Go Ahead and Smile

 You know you are somebody´s reason to smile don´t you.....

 It is always a good thing to bring a smile to somebody´s face.

 It makes life that much more enjoyable.

These are some of the birthday cards I made for October.  I know a lot of  people who had

their birthday´s in October.....

Are you an October baby?

I am a January girl myself.....what month were you born in?

On My Kitchen Counter II

as I was getting ready to boil some eggs 

and they were sitting on the kitchen counter in front of the window

I had to snap the reflection of the window on the water surface and on the wet eggs,,,,then I made some

great tasting egg salad.

All Wrapped Up

All wrapped up....a present for a friend.

The card is backed with some of my handpainted paper.

This time with oil pastel. 

I love pink and orange together...so I went a bit overboard didn´t I.

Hope you are well and enjoying your summer!

Under the Covers

I know you know that feeling when in the middle of the night

something goes bump.....

I went to look. 

 whew....

what a relief!

It was just Lars.  He thinks he owns the joint.

I turned on the lights.

Something was fishy though.

I felt like he was trying to hide something from me and he looked 

really guilty.

I knew something was up so I thought I better have a look

under the covers.

SURE ENOUGH!!

Caught red handed. 

My bookcase is always a mess.

Now I know why.

I thought he´d atleast be reading about his true love Goldilocks

but instead he is reading up on watercolors.

Smart bear!!

If you love watercolors and painting as much as Lars does then 

stay tuned.

Lars is sponsoring an autumn giveaway of some art magazines and

an art book. You won´t want to miss it.

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

Lars just told me he wants to throw in some German chocolate too.

Watch for it this week.
