Challenges!

This past week I've been working on some challenges over at The ScrapRoom. This first one is for the Sketch Challenge. While on vacation, we visited a vineyard that also had three building loaded with antiques of all kinds. Here is a small sampling of the cameras. Those October Afternoon wild cards came in very handy!

These next two are for The ScrapRoom's Scraplift Challenge. I couldt decide which one to do so not only did I enter once, but couldn't resist and had to lift Melanie twice! The first one will be framed and included on my scrap area wall with the others.

This one is of our Maggie, my mixed breed best friend that we rescued from the humane society eight years ago. She is a very sweet and loving dog, and so full of energy! She is always on the go and her favorite thing to do, besides shed, is chasing after her frisbee.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Godspeed

Change is good!

Or at least that's what I keep telling myself and I'm almost ready to believe it!

I made the decision to let my moderator position at The ScrapRoom go and get some things in my personal life in order. I've also decided that I need to take my creativity to new heights and dig into other areas that I've ignored for way too long. I'll still scrapbook here and there, but I've had this wild urge to finger paint, yes I said finger paint, for quite some time now.

I've been peeking at Donna Downey's work for a few months and just had to give it a shot when I saw her video. Was I glad I did!! I haven't quite decided what, if anything I want to include in the center of this painting, but like scrapbooking, I can always pick it up and finish it another time. :-)

I've been scrapping random photos of our vacation to San Diego. Remember how I said I was making the switch to 8.5 x 11?  I LOVE IT!! Here are a few I've finished to date:

While there I met up with Edie & her family. We have been "cyber friends" ever since I joined TSR and it was so neat to be able to sit and chat in person and share an evening with her and her wonderful family!

I have more, but I'll share them at another time. Thanks for looking. 

Godspeed

POSIES!!

Oh my goodness!! Today was an absolutely beautiful day and I celebrated it with taking Maggie for a nice long walk, and planting a few posies! They just brighten up the patio and make me smile! :-)

Godspeed
