Play Time

I have been spending a lot of time playing with my new camera in my neighbor's gardens. And making ATC cards and adding to my current Art Journal. We had a great time at RED SOX Nation Meeting last week and lots of lightning on the long way home in the golf cart. Today I have lunch with the Red Hat group at the local Japanese restaurant. More later...

New Techy Stuff

I am going to experiment with my new camera today. I am so excited to have the camera of my dreams (thanks to hubby for my early b'day gift). I also upgraded to a Droid cell phone. So I have a lot of Techy stuff to learn.

We went to my cousin's house for a Lobster Boil this week. It was the best dinner I have had in years...absolutely awesome. Thanks guys!

Showcase Luncheon

Today I went to a Showcase Luncheon at Nancy Lopez Country Club in The Villages, FL where Artist/Writer Diana Hollingsworth Gessler was the speaker. She is a lovely talented lady whose Travel Art Journal Books are as lovely and informative as she is. Please check out her books and her Art (she is represented by a gallery in Naples, FL).
She also writes a feature article for "Southern Lady" magazine. If you haven't seen it - it is full of wonderful recipes, entertaining touches, decor, and gorgeous photography.

I will have to upload a photo of the sweet Doll Cake made by Suzette Katrishen to celebrate a birthday today.

A Good Day for Boston Fans

We went to the Red Sox vs. Rays game last night and they won. A great game by Josh Beckett. The Bruins win the Stanley Cup...Sweeeeet!

Working in my Visual Journal and on my RI "H" ATC's.

Correction

I will come home with a big smile.

Red Sox today

Leaving for the bus to go to the Rays vs. Red Sox Game today.
Hopefully they win and I will come with a big smile.

Long Lost Blog

WOW! I started this Blog three years ago and so much has happened I don't know where to begin.
I retired from Foxwoods last year, we sold our house in RI (a miracle ) and moved to Florida.

My Art is morphing into different shapes and media. Art Journaling is the most constant - I try to add to at least one journal every day. My Florida garden has been my inspiration most days... some in pencil sketches, watercolor (paints, crayons or pencils) and ink. And always my camera.

If you are interested in Art Journaling at all, check out the FREE Online Visual Art Journal Workshop Series at Strathmore Papers. There are three Workshops with 4 weeks of lessons and video instructions. The instructors are Pam Carriker, Lnda Blinn and Roz Stendahl...bet that got your attention! http://www.strathmoreartiststudio.com/group/workshop should get you there.

I will upload some new Art and my finished Journal Spread from Pam Carriker's workshop.
Blessings...
