All the ladies in a row

going to ponder that while on a break
even if I don't come back
I will still be checking my favourites and commenting

so maybe I have said all there is to say
we will see.

listening to a book on cd by Karen Robards and loving it
listening to songs on my IPod well walking devil dog
finishing up the 29 faces challenge and glad of it
thinking of giving a painted canvas to a friend and wondering she will like it
thinking of what to pack for when I go to Phoenix with my girl friends
getting the house ready for winter
washing all the  winter blankets
getting out the winter jackets and mitts
getting out the winter matts
thinking of painting some pumpkins for the front of the house
bonding with both sets of neighbours
cleaning out the summer clutter
wondering what to cook and freeze for the hubster while gone, so he does not starve
helping out with a friends campaign who is running for Mayor
cooking healthy recipes to help in my quest for healthy eating
thinking about quitting the blog , and pondering they whys and why not's
reading all my favourite blogs and leaving comments

Smile

 
Used neo crayons on her, and of course my favourite whiteout
 
today the hubby is out of town, wow a whole day by myself
what shall I do.  Going for lunch with a friend, and
then burying myself in the art room.
 
After all my big talk yesterday, the only thing I did was dye my hair.  One thing at a
time........

Lets dance


This is part of my angel series booklet that I did and it goes for 29 faces as well.
 
I had fun doing this one, she was a dancer to start with, a free found image
and then I just changed her up with paint, a new dress wings and a gelli
background.

Last day of summer.

 
hey all you bloggers out there how are you this great Saturday last day of summer
are you thinking about fall
I am I like fall, cool nights, cozy fire, leaves changing, where I live the leaves are changing already
Fall usually is short around here near the end of October and 90% of the time we have snow by the time Halloween arrives, or its so cold you always have to wear your boots and coat under your
Halloween costume
If you are a regular reader of the blog you know I go away for about 10 days
with my girl friends to Phoenix , this year we leave on Oct 7 and I cant wait.
One year we went late in November and were Christmas shopping in our shorts, that
felt really weird but nice, no heavy coat to worry about  and tire you out.
 
today I am off  to the stationary store, to the art store, to visit a doggy daycare .  I once in awhile put the devil dog in a daycare for the day, for her to socialize with other pooches.  Mine moved quite far away and I decided it was time for a change so I am looking at other ones.  So far they are more like prisons, then fun.
So that's my day, what's on your agenda for today

Friday Face and favourite links.....



well here it is Friday already the week passing by quickly
before I retired I always wondered how I would pass my days
now I wonder how I ever had time to work
when you are retired, you do things on your own time
what you don't do today you can do tomorrow
 
I have been surfing the net again and on Friday's I want to
restart sharing some of my favorite's I have found during the week
so without further ado here are some of the favorites I found

 
this is a great site I just found, she shares her love of drawing with you




this is a great video she uses a gelli plate, with stencils then makes a bag out of it

Bed Head

 
 
This is what I look like when I wake up
is enough even to scare me
I cant just jump out of bed and go somewhere
first I have to take a shower and do my hair.
Not much work to my hair, I wear it short, and its dead straight
but I am lucky and have a lot of hair and its thick
ok tonight its leftovers, whatever is in the fridge
I bought a new pair of winter shoes today
and a workout jacket
hubby asked when was I going to workout in it
and I replied, I don't want to get it dirty

Sunday, September 08, 2013

all buttoned up nowhere to go

 
she looks quite straight laced
 I assure I am not
 
today its going to be sunny and warm
everyone assures me that they are feeling good enough for a bbq
so bbq for dinner it is
the shopper is coming over in a few minutes and we are
going to winners (for my usa friends its like homesense but with clothes and home goods)
so I am off to blow the dust off my wallet

half a face is better than none

 
this is the cover to my 29 faces booklet
 
tonight we are going out with family for pizza
what type of pizza do you like
I like veggie, or smoked ham and pineapple
regular crust
 
devil dog is wearing a cone on her head to keep her from licking the cream we have to
apply to her lady parts
she does not like the cone, so she has been pouting for two days now
 
the shopper (aka the daughter)has been quite sick since coming
home from Thailand ,bad stomach pains and the rest that goes along with it
the doctor gave her something for it, so it seems to be easing a little
 
well devil dog needs a walk and since I am only the only one home I guess I am
elected to do it
have a great Friday
faces doesn't take a break on the weekends so I guess I will be here

so far so good on keeping up on the challenge

New Style, Old style

 
If you haven't noticed  I am trying a new style of face
I have not given up on my old style, you will see them here soon
so what do you think, should I persue this
I am trying for a more realistic look, not quite exact but not as
folk arty as my other ones.
its hot here today and I think its bbq tonight for dinner
devil dog has to go to the vet lady problems I think (lol)
my art store has a big sale on, I am trying to stay away but it keeps calling me to come and spend some money on stuff I really don't need.
will keep you informed if my muse decides to go and spend
that what I tell the hubby it wasn't me who spent the money
