good things....
gluten free, dairy free muffin mix with a few additions. grated carrot, crushed pineapple, coconut and walnuts. yum!
blackberries, strawberries, blueberries & nectarines for a scrumptious fruit salad!
and last but not least a big huge bowl of greens, celery, carrots & pea pods all ready for lunch. just add hard boiled eggs, ham & turkey and ya got chef salad. or add some tuna and soy nuts, or some grilled chicken breast. top any or all of these off with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and you are done!
I feel so friggin' organized this week I scare myself! BOO! (that's next month folks!)
today is the first official art day of the fall season...let's see what creative messes we can make!
is it Monday yet?
thursday? WOT? holy crap! can we talk? first off stampers celebration this past weekend was such a blast. Laurie and I rocked Airdrie. tons of pics over here. I love teaching with that gal and love road trips with her. SO much fun.
been WAY busy cleaning up from the trip (you know getting all that paint off my nails!) also gearing up for our next teaching gig at treasured memories. super excited about that. dates should be up soon!
art day was part work, part play and then our brains went bonkers! you know when you get a thought and pretty soon you are writing as fast as you can and doing sketches on tiny little post it notes cause god knows you have no bigger paper in a frickin' art studio! LOL! lots of good ideas for future classes.
I have some pics from last weeks journals to share. this is kind of a swap. just back and forth to me then Laurie and back. the journal is called good and evil and for some reason I felt like I needed to use red a lot. wierd? I will post more pics tomorrow!
this first one I used some of the techniques from betty's class and played around with these. I like the long irregular type of lettering. fun!
this one was gesso and smooshing (technical term) the paint and some stamping. words recalling moments of frustration and fear, love and understanding. the other page recognizing that I have problems remembering things. both pages related yet different.
last two pages were done first with left over practice sheet and black masking tape for the writing base. second page Laurie was painting through the aftermath of chipboard letters and when she placed it down I said "HEY" put that in my journal and so she did and I loved the effect.
feeling yucky still...kinda of tired, yucky tummy this week so off to bed....more tomorrow!

is it Tuesday?
who dat? that's my girl! peeking from behind hundreds of fresh bottles of luscious, but cheap paint. every Tuesday we have "art Tuesday". paint is splattered, papers cut and pasted, sewing machine a buzz, singing as loud as we can, giggles, puppies pacing and all the while purely enjoying OUR time to just play. no rules, no deadlines (okay maybe some) and the occassional chocolate drop. love these days....SO MUCH!
marvelous monday!
ah yes, the start of a new week, THE week, you know, THE MARATHON! yup! few things happened in the last couple of days and here's the thing, well, not one of the things, but just in general, like, here is the thing! The thing is, you wake up on Saturday morning and head out for what is to be your race pace run. kind of a get the feel of how fast you will be running the race at. so I head out with my running pal and a group leader for 16 km. the group leader is done at around 4 km and we keep running. you see V and I spend the whole time talking while we run. we truly believe that IF we were to run a marathon together that we would talk the whole time! great run, great company with great food after. the run done and I head home for a shower and then I am off again for an afternoon of errands. I get home and am exhausted! relieved that I do not have to wake up early on Sunday to run, but instead participate in THIS. A 5km walk with my team "the spicy italians". there were nine of us this time around. my cousin tammy, my hero, looked awesome! she amazes me everyday with her courage and is the angel on my shoulder when I feel I couldn't run another minute. she keeps me going and she keeps on going. after the walk it was off to T's birthday party. what a hoot! I miss D being that little. I loved watching the little boys playing with toys, blowing out the candles, opening presents and just the neat ways they interact with each other at that age. so there goes saturday and sunday and we arrive at monday morning. "art day" has two days this week as "lost and found studio" have a few deadlines to meet. okay so I created the deadlines to keep us focused. meanwhile L tosses in the occasional curve ball just for shits and giggles and to see if I am still listening. that and carmel popcorn! yum! we spent the day working or I should say playing cause man I had tons of fun! I wish I could share all the stuff we have been creating, but it is for the "secret workshop" so I gotta hush. how about a peek?
cool! so the studio is a buzzing and tomorrow is another "art day". finish off this project and try to start work on the order which I have given a due date of October 31. and here is another pic from the 21 day challenge. ciao!
