yay!  i love it when folks actually TELL me when my stuff is in an etsy treasury!  there are days when i log onto etsy and i have like 7 or 8 new hearts, and i have no idea why…..  so you can go here to see this one.

i have been having fun in my art journal… not sure what either set of pages will become but i like them just like this too!

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.

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….

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.

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!
