BJP November 2010

Above is my inspiration for my November BJP. And below is my finished piece 'Winter Winds' (at least I think that's what I called it). Now I have to go back and look at my label..but I think it looks like winter!

This is part of a snowflake and I just deleted one! Geeezzz...if you want to see them, just click on the larger piece above. I'm in the middle of watching Lions play and it's too hard to move pics around.

We had fun with the kids this weekend. I forgot to take pics until this a.m. Yesterday, they painted wooden frames for gifts and hopefully I'll remember to take my camera on Wed. and get pics. They also did some mono printing on paper. Amber and I made some chocolate crinkle cookies from some cookie dough her grandma Nancy had made. Amber made Christmas cookies with GN a few weekends ago. Of course kids played pool and grandpa got out two putters for the kids to practice putting on his putting pad (ok, that's what I call it!). This a.m. we made waffles, egg beaters scrambled eggs and bacon.
Then kids walked Cody, our neighbors dog and I ran outside to get a picture just as the kids were walking past the house. Amber's already down the street!
The kids dried Cody off and then went back outside to play in the snow for awhile. There's a major storm this weekend and it's still snowing @ 1:30 p.m. and is suppose to continue through the evening. Might be a snow day tomorrow for kids!




























Darrin and Grandpa are working on programming a remote. Darrin is setting up the remote for us to use so that we can get rid of 3 other remotes! One remote is enough for us to use! So that's our weekend. Darrin just called and he got home safe with the kids. I worry about the kids driving in the snow and ice!! Yes, I'm a worry wart! But that's just what mom's do!

  4. So much motion and movement. I can feel the swirling snow around me! I love the colors, everything about it.
    We are just having rain from the storm. No snow here. Weird.

    Glad you had fun with the grandchildren! Grandchildren are the best!

  7. This piece is beautiful. The snowflakes... amazing detail and shine. No need to look back at the label..it is Winter Wind... back in the post when you had us guess what you were making, I said it looked like winter wind and you said the words struck a chord with you! Perfect piece to reflect the title.

  8. Fantastic snowflakes!! I can just feel the movement in them, too. Gorgeous and perfect timing - we are getting a good bit of snow down here (Ann Arbor) today, too. Feels officially wintery now. :)
