Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

We are coming up on the Thanksgiving week. For our family it is not only a day of gratitude for our blessings but also a day of rememberance of our father who passed away 2 years ago on Thanksgiving.
These family pictures bring back sweet memories. Mom(Len), Dad (Don), Dawn, Dusk and Jeff. I am so blessed to have had a parents that cared enough to be apart of my life with guidance, love and most of all laughter. Here's to you dad.

More Virginia Fall

I love fall colors. Gourds are one of my favorites. They come in so many shapes, sizes and colors. Apples are my next favorite because they are so sweet and jucey. Can't you smell the apple pies baking or the spicey smell of cider on a cold day? It's time to break out the hat and mittens.

Virginia in the fall

Ned and I just spent two weeks in Virginia with our grand children. We had so much fun. Hollin (9 mos), Ned, Camden, Burton, Me, Andrew at a pumkin patch.

Chillin' in the backyard

My hubby Ned with out green cheeked conure "Peeps". She loves Ned, especially if he has something to eat or drink. They're just hanging out in the back yard

Hollin's Butterflies

Well here they are, Hollin's Butterflies. Soon they will be mailed off to my granddaughter. I am having so much fun. Now I have to really get busy working on the Hydrocephalus fabric because September is Hydrocephalus month. My creative juices are flowing. Bye for now.

Create!

My little nest....pastel on suede matte board. Watering can watercolor. YW Camp pencil. I am learning how to do Photo Shop Elements and then hope to purchase Photo Shop Illustrator to work my magic with my fabric designs.

Back from Camp and Ready to Create!

Hi all, YW Camp was wonderful. The girls were great, the weather warm and those of us working in crafts had a blast! Rucker Lake, CA is a wonderful place to camp. We had a very spiritual Sunday which set the tone for the rest of the week. Of course we sang silly camp songs and performed silly skits that a part of camp. Here are a few pictures.
