 

    I thought I’d share another page in my coffee theme altered book on this T stands for Tuesday. I can see the end of the book. I’m estimating I only have room for 3 more spreads. Longest project ever!!

    Now that it’s nearing completion, I’m really trying to grind it out… *grin*

    plant update

    I thought I’d give a little peek at my seedlings. They are getting leggy…time to transplant into slightly bigger pots.

    I also had to share this gorgeous photo of Gracie that Little J aka Mini-me aka JR took the other day. I knew she was using my camera but wasn’t sure for what. She definitely has an eye for lighting.

    I’ve got errands, phone calls and chores on my list today. Living the dream. 🙂

    T Tuesday: sugar rush edition

    April 7, 2015 - By 

    T stands for Tuesday_200Welcome to T stands for Tuesday…grab a cup while we chat.

    sugar rush tea

    We have way too much sugar left over from Easter. Thank goodness I don’t like marshmallows or these would be dangerous sitting all unwrapped begging to be eaten.

    Maybe fueled by sugar or just that spring cleaning and purging mode but I have dug out a box of items that have been squirreled away for far too long.

    sellingBack in the late 90’s I used to sell on eBay. This box was forgotten in the back of our storage room until now.  I also went thru my cookbook collection…some of it just has to go. Recently I’ve started selling a few things on eBay again but the fee structure is pretty steep. But you can’t sell just anything on Etsy.

    painting

    I did get creative this past week as well. This 6×6 canvas makes me quite happy. Its a recycled canvas…meaning I hated the first painting I did so I covered it all up and began anew.

    I’ve also worked in my coffee theme AB again but you’ll have to come back tomorrow if you want to see that.

    I’ve got lots on my list today, more than I’ll ever accomplish.
