    Calendar catch up

    It suddenly occurred to me the other day that I never showed my October calendar completed nor had I even made my November. Geesh…talk about falling behind.

    oct finished

    I love the colors of Fall…warm and cozy.

    My November page I’m not so fond of…the color dried my lighter and more pinkish than expected. But I’m just going to roll with it. I totally forgot to photograph November before writing on it….oh well. It’s a sneak preview.

    T Tuesday: Veterans Day edition

    snow teaHappy Tuesday! It’s Veteran’s Day here in the USA. Time to remember and pay tribute to those who have served and are still serving in our armed forces.

    Here’s my favorite veteran…my dad…in 1946.3-3-2013 12-35-3_051 edit

    Below is the original scan of the slide image.

    I’m thrilled I was able to coax the colors back to a more natural look. What a difference.

    As for the rest of my day…I’ll be home catching up on housework and shoveling out the end of the driveway. I’d forgotten that it needs to be widened at the end…if it doesn’t we windup with a very narrow driveway once the snow is several feet deep at the street.

    What are you doing today?

    EDIT: I almost forgot…my second sale went well. I sold out of one item and nearly of another. It was a good day.

    A day of firsts

    For the first time in a very long time…since August I think…I created an art journal page. No question LOVE

    I noticed after completion that my color scheme is leaning toward Christmas. It must be that we are getting our first snowfall this season.  They say it’s going to be a big one too!

    Little J was supposed to leave on her first overnight field trip this morning but they postponed due to weather. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the disruption.

    I’ve already shoveled the driveway once and I know it’s only the first of many.

    This also is the first blog post that wasn’t a T stands for Tuesday post in quite sometime. I’m getting back on track…hopefully.
