you can always teach an old dog a new trick

I have done artwork my WHOLE life... I have spent a lot of money on art supplies... but never on REAL GOOD markers... I am in the middle of a project and needed some additional marker colors... so I bought some GOOD markers.. just a few.. some colors I didn't have in my 'not so good ' set of markers.... OH MY!! what a difference good supplies make..... There was NO WAY i could go back to my 'not so good' markers... so I invested in some good markers and wow, wow, wow... soon you will see them on etsy!!

beautiful indeed

wow! what beauty is all around us

promises , promises!!!

soon.... something new will be coming soon!!! I have something for Christmas that will be put on Etsy... I love them . hope you will too.

dreams, castles, and lofty thinking

Good morning.. Isn't this castle pretty... I don't think I ever showed it to you!!.. I designed it... stuck it in a box and basically forgot about it. I so wish I could design more of these.. I thought it would make a pretty wedding centerpiece. and I guess I still think that!!! Anyway I am just enjoying showing it off. Since I know you are all waiting for news of my 'project' and I don't have anything to say about that one yet!.. I almost put up a picture of snow .. I am waiting very impatiently for some more of the white stuff. Today I am off to the north country where it is raining and too warm to turn into snow, but I still enjoy my journeys north. So have a great wonderful, marvelous, fantastic day ... and maybe ,, just maybe my project will soon appear on these 'hallowed walls!!'.

Beauty in the eyes of the beholder

Sometimes right outside your very own back door there is great beauty. This little shot of color is something I walk by every time I walk to the garage.

more kids

All ready to go to church. Aren't these kids the cutest ever?

kids , kids, kids

don't ya just love fall? Here is just a sample of our weekend with our grandkids. We went to a fun pumpkin patch and the two oldest picked out their own pumpkins... I think it was more fun for grandma and grandpa then it was the kids!! But they loved all the other stuff the pmpkin patch had.
