STRIKE A POSE!Both of my younger sons do not like to have their picture taken, nor smile for the camera, instead they'd rather do poses, I call this their Adonis look LOL
WINTER FUNThis took me almost two weeks to finish this piece for a lottery we do in a group I'm in......yes I know that's crazy, but so much has been going on that it was only here and there that I've been able to work on it...I started out using the backside of a bingo card as the base and adding some scrap paper, a Vintage image some stamping, rub-ons, and chalk inks...finally I used my finger and spread some gesso on the bottom to look like snow and then chalk inked around that when it was dry. I also dipped a ball point pen in the gesso adding white gesso dots to give the illusion of it snowing.

Very clever - reminds me of cartoon characters that never wear proper winter clothes - just a hat - like that will protect them from the snow!

What an honor for your whole family! Congratulations to all of you. Eagle Scout is a very impressive achievement.
Of course, you already kinow I love your winter piece. Only a California girl could imagine playing in the snow in those outfits.

Hey girl! I still love that pic of Spencer with the eagle overlay. So cool. Okay, check out my blog. You've been tagged in a six-item tell something game that Carla tagged me in. Shake up those brain cells!

They won't like this, of course, but what cute boys you have! And I know what a huge achievement Eagle Scout is! Congratulations to Spencer. Remind him from me to always put this on his resume in future as it will help him with many things from getting into college to getting a new job. It isn't why he did it, of course, but its a side benefit of all the hard work he put in!

Congratulations on his achievement and yours! I have always said that the man you want to marry should have either been a boy scout or a paper carrier. If you start asking you will find that the "good ones" were one or the other!
Love the picture of your son with the eagle overlapping!
