Tiger,Courage and Other Misc items

....

Well today class (lol) I want to talk about courage. Are you brave? Now I could quote a famous line from that Movie Dirty dancing, no its not "Nobody puts Baby in the Corner. It’s about being afraid. Who knows that line? To tell you truth I am afraid of many things, the older I get. I don’t like snakes, mice, or chipmunks. My family constantly reminds me of a story which I will tell you now. A few years ago we were in Yellowstone, and we stopped at this little pit stop, where you could hike , picnic etc. A bunch of people were milling around, feeding this tame little chipmunk. Not me, because I don’t like chipmunks, and somebody threw a piece of food and it landed on my foot, I bent over to pick it off my shoe and throw it toward the chipmunk, I guess he thought I was going to eat it and he came at me. I see him running toward me and I start running the other way screaming for help. Finally somebody throws the little guy some more food and he stopped and forgot about me. Meanwhile everybody there is laughing at me. Of course my husband got this on video, so every year it pops out and they all have a good laugh. They don't know that I have been chipmunk scarred for the rest of my life.

Now about Tiger Woods, here is my theory. His wife got pissed at him for his alleged affair. They were having a tiff in the house, he decides to leave and gets in his car, and she comes at him with one of his golf clubs, a fitting symbol don’t you think, he trying to get away , after she has broken the back window and the front window and he hits the fire hydrant. Now according to him she was a big help to him If I was her I would have gone in the house......



Well enough stories for today. how is your day going. And what are you afraid of

Is the holiday over yet...

Well I took a little thanksgiving break, even though we had our Canadian Thanksgiving weeks ago.  When a holiday comes up I like to celebrate it, no matter if its mine or not.  What have I been doing, not much.  A little art and lots of bad sketching.  As you can see from the clown above.  I was not in a happy clown mood the day I sketched this.   Alert: Keep your children away from the screen so they will not be scarred for life from see this clown.  Just had another look at this guy and he looks like a bad 60 's rock star.

Other than that, I need to get my butt in gear and finish my Christmas Shopping.  This week.  The shopper returned home late last night from a whirlwind trip to Vegas her first as she just turned 21.  Was very impressed, did not gamble much as we have casinos here she can gamble at.  All you have to be is 18.  But shop she did, that how she earned her name.  Had to pay duty...so you know she shopped.  Well  tonight I am going out with the girls to see New Moon.....I got them hooked on the books,  And we are suppose to have heavy snow, I believe it.  Its all gray and looks and feels like a big snowfall. 

Well I am back to blogging so I will talk to you all tommorow and give you a review of the movie.  If I can dig myself out of the parkfing lot tonight.

The postwoman brought a surprise today.  This  unexpected parcel, sent to me by Roseanne of http://roseannc.blogspot.com/ an excellent artist, art teacher, principal and all round nice person and I am not just saying that because I got a parcel from her.  The wrapping is fabric, she had pink ribbon and a dried rose on it .  Really almost to beautiful to open, but I managed (lol).

Opened the box which was covered with tissue paper. and lo and behold a bevy of art goodies should appear.

The box was stuffed with stuff, stamps, envelopes,portfolio oil pastels, cards, images from magazines, the most beautiful paper (I have a thing for paper I love it) you name it, I have it in the box. 

I am one lucky girl....go to her site, she has beautiful art journals that she keeps.   Do you like the bigger pictures or smaller ones, I am trying this out.

August 24/09

Now I live in Canada and we have extreme  seasons, fall usually there is snow by Halloween, and by your Thanksgiving in the States, we usually are under foot with a ton of snow and cold weather.  This weather, we just had snow that stayed a couple of days ago.  We did have snow for Halloween, but it went away.  The weather is unseasonally good.  So here is to good weather for the winter season./

Friday Friday

This is a journal page I recently did.  Today yeah is Friday , tonight on the dinner menu is Lasagna, and Salad, not made by me, but by Francos Italian Restaurant to go.  It is great and not cooked by me.  That is what happens around here on Friday night, no cooking, watching Stargate Universe, yes I am a space geek.  Maybe a little book reading and just chilling, me the hubby and devil dog.  What do you have planned for tonight

A new post and old art

I do have some new stuff but none I can post yet.  So here is an old journal page...I have been busy, going here and there and really not getting to much accomplished.  Do you ever have those days when you seem like your going constantly and then you look back to see what you have accomplished and its really not much.  Today is really a bleak looking day, its a day to stay in , have a hot chocolate, turn on the fireplace and watch a good movie.  Now if only I could do that, dont you hate when real life intrudes ..I mean really who else is going to clean the house, and make the dinner, and do the laundry, and take my mother for blood tests, walk the dog and on on on...(lol).  Well i took some pictures of my tree for Julies blog and when I just looked at them, I realized I took a picture of the wrong tree.  So now I must go and take a picture of the tree and get in  the car and go do some errands.  I might post more tonight . 

Just Humming Along....

Welll its Sunday night, and I am watching Hugh Grant in About A boy.  Now  Hugh Grant really is not my fvourite actor of all time, I do think he is cute..But he plays the same part in all his movies a bumbling nice cute guy. m  But I must admit I do like this movie.  Well  what did I do this weekend.  Well this the above picture is something I was just fooling around with.  I was trying to make a humming bird,now I dont really think hummingbirds are this colour, but I got carried away.

Last night I made a couple of ATC's for the trades and I will show them to you tommorow.  I actually sat down last night to work on Teesha Moores journal, I was going to sew the signatures, but could not find the needle.  Now I have bought the same needle three times and dont know where I put them  So I bought another needle today and wouldn't you know it I found all three hidden needles  So tommorow is the day I will sew the signatures in Teeshas journal, and finish Rhomany's journal...
