    Inspired by Pinterest

    June 6, 2012 - By 
    It’s happened again…I just have to make some new things I’ve seen on Pinterest.
    Such as these Kale chips!
    OH YUM!
    Crispy, crunchy, healthy, yummy.
    Here’s a link to the the original post.
    Credit where credit is due….

    The second inspiration didn’t have any readable instructions…just a series of photos pinned. So, unfortunately, I can’t give credit to whom it’s due.

    Here’s the original “pin” (left) which summed itself up nicely.

     

    <—–
    I used an ugly canvas I picked up at a garage sale…gessoed and tissue papered it before painting it green.

     

    I thought the green left behind my leaves was a little boring so I went back with painted and retouched them.
    Looks pretty dumb on the shed door but I happened to have a nail there for the photo op.
    Have you been inspired lately?

    Tea with the birds

    June 5, 2012 - By 
    As I sip my yummy iced tea (from the bargain bin, $0.75 baby) and make my Target list,
    I hear a curious sound.
    Rustling in the serviceberry tree.
    The Cedar Waxwings have returned….
    They come every year to pick it clean.
    I think they are so beautiful.
    What I don’t think is so beautiful are the messes they leave everywhere. Apparently those berries go right through them. Sorry…TMI.

     

    Gracie is very entertained.
    What more could a cat want….warm sun to lay in while watching dozens of birds right outside the window.
    What are you doing today?
    Obviously Target is on my list…as well as stopping by my friends Tea Tuesday blogs.

    Quote tip-in

    June 4, 2012 - By 

     

    I have a passion for words. Quotes especially. I find myself making more and more quote tip-ins. I guess that means I’ll need to put together another book one day.
    We’ve been watching the Hatfields & McCoys mini series.
    I think that’s what brought out the photo.  It’s actually from an old Reminisce magazine. My folks used to get that one…I’ve saved some of them since they have such fun stuff inside.
    Thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper behind the photo. She makes the best handmade paper I’ve ever seen!
