Days 11 - 17

I've gotten a bit behind in posting my photos - I have been taking them, I just haven't been good about getting them onto the blog. So here are Days 11 -17's prompts.

Day 11 - Something Fun

This is a little votive holder that I bought and have in my scraproom, just because it was fun to look at!

Day 12 - Close Up

This a close up of the hens & chicks in my Day 7 photo of the day.

Day 13 - From a Distance

I took this picture with my iPad, and it didn't get the mountain I was trying to get, but I guess the boats are at a distance, so I'm just going with it.


Day 14 - Flowers

These are the gorgeous flower baskets that are all around Kingston - these are down at the Marina.

Day 15 - My Shoes

Pretty much my everyday wear, my Nike flip flops. LOVE them!

Day 16 - What I ate

Not really food, but this is what I had for lunch, a frozen lemonade from Mickey D's. Yummo!

Day 17 - On the Shelf

The books on my shelf in the bedroom.

I admit that I am not being very artistic or creative when it comes to these prompts. But I am getting them done - which is HUGE!

Day 10

Prompt for Today - something I made. So today I go old school, very old school, very old vacation bible school to be exact! I made this around 1975 in vacation bible school, I am amazed that it is still in pretty good shape.

Day 9

Prompt for the day - Faceless Self-Portrait. So you get my feet. As a general rule, I hate feet, but I love socks! This is my current favorite pair of fuzzy socks, although I generally have to fight Emma for them!

Day 8

Today's prompt - technology.

Day 7

Today the prompt is: something new. This is a new arrangement that my neighbor and friend Ruth brought over as a thank you for all the things we've done for them recently. It is perfect for me, as it will require little care and anyone that knows me, knows that I have a black thumb!

Day 6

Today's prompt is a childhood memory. I immediately thought of this tea set. This is not my photo, as my set is in storage, but this is the exact set that my sister bought me when I was young and that my daughter played with when she was younger.

Day 5

Today's prompt is someone you love. Well I decided to do three someones that I love, because they were all in one place, at one time, which doesn't happen as often as I would like.

Day 4

The prompt for today is: favorite color. Mine seems to change alot -but I love this antique looking blue-green.

and I also scrapped, had to finish it this morning - cause things kept getting in the way - but it is done! uses Studio Calico Paper Moon kit from June 2011 and inspired by a sketch on the Ella Blog.

Day 3

Today's prompt is clouds, and lucky for me I live in the PNW, and if there is one thing we have plenty of - even in summer - it is clouds. Taken once again with Instagram app on my iPad2. One day I will use a real camera again!

Day 2

Day 2 prompt - What I wore:
Today was my first day back at work after a 10 day vacation, so I was in my work "uniform", my polartec fleece vest.

Day 1

Here is my self portrait photo taken for the
I took it using the instagram app on my iPad2.  Excuse the still wet hair ;)

New Beginnings

If there is one thing I am good at, it is beginnings.  I'm not so good with following through to the end though  Case in point, my blog.  I can't count on one hand how many times I have "re-started" my blog.  Each time with the great intention of keeping it up and making it a great place to store my memories.  Yet each time, I stumble and then fall.  But I guess it isn't how many times you stumble and fall, but how many times you get back up.  So here I am, getting back up and beginning again!

One thing I am beginning today is

If you are interested in joining in, you can find the details at Oh So Lovely.  I'll be back a little later to post my day 1 assignment.

Yesterday, I bought myself a present.  An it is the end of my 10 day vacation present, an I want one, but I don't need one present!  I bought myself:

an iPad2 and it looks just like the picture!  We had a lot of fun playing around with it last night and so far I really, really love it and am glad that I splurged!  Any other iPad owners out there with advice on must have apps?  I already have Paprika, Angry Birds and the Talking Tom Cat.  We laughed so hard at the Talking Cat one!
