Father's Day

The kids came over the evening of Father's Day. The guys cooked steaks on the grill. Vanessa is trying to get Korin to call me by my grandmother name "Savtah". She is 21 months.

Have a good one!

Jam Session

The kids had a musical "jam" session. Kennedy is not really playing. The keyboard has a set pre-recorded song but it sounds like she is! Have a good one!

Still Beauty Amidst the Heat

As I mentioned in the last post the heat has arrived and is oppressive. These pictures were taken June 18th.

The mornings are the coolest but even though the temp is in the upper 70's the humidity is higher then!

Regardless of the weather my 4 legged babies need to eat. I have been going much later in the evening because it's so hot!

These yellow beauties are in several places along the fence line.

These I pass on the road on the way to and from feeding. They are just so pretty! And the bright yellow color just makes me smile :)

Driving along the pasture fence I saw this scissor-tail.











A beautiful moon. Although it appears full it's not. It was full a couple of days later.

Spied this dragonfly on the door to the feed room.

Fancy getting a big drink of water. If you look closely you can see sweat lines on her face.

She cracks me up how she lets water dribble from her mouth.

Have a good one!

Gift for Doyle

I actually meant to include this with the Father's Day cards as it was a gift that I gave Doyle for Father's Day.

Funny thing...I had the idea for this project MONTHS ago.  I had a picture in my mind how I thought it would look. I had penciled it out but it got shuffled out of sight and I had forgot about it. As Father's Day approached, I decided I would try to finish it.

I used colored pencils to color in the writing. The paper I used was art paper and it is 9 x 12. An odd size for a frame. I could get an 8x10 or a 11 x 14 frame so I improvised using scrapbook paper to mat with.

I think Doyle was pleased.

Have a good one!

Cards for Father's Day

I have done some crafting. Summer has arrived and so has the heat. Last week our temps were only in the low to mid 90's but the humidity was so high that our heat index was in the triple digits! It was extremely uncomfortable outdoors. Makes for perfect crafting weather!

This is a Father'd Day card I made for my dad.

I made this one for Keannon. I colored the image with my Copic markers then cut it out and put foam tape behind it to give it dimension.

This card I made for my husband Doyle. He is an avid coffee drinker. I created the sentiment using my Just Rite Alpha stamps. The coffee cup is a stamp set from Unity. I colored the image with my Copic Markers. I used glossy accents to enhance the steam off the coffee. I cut out the image then added foam tape for dimension.





Have a good one!

Kashton vs Weeds

May 15, 2016
I found this rather humerous of Kashton kicking weeds.
