Altered Mermaid

For Therese. So this is how Therese's mermaid looks now. She was all cream before. I should of taken a picture of it before I spray painted it all black. And I probably should of taken a picture of that as well.

Therese wanted this mermaid figurine painted to coordinate better with a framed print she has of a sea turtle on her boat. So I hope she likes how she has turned out. We've been playing phone tag for about a week now. I know she has been busy with getting the boat ready for the summer with her husband, continuing therapy on her arm and taking care of her Mom.

So either we'll see each other first or she'll see this blog first.

What A Wonderful Weekend

Well, it has been a whirl wind weekend actually. I thought I would be home by 9 PM tonight but we just got home around 10 PM. After Service this morning we took the visiting Elder and his family out to lunch. Then ran home to get ready for a graduation open house party. Great food great fun. Some signed up to sing Karaoke (not me) and dancing. Today is our 9Th Anniversary. We knew there was no way we would be able to do anything special with all the other activities we wanted to do. So we celebrated yesterday. Keeping it very simple a dinner and a movie. Actually we went to the movie first.We went to see Star Trek. We really enjoyed this movie. My hands were sweating most of the time. We hadn't been to the movies since King Kong and our car was broken into. Then my DH took me to one of our favorite restaurants called Castaways. Looks out onto Lake Nepesing. We had an amazing dinner and we went home very content and happy. On Friday evening we went to Applebee's for dinner. You could say we started early celebrating since friends of ours had surprised us last week by giving us an early anniversary present with a card and a gift card enclosed to...you guessed it Applebee's. Yeah A no cooking weekend.

Dream in Color

Dorothy and I made a ribbon flowers yesterday. After we had them assembled we could see that the centers needed something. She got out a box of miscellaneous jewelry bits where we found the perfect centers for our flowers. They were just the right pieces of bling. Thanks Dorothy. We had too much fun making these little cuties.


Today it was a slow morning getting started so I thought I'd make a digital something. I blocked off an hours worth of time. Since I had a bridal shower to go to in a few hours and I needed time to get ready for that. So I scanned the ribbon flower I made yesterday into my computer and cleared off the bacground. Now they are her earrings in this digital collage. Other digital collage images are from Art-e-ology and Itkupilli.
I didn't have my glasses on and I see I have to go make and clean up the image.
