Show...Tell and Chat!!!



Had to share this spectacular sunrise!  Wow!  Looked like the horizon was on fire.  And it was cold...cold...cold.  Froze my you-know-what off taking these shots.  Anywho...it was worth it!

Doll/craft show last night.  First one of the season!  It was hosted by Nancy at her home up here in the East Mountains.  Beautiful home and she had it decked out for Halloween.  So cool!  Creepy crawlies everywhere and great sound effects.



Several artisans where there.  A lotion lady, jewelry, soaps, tasty treats, glass, Scentsy and my dolls.  Fun time.  Lots of good food too!!  She hosts this every year and it is called a Sip and Shop!  Plenty of wine and beer too!  I had one and one-half glasses of wine and got tipsy.  Ha!  Had to sit for awhile and recoup!

Cheri's Gems



sweet smelling soaps

Margaret's Potions

Nancy's Fused glass creations

The atmosphere was fantastic and good fellowship was had by all!  But it rained and no one came. Well, a few showed up but mostly we ate and chatted amongst ourselves.  No early Christmas shoppers wanted to brave the weather.  Up here in the mountains, roads can get a little tricky during the rain...so...!  Bunch of woosies!!  But we had a fun time and Dr. John got some of his favorite.  Green chili stew and he loved it.  As well as the cookies and brownies and Blue Moon Beer!  He had no complaints!  Ha!

More sunrise photos!!





Thanks for visiting!!  I really do appreciate your taking time to stop by and leave comments.  It truly makes my day.  Dr. John enjoys it as well!!

Have a magical and blessed day!
Hugging you

Random Tuesday....I stand corrected!!!



Yes!  I do stand corrected as well as other art scholars!!  Color can be the subject matter; especially if it is glorious fall!!






See what I mean?  Wow!!  Went hiking up at Fourth of July Canyon and it is so awesome.  I have tons more pics; but I will share them later!!

Added to the Fall/Halloween tree!  Had to share!!




Still hard at work on babies!!  Have a mini show this Thursday!  Yikes!  But it sounds fun.  She calls it, Sip and Chat!  Starts at 4PM.  There are only 6 vendors and she provides wine, cheese and desserts.  Oops!  I just remembered!  I need to bring something to share!  Sheesh!  Anyway....here are the newest babes!
Warning!  For the strong of heart and mind only!!!!!




The pale one will be  red-head!  The other one I haven't decided yet...most likely a brunette.  Maybe dark brown?  Anyway, I doubt I get these ready by Thursday; but we will see.

I forgot to draw a name for the giveaway!  Oops!  I don't like being too busy and I am right now.  I will draw the name tomorrow and post the winner!  That print is so fabulous...can't wait to see who will win!  I know!  You can't either!  Sorry!!!!

I have some fabulous news!  We are so excited here and doing the happy dance.  Dr. John has been working on a book over the past year.  It is about Geotechnical Engineering, of course!  Anyway....he submitted it to John Wiley and Sons and they love it and are going to publish it!!!  PUBLISH IT!!!!  Woot!!  Woot!!

So cool!  Dr. John has a lot of work yet to do on this book.  His deadline is March 31st.  And we are so thrilled.  I am busting with pride for him!  Good work, Dr. John!!!!!!  Love you!!!

I finally got my suitcase unpacked and the laundry done from my trip to Ohio.  Boy does that take some effort.  Why is that??  Plus, I brought back more than I took!!  Sigh!  Mom kept saying, "Oh!  You must take this!"  Geez Mom!!  Anyway, the suitcase is now put away and I am ready for the next trip. 

There are several places I would like to go next year.  Paris in the spring!  Las Vegas and take a class with Jack Johnson.  On that trip, I would take my two granddaughters, Emma and Georgia.  We would take a class on sculpting clay babies!  Sounds to fun!!  Then I would like to go to Corpus Christi, Texas and spend a couple of weeks on the beach.  It has been years since I have seen a decent sized body of water.  Add a beach to that and I am in heaven.




Sigh!  Be still my heart!  And Paris in the spring!!??



And of course, last but not least...Las Vegas!!!



The city of neon lights!!  I don't think the girls have ever been here...so it will be so cool for them and for me!  Plus, we will be in a class teaching sculpture as well.  What fun!!

I guess I have Randomed you all enough.  Don't forget to stop by and visit The UnMom and see the Randomizing that goes on over there and all over blogdom!! 

Have a magical and blessed day!

Altered Images!

Just thought I would share some altered images I have been working on. These are digitally altered!  I used stitching and layering as well as color balance and texture tools. 

I love playing digitally!





The image of the female is from Gail Schmidt of Mind Wide Open Fame.  (Shabby Cottage...link on side bar)  She has a great shop with lots of goodies for mixed media artist!

Thanks for stopping by and viewing my images!

Have a magical and blessed day!!
Tomorrow is Random Tuesday...so stop back!

Silent Saturday ~ Part Thirty-Six!!!



Several months ago, my middle brother came out to visit!!  I didn't get a chance to see him when I went to Ohio and I miss him.  So I thought today would be the perfect day to share these photos of his visit here.  New Mexico, seen through his eyes! 




My brother, Gary!








Hope you enjoyed this edition of Silent Saturday and meeting my middle brother, Gary! 





As seen through my eyes!

Have a magical and blessed day!
