...and

Well, I think I have this blog like I want it for now. Still want to work on the text colors but it'll have to do for now.
Tomorrow is my Birthday. Yep Leap Year day. I will have had 16 actual birthdays but have spent 64 years getting to sixteen. I am going on a short trip with a girl friend and will spend the day enjoying myself...like I dont' do that on most days.

Updating Blog Challenge!

I have spent way too much time trying to update this Blog's look. I can't decide if it's my computer or me but it is frustrating. I need to leave it and get to the gym. ...to be continued....

The Snow Has Arrived!

Well, snow has once again fallen in Michigan. We have about 6 inches of the white stuff on the ground, wet and fluffy. It's coming down about an inch an hour at the moment. Good day to stay inside; knit, listen to an e-audio book (Solomon's Oak) and paint except for the time I am out having lunch with my teacher friends who have a snow day today. The one thing I miss about being in the classroom...waking up to snow and holding my breath waiting for the news of 'school's called off'.  This one is especially nice because it came on a Friday making a wonderful 3 day weekend.

Imaginary Visit to the Beach

At last! My art class with Laure Ferlita began today. We will taking an imaginary visit to the Beach. While I have been sketching and painting sine the end of the last class, I am glad to be back in a class situation. I am excited about learning new things from Laure and meeting new artist friends and just have fun playing with paint. 

Busy Month

Just found the blogger app for my phone. Since I haven't been here in over a month it seems I thought I would try posting from my phone. Time has just slipped away since I last posted but I've been busy and that's good.

A friend of mine lives in Colon, Michigan which is the Magic Capital of the World. She is a member of the Lions Club and every year they sell lapel pins. Apparently people collect these pins from all over the world. She asked me to design this years pin. What fun that is. This little guy is the rough draft and will change several times but I thought he was pretty cute.
