Just Around the Corner

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? I was talking with someone yesterday who said she was just about done with her Christmas shopping. You're kidding me right? That would be a great goal, to get it all done before Thanksgiving. Yeah, like that is really going to happen. It would sure make December stress free. Well, maybe a could at least start in November.

These two projects are made from Creative Imaginations paper and chipboard stickers. They are on display at the Red Bee.

Another Biggest Loser post. I am now in 1st place. I have lost 15 lbs. Just 4 more weeks to go.

Cabin View

Last post for today.... a view from my parent's cabin in Idylwild, CA. We had a great time, went for a nice walk and.... Henry has another coyote story to tell.

LACMA

Took a fieldtrip to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with my Jr. Highers. We had a wonderful "Art of the Modern World" tour and had lunch at the L.A. Farmer's Market. The docent said nice things about my students, and thought they were very insightful.

Okay, so I've been busy and haven't posted in a while. Well, I have pictures to prove it and lots of inspiration for future blogging. Hope you are busy with lots of creativity and fun life stuff. This is a roughdraft of a page of a book that I want to write. Okay, I said it out loud. Thats a good thing. I went to the mountains for the last couple of days and did some drawing while I was up there. On the way home, I really thought about this book that I have been thinking about for years and I came home and started sketching. I think it just might happen.
Wrapped Christmas presents for a swap, almost finished with that. And....

a few other creative things in progress. What are you working on? Any book publishing tips?

well I have been working on some swap projects for Christmas, but I can't show them because they are Christmas presents and they need to get wrapped. Been busy otherwise with kids and sports and things so not much art to show of lately. Things are going to slow down here in a couple of weeks. Then we'll ramp things up again for the holidays. Happy November and Happy Super Tuesday to you tomorrow. Hope the polls aren't too crowded, and the wait not long.

Okay, so I didn't take too many pics of the holiday but I did get a few of Joe Jonas, I mean Emma in her Joe Jonas costume. We had fun carving pumpkins at the Greene's house Thursday. Happy November and daylight savings time day. More art to post tomorrow as I am going to the Red Bee with Maureen.
