Paintings

The first painting I did with some instruction. This second one, I made Into a birthday card for my auntie…..I’m learning the rules of painting, lol. I learned that “Light is on the right”……for shading purposes. I’ll post some of my art again. Goodnight my lovelies!

Football

Both teams I rooted for today, won. I love the Chiefs. So, it will be Philly and Kansas City at the Super Bowl. If Kansas City wins, it will be a record of 3 Super Bowl wins in a row! We have a standing invite to a friends place, but I want to stay home this year and cook appetizers for food. I invited a friend but she already had plans…..I get I to the games….i whoop and holler…it’s fun!

Cards

Today I hand made 10 cards. 9 valentine cards and one for my swap group. Now I’m finished with my February swap cards. I went Valentine shopping for the grandkids today. They are teenagers, but who doesn’t like yummy treats from their Nawna and Poppy?

Lofty Day

Today I’m going to spend the day in my loft, which is where I craft. I have a swap card to make, valentine cards to make and a few birthday cards too…..I’m going to be a busy bee. My husband is down in the shop getting the wood stove going. My loft is in our pole building/shop/garage. I really enjoy going in there, but it’s difficult cause it’s cold. Hubby goes back to work in a week or so, then I won’t have any fires hardly until a weekend. I have too hard of a time trying to get the fire going. Sometimes I can KEEP it going if it’s already been going for awhile…….gonna go get myself together and head on down there. Have a GREAT day!

My Hobbys

I have a few things I do all the time and then things I do every once in awhile. I love scrapbooking. I have made quite a few books. Usually photos from trips, or photos when family comes to see us…..and special occasions……for example, I did my husband any my 10th wedding anniversary, a 30 year class reunion, and others. I also make greeting cards. I use a scrapbooking machine for most of it. I belong to a card swapping group and that keeps me busy making cards, plus I make all friends and family birthday cards and other special occasion cards. Then, I also paint, do mixed media, mosaic, and diamond paintings……I also make all my Christmas cards, around 50 of them.

What’s your dream job?

I wish I had had a mathematical mind. My dream job was an architect. I love houses of all kinds. I go online very day and just look at houses all day. When I was a child, I used to take white paper and draw house designs. Yes, being an architect would have been the perfect job for me…..

surgery

My husband has surgery tomorrow. He has a tumor up in his sinus cavities….its large but benign, thank goodness. I’m sorry I’ve been neglectful of my blog. Life just happens. I haven’t been in the greatest of moods, but I’m trying. I will be home taking care of him for 1-2 weeks…..
