monday #rolodexart #altered

power went out during the night last night. woke us up because our smoke detectors are hard wired into the house, so when we lost power, the smoke detector sounded...

thought i would be smart and set my phone alarm so we could still get up on time. tried to use my snooze on my phone....and apparently i don't know how that works, or was too sleepy when the alarm went off because i did not set the snooze and we got up late anyway.......

really?!.....monday.

monday

i'm bummed that once again it is monday morning....we had a busy weekend and it seemed to go really quickly. i did get to spend some time in my studio. i have a couple of things that are "cooking" that i will have to post later. for now, i will reminiscence of studio time.....

happy monday

i was so excited to start this week- so much fun...my pictures are just lining up! i am starting with paintings that represent my family. the first is my husband and i - it will be 20 years for us this next year; and the second represents our three children and the love (bear with me here- it is sounding slightly more sappy seeing it in black and white than it did in my head...) anyway- our home and my family makes me happy- and the fact that the painting is my first "peeps" and something i consider successful (because you can tell that it is people) even better!!
