OK, here is the way you play the game::

In your picture files, go to the 4th album, then go to the 4th picture. SHOW & TELL!

Then go down 4 more albums, go to the 4th picture, SHOW & TELL! Do this 4 more times.

Ready, set, GO!

3 Little Dancing Monkeys

I started these little guys on Tuesday night around 8:00 pm & finished them up right at 5:30 am Wednesday morning. I haven't pulled an all nighter in years. A friend of mine asked if I could make some art to go along with this darling bedding line, pop monkey. The reason I had to pull an all nighter, well silly me, last minute Larry that I am totally forgot she had asked me to do some artwork. I had planned on starting them Sunday but I was unable. Monday I started painting and the painting just looked horrible. So I had to start from scratch. Sometimes things just don't work no matter how hard I try to make them. So when I started on the paper monkey illustrations they just flowed. I was super happy. They measure 12"x12" each, and are made with cut scrapbooking paper & glue. I think they turned out not to shabby for one nights work. My husband was a little bugged that I stayed up all night to do them. He's worried about me not getting enough sleep. He does have a point. I really do need to get more rest. I hope that my friends sister in law likes these and that her little one enjoys them for years to come.

Happy Birthday Sloan!!!!!

Card from Great Grandma Swanson

Hard to believe that my little Sloanie is 9 today! I sure do love her and it is fun to watch her grow & change. I feel lucky to be her mom. Love you my little birthday girl! 

Thank you for all the prayers! She is feeling really good today. I wasn't trying to worry anyone, just felt my lack of usual posts deserved an explanation. Plus I felt it was important to share the information about aspartame poisoning. If that post even helps one person, then it's a good thing. I have some new art to post tonight. So drop on by later if you aren't too busy. Thanks again for all your concern. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
