So, it's Wednesday  and  I am going to clean camp.  Sorry folks,  no before pics,  it was THAT bad!  I put wide tape on my painting table  to protect it.  Works great, but a bear to take off and replace. At least an hour of picking and messing.  but it was done.... I say this because it was the only thing  I regretted in the chain of events that followed that.  Camp somewhat cleaned, tape replaced, sitting down to paint,  JWS walks in with the light that I have  been asking  ok nagging to have put in for a little while at least a month.  How exciting!  We get a chair and he starts.  I turn my back to clean up some more stuff  and  CRASH! This is what ensued!  JWS is only minor hurt. I am struggling holding back laughter.  Honestly,  all I can think about it how long it took to pull  that tape off of the table.   JWS thinks that he can fix that table.   Obviously,  he doesn't have the same view  tha

Found this post in the drafts from two years ago and didn't want to lose it.  Such a fun trip and such great memories.  

It started as an idea... like they all do, and then it grew... again, not unusual. Art Journals for all the grandchildren for Christmas. Can anyone tell me why those ideas don't come to me in January... or November... and anytime before Mid December.   But there it was. So off to the local Walmart for sketch books and sets of pens and markers. All age appropriate. And here I go, brainstorming.   And they are almost done. I have just a little more work and all seven eight will be done. Oh, I thought of another little person that would enjoy it.   So, want to make one of your own?  Here is my list. 1. To start, draw yourself. 2. Now draw your family. 3. Draw your favorite ornament on the tree. 4. Before the Christmas tree comes down, quick capture it here. 5. Fill each area with a different color or pattern. (squiggly lines) 6. What do your see when you look out your front door? 7. Draw something red. 8
