Wyoming

 Hallo,
   One more day in Nebraska and then back to my Hubby and my pups and my nice soft bed!!!
   Finally uploaded pics from my camera and did some editing last night so here is the first batch from Wyoming.
   Paula and Cortney and Collin at a high point look out the day we went to the hot springs.
  A couple pics from the "short, easy" 2.5 hour, no path, hike my brother Chris took us on to see the ponds up the mountain from his cabins.
  And the last few from another 'short easy hike' the next day - not much shorter but easier and even a narrow path to follow - went to some cabins way out in nowhere that are pretty well stocked - folks who stay there are allowed to use anything but encouraged to leave something behind and restock for the next person - there was a good stock of wood for the firepit and woodburner in the cabin, axes, kerosene lanterns, food, linens and blankets for the beds and games and magazines too. There is a creek running through the camp that had pools built into it to keep foods cold (the water is snow runoff so very cold) - and they have lots of hummingbirds around too. Pretty cool place!!!
  The last 2 pics were taken the morning we left - ice covered by snow on the mountain - down to about 7000 feet - but my brother said most of it was gone by noon. Made for a pretty wake up to start the drive home.
  All for today - gotta get my suitcase stuffed back together and a cooler packed from Grandma/pa's garden to take to Lincoln today - am staying the night with Paula and she gets to take me to the airport in the am......
   Take Care

Handsome knights

Hallo,
   Hot, Hot, Hot......man this is getting old and boy does it feel good to walk into the AC after taking the pups for a walk.....
  Speaking of hot - how about this image from Teresa Sherman called 'Dashing Knight' - he's kinda hot himself dontcha think!!!
  I colored up 2 versions as I often do - used prismacolor and polychrome pencils.
  I layered the main image to a gold shimmery cardstock and edged both layers with gold metallic pen and then added some gold corner stickers.
  I used cool grays on the armor in the front, along with some copper and the armor in the back I used warm grays and touches of gold on the chain mail.
  All for today - determined to get some time to play in my studio today....

Gorgeous Guinevere

Hallo,
  Well it has been crazy busy for me lately - one kiddo back off to school in Tallahassee and my DD and I leave on Thursday am to drive her back to college.
  I am in the process of switching jobs which is always fun - change is a good thing even if it has to knock you upside the head to effect the change.....
  And it has been HOT and HUMID here in NW Florida - the other morning at 715 am when we took the pups for a walk it was already a heat index of 100 degree's - I am so looking forward to a few days in Wyoming at my brothers place in the mountains - cool and low humidity - It will be hard to come back to the heat!!!
   Two more cards in my reading card set that I am doing - 2 versions of the same image by Teresa Sherman at Sweet Pea Stamps. She is called 'Gorgeous Guinevere'.
  I colored both versions with prismacolor and polychrome pencils.
  I layered the main image to a shimmery gold cardstock and edged both layers with gold metallic pen and then added some gold stickers too.
     All for today - at least 3 or 4 things I should be doing.....now all I need is the energy and motivation to do them.....
   Take Care!!!!

Locker hook for Mom

 Hallo,
   I finished off a rug for my Mom today for her Birthday. She wanted one just like the one I made for my son so she already knows what it looks like :)
  My puppy Duke seems to approve - Kyna was too busy watching for killer squirrels (she doesn't like having her picture taken anyway :)
  All for today - trying to get back in the swing of things  - lots of stress around me lately......sigh......but now I have some time off and will recoup a bit.
  Take Care
