We’ve had a brief respite from the hot muggy hazy days of early summer and this morning I walked to downtown for the first time to shoot some photos. Usually I have Phoebe with me and we skirt the business area but today I left her at home. I’ve been in McKinney for almost six […]
“Lulu was always ready at a moment’s notice to take off anywhere!”
I got this beautiful little collage in the mail yesterday from Tyn at pookieville. It’s part of another chunky book swap I’m doing at Flickr. The theme is “travel” and I love the way Tyn interpreted it. She is much more generous with her […]
I got a request to trade an ATC I accidentally left in a swap group two years ago. I thought the group had disintegrated but apparently it has been recently revived. I couldn’t find the original ATC so I made this one as a substitute. I had forgotten how much I used to enjoy making […]
This week’s prompt for “inspire me thursday” was “Silence.” I’m one of those people who doesn’t mind silence. My offbeat work schedule, which includes Sundays and evenings, means I’m often the only person occupying my side of the office building. Sometimes I listen to podcasts, but often I just revel in the quiet as I […]
ok, I have been lazy, sort of. Partly I have been uninspired. I felt like a slug last week. Maybe the hot muggy weather and a case of poison ivy had something to do with it. (Yes, I stumbled into that lovely venomous vine with three leaves. It’s clearing up now and I’m sick of […]
I really like living in the historic district of McKinney. When I take Phoebe for a walk I can take a different route every time and almost always see something new. I have been leaving my camera at home, but here’s a fairly recent shot of one of the gingerbread gables. Many of these […]
Number 7: What feeds your desire to feel that you are more important or attractive or better or more special than others? How does this excessive feeling of pride feed your Ego and distort your reality? How does its shadow become your downfall? Is there a way that you see towards a healthier way […]
Here’s my first mini assemblage made from the Altoids tin I “rusted” with bleach and vinegar. I left the pieces outside for several days, and the slimy goo that covered the metal dried nicely and stuck to the can. It got rained on, too, so some of it may have washed away. If I rubbed […]
We’re having some dark rainy days after a weekend of hot sunshine and it’s wreaking havoc with my arthritic joints and my sleep. I’m getting up early because I don’t sleep well, and I am NOT a morning person. Even a pink flamingo sighting failed to perk me up. Art projects are languishing. I have […]
