Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 11:35PM The sky at sunset tonight was crazy...we had a storm come in and the colors and clouds were really interesting.
I took these photos with the Hipstamatic Camera on my Iphone. Using the Dahli DreamCanvas film, the results look more like a painting than a photo.
They make me want to paint.

I have a great dog!
We gave up not allowing her to be on the couch... I mean how can you wake THIS to get it off?

Camille has wanted her name on her Wall for years. I finally got around to keeping my promise.
When I was at Hobby Lobby this weekend, I came across these whimsical letters for a mere $2.99 each!
Any flat letter will work.
I learned how to do this years ago when I took a workshop by Donna Downey.
You will need :
Letters
Scrapbook paper
Mod Podge and sandpaper
Paint the letter with a layer of Mod podge making sure it is painted on evenly.
Lay a piece of scrapbook paper over the letter and press the paper down quickly.
I used a bone folder to smooth out any bumps from the Mod Podge. Make sure the edged are glued down.
I glued them all so they could dry while I sanded the first one.
You don't cut the paper, you sand the paper around the letter... Did that make sense?
Sand the edges until the paper sort of falls off... takes a little bit of work. lol
But with perseverance... you will eventually get this... It really doesn't take that long... just watch some Downton Abby and the time will fly by! ;)
You can sand the paper a little on the edge to give it that worn look.
The last step is to give each letter a couple or three coats of the Mod Podge. Of course let each layer dry before applying the next. :)
Now you have a set of Letters that can spell just about anything! I have some letters that I have had for years that spell CREATE. of course I have not finished them yet.. They were supposed to go into that studio I am going to have one day.
I hope this inspires someone to make their own letters. Let me know if you do ! :)

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 08:19PM When I am at Camp. In fact, I love the rain here... especially at night. Since the windows are always open you can't help but take in all the glorious smells of the rain blowing into my room. It is wonderful to lay in bed and fall asleep to the sound of rain falling and the creek flowing outside the window. My own natural sleep machine!
Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 08:51AM Once again I am in Mountains for the summer. I can't think of a better place to be. The weather is much cooler... nothing but nature all around me.. Just a piece of heaven. Photos need to be taken.. words need to be written...
Today is the 2nd day we woke up with a chill in the air. Campers come to breakfast in their footy PJ's, Sweaters and sweatshirts. They are worn until the day wakes up and layers are shed. Just the way camp should be... in the Mountains.
