Subway Art - Yes, I Made One Too

I have been coveting everyone else's subway art online in etsy stores and blogs for some time now, and always felt I could make one! I finally did it! I love the finished product and I cannot wait to make some more. This is 12 by 24, I think. I'm going to try black lettering with white background too. I have so many ideas that can be done, it's kind of overwhelming. That's usually when I quit doing things because I can't stand all the stress that being creative gives me! :)

I Heart Faces - May Flowers

This week's challenge on I Heart Faces (a photography website) is MAY FLOWERS. And while I am NO green thumb at all, I do plant something in our pots once a year and enjoy them until they die a slow, agonizing death due to neglect. :( Anyway, I really love the sweet potato vines and I am pretty sure the purple flowers are just pansies.

Mother's Day 2011

This weekend was Mother's Day weekend, plus it was Tom's 40th birthday on Friday! So lots to celebrate. We had a get-together on Saturday evening with some friends for Tom's birthday and then a very low-key day yesterday for Mother's Day. Of course I did insist upon a photo shoot, which went pretty well. I did bribe Jackson with Marble Slab ice cream, but I say whatever works, use it!

**********************************

Tom got me a clicker thingy so we could take pictures via remote control. So I set the tripod up, got the settings like I wanted, and we were able to take some family pictures! Pretty cool. Jackson loved the clicker thingy.

My beautiful boy on Mother's Day!

Random side note, this is the semi-finished chair I've worked here and there on. I hope to finish it within the week and move on to something else! But you get the idea of the finished product from this picture...

We've been staying busy with work, soccer, beginning of summer things. I am hoping to get someone in here to paint the living room within the month. Then after that, I'm wanting to start pricing granite countertops. It's always something!
