Just some random pics from yesterdays festivities. Getting things cleaned up around here and getting in the Christmas craft mood. Can't believe it's that time of year again.

Happy Thanksgiving

So good to be back in blogland. We have been living out of the trailer for a few days. We had our house fumigated, and got to get back in yesterday, but it was still a little smelly and our eyes burned, so we spent one more night in the trailer. We are airing things out again today, so glad I am not hosting Thanksgiving dinner here. We had a great time in the desert, and left just before the storm came in, though it's been raining here for the last 2 days. Looking forward to using my new markers and pencils, maybe I'll find some time when things settle back down. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you have a great one with family and friends.

Just was looking through some pics from last Thanksgiving, and it looks like it will be more of the same this year. I love being able to get out to the desert and camp with friends and ride the quads. Emma and Preston have already left, hence some time to blog and go blog visiting. Also shown, my colection of atcs (artist trading cards) with Roc's on the top.

A Jewish man from Krakow, Poland came to our school today to tell his story about how he survived the holocaust. His story was amazing. He worked in Shindler's factory as a young teen and was on Shindler's list.

I have no problems today. I have it so good. Thank you God.

The Art Lesson

This is the perfect time of year to read this book. I think it's my favorite children's book. Tommy wants to be an artist when he grows up, but Mrs. Larson won't let him use his box of 64 crayola crayons. He ends up drawing a Pilgrim couple and a turkey and his art teacher. I think that is why I love this book.

Anticipation

I decided that I needed a good set of markers and colored pencils so I splurged and got some primacolors. Can't wait to use them, but I don't want to use them til I have enough uninterrupted time to sit down and draw for a good while. Don't know if that is going to happen soon, so I am just anticipating how much fun it will be.

Big Weekend

Some progress on my book, I am in the process of getting some prisma markers so that I can continue.


and....Emma had two seasons end this weekend. Calvary Elementary Girls Basketball won the Championship and went undefeated all season, and Emma caught 4 softball games. Tustin 12U-A went to the semi finals. Good job girls. Way to go Emma.
