Play and Dabble in the Arts!

I have found it's much more fun to make one large background for a number of ATC cards than trying to do each one individually.  Each card is still different from all others and had painted.

Artist Trading Cards are fun to make and trade too.  They are perfect to include in a Christmas card as well.  Everyone enjoys receiving a gift!


I couldn't add the much shorter "part two" to the original so had to make two videos.  Hope you enjoy!!










This summer we visited some magnificent cemeteries looking for family. 
I was astounded at some of the beautiful markers.

I, for one, love visiting grave sites even if I don't know anyone there. I also find that they are a great place to find lovely shadows!

Beautiful post Jeannie Marie and I appreciated your kind and wisdom filled words at my blog too. It is always lovely to visit friends here. I enjoyed these photos, graves are always very interesting to visit, I visit my phamily plots when I travel home. My great grandfather is buried at our hometown local cemetery and his grave has been sinking. He passed away in 1938 if I recall. His headstone is written in Slovenian. My daughter's friend attended law school in MA. and she lived near a famous cemetery where the likes of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Paul Revere were buried. I am praying for America. We truly are at a crossroads.
I love your journal video. I just don't know where to start with making a journal. I have a ton of crafting supplies. ANy ideas? What kind of journal do you start with?

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
