Happy Thanksgiving!!


Yes, it looks good but it tasted even better! The food wasn't even all on the table when this picture was taken. We have enough turkey left to last us the rest of the year. Anyhow, after we ate dad hit the couch like always. *sigh of contentedness*

Mischievous Deed


I found this video and thought that I would share 'cause its hilarious. This is what I did after I past my drivers test. The video is dark but if you listen to it I'll explain. Well we went to Catt county's got talent and then to McDonald's for food. We got talking and ended up with the question ' can you get Burger King crowns at the drive through?' Yes you can. The crowns come in sets of two and there were three of us, so the very nice lady at the window gave us two sets. We had an extra crown. We went back to McDonald's and sat in the parking lot and tried to think of what to do with the extra crown. We contemplated about placing it right outside the door of McDonald's but my friend works there and she didn't want to be fired. We then drove to Subway ( none of us work there, and it was closed anyway). The video is of us jumping out of the car, running, and putting the crown in front of Subway's door. I drove the getaway car. We felt so mischievous.

Next Step

This is my painting. I just put the stems in yesterday. I have to put the flowers in and do some shadowing, trust me its harder than it sounds. So far I like it, its different than the other ones that I've done. I am doing this set of paintings for a lady who had an empty wall. My dead line was last summer, not that I'm a slow worker or anything, its just that I don't work. Well I shouldn't say don't work, I work all the time. That is my problem, I have too many things going on at one time. And pleasure painting gets put to the back of the burner. Work (paying work) was slow this week so I had some time to kill.


P.S. My Birthday is on Sunday!!

Working On...

Other than the power being out most of this morning 'cause of snow,not too much is happening right now. So here are some pics of some of the things that I am working on (in the art department).This one is a tattoo that a friend asked me to help him with, I think that it's cool. He gave me his sketch and asked me to add some artisticness. That is what I came up with. I'm Hoping he likes it.
This one is hard to tell what it is, but it is the background of the fourth paint in a set of four. I finely found my style( it just took me three other paintings to do so), a lot of brush dabbing, over dramatic hand gestures, and several random outbursts of "Ahh Ha" and "Its Perfect". It seems to work for me. There is going to be a large Queen Ann's Lace over top of this mass of green. I'll post more pic of it later.

Here To Stay

This is not going to go away! It is supposed to stay cold and continue snowing for a rather long time. This snow came in pretty much one night, and it has snowed all day. Samantha measured it this morning as 19 inches, I'm sure its more now.
Snow, snow go away, don't come back another day....
It won't.....it hates me!

Hello There...

Me and my mother are planing a road rally for our home school group. A treacherous 60 some miles of back road country, over the hills and through the woods. We are going to have questions about the route, fill in the blank, pictures of thing that they have to find, and tasks that must be completed before you are allowed to finish. It will be fun. Anyway we were out driving the route the other day ( I can't tell you where we were driving because that would give it all away.) and we were almost at the top when we notice that there was a cow in the middle of the road. It was a small road and a large cow so we couldn't go around her, we had to stop. She seemed perfectly happy to be in the road and wasn't in any hurry to move. There were two very very large horses that were taller than our van ( no joke) watching her closely from the inside of the fence. I sure that she ( the cow) was rubbing it in their faces...I'm out and your not...sucks to be you....

I beeped the horn at her, she gave a little jump and move to the side of the road. We had plenty of room to get past but we remained in park. We both had our phones out taking pictures... not like we've never seen a cow before. After we didn't move she went back in the middle of the road. LOL!!

Halloween

We, here at my house don't do Halloween but every year we go to a friends house for a cookout. We sit around and help pass out their candy. Most years we watch an old scary movie like: The Fly, Teenagers From Outer Space, everything that is plan stupid just so we can have a good laugh. However, we didn't do that this year so it wasn't quiet as entertaining. The way we dress up is we pick things that you don't have to dress up to be. Things like the visible women, a pedestrian, the commoner, an Innocent bystander, retired brain surgeon, and this year I was a parapalegic. I never personally saw the man dressed as a woopie cushion, but I think he won the best costume. I'm beginning to think that Halloween is a stupid holiday. What is the point? Candy...yes, but you have no idea where that candy has been. And you would never be caught dead dressed like whatever crazy thing you are any other day of the year. Its just silly.
