~The tree grew~

I still have a little obsession with trees…… a friend came over today and we got a little crafty, no sorry a little artsy.  I just read that verse, Daniel 4:11,  today with the kids in homeschooling, and thought it needed to be added to a little piece of artwork. 

 

 

 

This is where we went last sunday afternoon…. I just love it!  Now I don’t remember what the name of this place is, but I do know it’s in the town of Manderscheid.   You can feed the fish and the ducks and walk around the cute little pond, and when your tired of the fish and ducks you can rest and have a coffee and maybe eat some of the fish you just fed, at the restaurant on the other side of the lake.

 

even better….

 

~InJoy~

Our base has an awsome homeschooling group that the kids and I have enjoyed so much, especially this past year and half or so.   The mom’s in the group have named the Ladies Nights Meetings   InJoy  and there was talk of making some T-Shirts … well nothing really happened so I totally jumped on the project and have enlisted the help of my super talented husband Shad.  

here are some of the BLENDED ideas we came up with….

breathe it in

I just wanted to say that I LOVE the beach…. I miss it dearly already. 

We had a great vacation…. I am so SO HAPPY that I got to see my brother  the musician , who we drove 4 hrs to pick up so he could come stay at the beach with us… Please check out his music…he’s the tall one with a blue guitar.

I am super happy that I got to see my  sister and brothers-in-law and meet my little neice Keyra for the the first time!   

 We ended up staying HERE…. it’s for military but I still wanted to tell everyone how awsome it was. 

 

We had a bbq with family and friends we havnt seen in a long time…. all right there, at the cottage on the beach.

we went to the beach to TRY to catch some waves….

 

some were caught… some were not….

 

relaxation and castle building happened as well…

 

later on, skateboards were ridden and hotdogs were eaten….

 

We also went to BUSCH GARDENS …. my favorite ride was the GRIFFON.

 

Long trips were taken…. good FRIENDS were made. 

 

Birthdays dinners were eaten….

 

Sunsets were watched …

 

Wonderful moments were captured…

 

A few more sunsets were captured alive….

 

A wonderfull time was had by all… I’ve missed ART!  I will get to blogging all about it… but for now I will leave you with some shots of our very last night in america….

priceless…

Guess what?  I’m coming home to visit for a couple weeks…. I’ve missed America.  I can’t WAIT to be overwhelmed, and overstimulated by it all!   I forget what Target and Walmart look like… which one has the smiley face symbol?    Also hellooooo Micheals, Barnes + Noble, and any mall we find.  Haven’t been to America for 4.5 yrs and well I didn’t think I missed it this much! 

this is not America… this is a painting I was commissioned to do for somone who fell in love with poppies and Italy.  whaddya think?

so yeah….

i’m blogging from the library…. i just wanted to say our internet has been down for a couple days, so that’s why no art to share, and there’s a lot, and just a really quick hi, and goodbye. 

i hope your all getting crafty, arsty-fartsy, and enjoying any good weather!

Lord willing we are back online next week! 

have a loverly day
