Mt.Rushmore




Finally back to posting. I have had a long journey since my last post. On our way back home from Memphis my hubby decided we needed to explore new places in the US. His persuasive argument was we may never be this far north again and it is only 5 or so hours out of the way. Being that our journey already was going to have us on the road for about 20 hours what was another 5. So we decided to veer west. From Tennessee into Nebraska was pretty familiar territory. But as we entered into northern Nebraska and Southern South Dakota I was pretty sure the trees had been taken over by the corn. I have never in my life seen so much corn. Well, I guess I should have never complained about all that corn. Because once the corn was gone there was nothing to look at for hours and hours. Those 5 hours seemed like 10. Oh, I almost forgot that we were able to view the 500 or so signs that suggested had to visit Walls Drug store in SD. I must admit the trip was worth the long boring drive. Mount Rushmore was beautiful. It was amazing to me that man could create a masterpiece out of this gigantic rock.

On my time away I kept thinking of the artwork I had to get done when I returned home. Well, weeks later I’m finally about finished with one. This is an illustration of how traveling should be, relaxing and carefree. It is not totally completed. I have not adhered it the background yet because I am not real sure I like the background color. Then I have to take it to a photographer to have it photographed. I am not able to get high quality pictures with my camera. Someday I will have a good camera.

the move begins

I got my hubby headed off to his new job yesterday. Yeah!  He starts work monday.  Now I am on my own to get everything ready for the move. I am glad we have movers coming, however just getting ready for them and getting my house ready to sell is overwhelming.  Yesterday I also celebrated my birthday with mom. Doing the dinner and movie thing. Thought I would top it off with a little frozen custard. Well I always get the same thing but being my birthday and all I decided to get something new. Not sure what the problem was but by the time I got home I was so sick. Hugging the toilet and I didn't even drink alcohol. When I was young and celebrated I knew why I was sick. (to much fun!!). The good news is I believe in celebrating your birthday all week. And the rest of my week is going to be greeeat!  tricia

Oh my, I can’t believe how long it has been since I posted. I have been so busy. I am taking a Spanish class to finally finish up my graphic design degree. I have been totally consumed with trying to learn all these new words. I think the older I get the harder it is for me to learn. Or maybe the fact is my brain is just as stubborn as I am... I did however take a little break to work on some projects for my scrapbook store. The first is an acrylic book using a paper line from SEI. The second is a page using the scraps I had left from the book. The happy baby is meee. The whole time I was making the book the colors made me thinking of my childhood. So I had to go dig out some pictures and match them up. You know how you get when your on a role.
