This is my first attempt at a portrait
so far so good my son spilled tea on my photo
I was working from; maybe this will give my daughter some incentive to send me another copy so I can finish it, LOL

A Giggle for you

As You Slide Down the Banister of Life, remember... 1. Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert have written an impressive new book. It's called... 'Ministers Do More Than Lay People' 2. Transvestite: A guy who likes to eat, drink, and be Mary. 3. The difference between the Pope and your boss: the Pope only expects you to kiss his ring. 4. My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it's gone. 5. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. 6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once. The seat folded up, the drink spilled, and that ice, well, it really chilled the mood. 7. It used to be only death and taxes were inevitable. Now, of course, there's shipping and handling, too. 8. A husband is someone who, after taking the trash out, gives the impression that he just cleaned the whole house. 9. My next house will have no kitchen. Just vending machines and a large trash can. 10. A blonde said, 'I was worried that my mechanic might try to rip me off. I was relieved when he told me all I needed was turn signal fluid.' 11. Definition of a teenager? God's punishment for... enjoying sex. 12. As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way.

Distress Embossing

I used Tim Holtz's Walnut distress embossing powder to stamp the image; It comes out looking like sandpaper, then I colored it in using my Close to my Heart ink and my water brush.

Holiday Planner

This is the Holiday Christmas Planner that I am working on

I made the calendar pages to where you can replace the calendars each year

I used my slot punch so I could slide the calendars under the slots

I used my print master program to make the calendars and trimmed the top and bottom so they would fit

Holiday Planner

This is a photo album that was given to me by a member of my church as a gift

This is how the inside looked,
I cut out the plastic sleeves

This page was made with a pocket for laminated gift list

Devotional

Who smiles on me when I am good?
Who loves me when I am bad?
Whose face do tears slide down when I hurt?
Or when I inflict hurt on others?
It’s not the people I work with or the people I see day to day.
I am but a passing thought to them.
Who is it who cares?
It’s the one who paid an awesome price.
For my joy, my freedom, and my salvation.
It’s the one who endured what I go through every day.
Even though he did not have to.
It’s the one who hung on the cross.
And willingly entered the gates of hell.
To snatch the keys from the hands of the evil one.
Who suffered the grave. And yet rose from that grave.
To sit at the right side of the Father of us all.
To intercede on my behalf as though I were the only one on earth.
The one who knows me inside out.
And still loves me
It’s my Savior, my Love, my Jesus!

Back yard

I took these pictures last winter sitting at my desk, looking out the sliding doors into my back yard.

When the robins came in it was very icy not at all normal for us. There were hundreds of them, they like to eat the china berries that fell off the trees and it was hilarious! The berry’s ferment and the birds were drunk they would try to land on the tree branches that were covered in ice and slide off. I enjoyed the show for a couple of months.
