    SOC4: week 4

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today?  Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.

    I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 20140630_5607Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back.  Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim…  Anyone with me?

    20140630_5611This little bit of text happened to fall into my lap…. I thought it was fitting.

    SOC4: week 3

    June 24, 2014 - By 

    Yikes…Kristen picked a little harder set of colors for me this 3rd week of The Summer of Color! On first inspection I thought….”sure, you got this”…but as it turned out…it was harder that I thought to come up with something.

    20140624_5408It’s not my favorite journal page. My grey paint was way thicker than I wanted so the page looks too “flat” to me.  Oh well…live and learn.

    T Tuesday: beach edition

    June 24, 2014 - By 

    I’m very late getting to my T stands for Tuesday post.  I really wanted to get a workout in this morning…then there was grocery shopping to do.  After that we had a date with the beach. I, of course, had my trusty water bottle with me…20140624_5413

    Our local beaches had been closed for a few days due to exceptionally high lake levels. All the area lakes are “wake free” zones.  No speed boating, trolling for fish, jet skis or anything that moves enough water to create a wake….that’s the V-shaped pattern in the water behind a boat for those of you without lots of water around. 20140624_5403The sand beach usually goes out to where the kids are playing.  They don’t’ seem to mind though. There were still tons of families out enjoying the day.20140624_5402It was just perfect.

    Now since I’m well hydrated but still a little thirsty…20140624_5412

    I think it’s time for one of these.
