WOOF!

I thought it wasn't fair to do a cat ICAD and not do a dog!

So here's WOOF, book page, water color, stencil, rubber stamp.

This is a sketch for a larger work I'm thinking of doing.

I wanted an old, old-fashioned nature scrapbook look and came close.

Time for a little Fun Among Friends!

Hoot!

Order of the Day

I thought I had this one finished when I found the words

Order of the Day -- perfect color.

Synchronicity!

Book page, stencil (love those wheels), magazine image and words.

The Order of the Day is to enjoy every minute.

Thanks for dropping by.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

It's Friday!

It's Friday!

A little randomness is called for! 

Thank you, Nancy!

I'm having fun eating birthday cake for breakfast!

Tea and Cake!

Speaking of my birthday,

I had a surprise from a young friend.

She didn't know my birthday was coming up when she called and said

she had an extra ticket for the ballet and was I interested.

You bet I was interested.

It had been years since I'd been to the ballet.

It brought back memories.

When we first moved to Houston, we joined everything.

We had opera tickets, ballet tickets, symphony tickets for several years --

until it seemed like operas and ballets were being repeated. 

And, by that time we had also discovered Rice University and all the wonderful

programs going on there and usually free! 

The ballet was wonderful -- three small ballets -- one classical, one modern and one a spoof.

Nice night and fun.

Teddy made a visit to the vet for another ultrasound on his heart.
I'm happy to report that there was no change in 3 months.
He's doing well on his medicine and the vet will see him again in 6 months.
The girls and I are happy and so is Teddy!

****

The Rice Owls won the regional in Oregon and are in Raleigh

for the Super-Regionals against North Carolina State. 

Can't tell you how proud I am of these young men.

Go OWLS!

It's HOT! 

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Good Morning!

WARNING!

CHOCOLATE

I decided to post my ICAD's once a week.

Here they are for June 1 - today.

I've been taking some online classes from Martha Lever and this is a good way to practice!

This is Miles. 

He is my favorite giraffe at the zoo.

He really does have a heart spot on his neck.

I found the quote on Face Book and just had to use it.

Lots of tasty sprinkles!

I got out my bits and bobs box and this is what I came up with.

I keep looking at this one and it keeps telling me it's done!

Practice, practice, practice my water drop flowers!

Today is THE Day!

THE Day when the winner of the 

Box of Curiosities 

is announced.

The winner was scientifically selected by my chief assistants.

21 small pieces of paper (numbered 1 - 21) were made,

placed in a hat, mixed up well and then thrown into the air.

And then I waited, waited to see which kitty would decide to pick the winner.

Which piece of paper would be THE toy?

Which kitty would have the honor of selecting the winner?



Drum Roll, please!

Mina picks number 4 -- Creative Dreamer!



June, please send me an email with your address and I'll get your box off to you!

A big thank you to everyone who played.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.
