Last week I took a canvas class taught by my super talented friend Lynne. I have looked at projects such as this one and thought "I'd love to make that.....but I can't." Well, let me tell you....I CAN make projects like "that". I had such a great time that night!! Messy hands=fun times!!!
And here's my finished canvas. I am SO proud of this piece of art! I can't wait to make another one!
Every Sunday night, we have tea (dinner) with our friends Tony and Kelsey. It was our turn to provide tea so we thought we'd do something a little different. We took a picnic tea on a hike to Tunnel Beach. As we are sitting on top of a cliff eating tea, I just had to pinch myself. "Yeah, I LIVE here!" Its been over 9 months and I still haven't gotten over that. And honestly, I hope I never get over it. I love it here!
I did get a layout finished last night after a day spent mowing, weeding, and washing bedding. I was happy to get this one moved off my desk. The Tuesday Sketch gals at Frosted Designs had a great sketch so I thought I'd play along with them. You can find the sketch here. Come along and play with us!
When we visited my brother and his family in Las Vegas, we played at this local park. Aron wanted me to get this jump on film so he kept jumping and jumping and jumping! I kept taking pictures until he was satisfied with the shots I got. I was pretty happy with them too. :)
Oh, and just for fun....Aden lost a tooth last night! Actually he pulled it 45 minutes after he was suppose to be alseep. :) He's so cute with that hole right in front. I'm hoping he loses the one next to it before the adult tooth comes in. I love that gaping hole in the front! Sooo cute!!
Can you do it....Yes you DID!!!! It's even more amazing irl.

This LO is fantastic! I love how everything pops off the black background. This pics are wonderful as well.
