SwEeT hEaRt


Today Maddie says "Where's daddy? I miss him." I tell her "Daddy is at work he'll be home later today for dinner." Maddie gently rubs my arm and says "Don't be sad Momma." She has such a sweet heart.

Jon came home from New York on Friday. We camped out in the tent in the backyard. Maddie had a blast. Saturday we just hung around the house. Wagon rides, walks, flower picking. Later in the afternoon we went to the church picnic. Sunday was church, long afternoon nap, playing in the tent, groceries. Dad leaves for New Jersey on Tuesday.

If you haven't been over to The Altered Page lately then head over and see my answer to today's question:
Show and Tell.
SHOW us one photograph of the object or objects that you collect and TELL us how your collection(s) came to be and/or what they mean to you. Feel free to include any anecdote about how you might have found/bought any of your treasures.

Keep watching for more questions and check my answers along with MANY other artists in Seth's edition of The Pulse.

I aM pArTiCiPaTiNg



I recently participated in a survey
(in which I feel HONORED!) over at The Altered Page featuring artists that you may recognize - Teesha Moore, Angela Cartwright,
Julie Prichard, Sarah Fishburn, Nina Bagley, Kelly Kilmer, and Linda Woods.
There are 80-plus artists (and counting) that are participating in The Pulse. Join The Altered Page on Monday August 18Th for the third edition of The Pulse: an artist survey. This month long project will introduce you to new artists, help you get to know familiar faces even more, and allow you access into the creative hearts and minds of a very talented crew of individuals.

For this edition of The Pulse, Seth is considering offering for sale a printed zine to present the results of the survey on paper. Head over to The Altered Page for more details if you are interested. And check back there often to watch for my answers to the survey!!

It is a tradition at our house that when Brittany comes for a visit we get Chinese food the first night. Doesn't this look fantastic? We went for the buffet not realizing that they only do that for lunch but the food was wonderful all the same.

Britt give the food a thumbs up!!


Dad looks quite happy as well...


Maddie is eating as fast as dad can cool it off!!


SISTERS!!! Maddie misses her sissy Britty already!! Brittany leaves for the Marines boot camp in Parris Island, SC August 25th. I already miss her too!!
