Good Sunshiny Morning!!

Well it's been another one of those crazy weeks... busy and I really couldn't think of a thing to say...lol.. scary thought...but true.. I worked 3 days in a row.. very hard on this old body.. and spent yesterday cleaning house and chucking things.. very refreshing... and a little art... I have finished my pages in Nicola's book for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sketch Book.. you won't see my thoughts page.. still have to put that in... now this is not what I started out thinking I was going to do.. but when I read this poem.. it all changed...hope she likes it....this is the first stamping I have done in what seems like forever... was so much fun...
If you want to see what everyone is up to.. check out the link above.. I feel so honored to be a part of this great group of ladies... so artistic.. going to be so much fun to see all their art work in my book...
Vickie over at Paintspots and Splinters is having a fab giveaway.. Such beautiful items... she is so talented.. personally I love the Summer blocks... so head over and enter to win...
Barb over at Barb's Heartstrokes is having a fab giveaway too.. One of her great paintings on screen.. you will love it..  she does such fantastic paintings on window screening.. draw date is the 15th so you'd better hurry!!!
Now there's only 1 day left to go and vote on this..cut off date is the 11th.. (this is what happens when you don't blog for a long time..lol) This is the OFG's Flag Day Appreciation Challenge.. Take a look at all the wonderful pieces that some of the members have put up.. vote and on the 12th a winner will be chosen will be chosen from the comments.....so hurry, hurry.. you don't want to miss this!!
Chaya is coming out for a few days on saturday.. so excited.. we will have so much fun.. so won't be alot of computer or art time.. although I did find some cute things that I think she could paint.. and I think we might be ready for acrylics.. she really has stopped putting her brush in her mouth...lol We shall see!!
Are you a gingerbread collector or know someone who is? cuz if you are.. you have to check out Susan from Sawdust Brushstrokes and Stitches Ebay auctions..here's the auction for her Gingerbread Tea Kettle... it's adorable.. and then she has this awesome Ginger Chalkboard painted on a fan blade.. too cool....
Melinda over at Inspiration Earth.. awarded me a Versatile blogger award..I am very honored that she picked me... but need more time to gather some thoughts together for this.. and this post has gone on long enough...lol I should really get going and get something done...
We have had 3 days of sun.. yes it's on the cool side but.. it is sooooo much nicer than rain.. keep your fingers crossed that the weatherman is fibbing.. they are saying storms and rain all next week .. starting sunday night.. bah! can't be true....lol
Have a loverly weekend... Thanks for stopping by .. I so appreciate it!!!
