My cousin recommended a site to me called Colour Lovers. It is so amazing. It is basically a social networking site, but with a twist. You get to make art on it. It is all about color, color palettes and making patterns with those palettes. It is really addicting, so you are warned! This is my favorite palette I have… Read more →
I went to Oregon to visit my Aunts for a week and then to Washington to visit my best friend and her family for 2 weeks. It was wonderful! It took me for EVER to get the pictures uploaded, but I think I got some really great shots.A lot of art inspiration! These rocks just tickled me. They were gorgeous!… Read more →
A friend and I went to the Dallas Arboretum for her Birthday, and just had a ball. I had never been, and it is so beautiful. I took lots of pictures.I like the flower pictures, one for their beauty, and two because they give me ideas for jewelry. I am a bead artist, you can see some of my work… Read more →
I posted this in an attempt to get it entered in a photo contest for Wired Magazine. The contest was titled “Squares”. I could not get the photo to show up on the voting page, so no luck! Read more →
Here are more pictures from the same trip to the Kimbell Art Museum. I love this statue in the open air eating area. She is so relaxing to look at. Great food there too, although it can not compare to the food at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. I had one of the best meals of my life… Read more →

This is in Fort Worth, somewhere… It was taken from the bus window on the way to the Kimbell Art Museum. I can not tell you where exactly, I do not know the area well enough. I… Read more →
Boy do you miss electricity when you do not have it! The long absence of new posts was due to lack of power. We had a big storm that felled a very big tree that took three utility polls with it. We had no power for two days, and it was hot! The poor kitties do not enjoy power outages.… Read more →
All right, so this is a little redundant, but the two journal spreads turned out so different, and I like them both. I had done this spread in my latest journal, no title yet, and liked how it turned out, so I thought I would share with my Dad, and did a spread in his (see post from 6/2/08). I… Read more →
I have been playing with Photoshop Elements. I loved this photo. It was taken at a beach where there is no collecting allowed. My little friend and I really liked these rocks, and wanted some way of taking them with us. Unfortunately the photo turned out blurry. For some reason, I think maybe the strong light at the beach, I… Read more →
Edward T. Bear is the ruler of our house. He rules with a kind, but very firm paw. We got him when he was 3 weeks old. The day he was let out of confinement (for health and safety) he weighed less than a pound, and he chased our then alpha male cat who outweighed him by 12 or 13… Read more →
