swoon...

I was going through some photos and realized that I never posted my teeny gallery art from this year!

The company I work for has an employee art show each year, {remember the skull baby?} and one portion of it is the Teeny Gallery. Each artist is given a frame to start with, so they are all identical, then creates something within that frame. The end result is always quite interesting to see how we all venture in different directions from the same source.

I was shocked and honored that this year....I WON!! I was the proud recipient of a glorious ribbon and some movie passes! Horray!

I am in the process of making more collages along these lines for my etsy shop, and the Overland Park Fall Festival craft show that I'll be doing at the end of the month. I'm hoping to even get in some halloween themes!

I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day if you're in the US, or just a plain old great weekend otherwise! Here's to the end of summer! Cheers!

chicken soup and scarves...

Jon is feeling under the weather today, so I made a pot of chicken noodle soup this evening. Hopefully the soupy goodness will help him feel better...

Also, I wore my new purple scarf today...not sure if I'm pulling it off or not. What do you all think? Do I look like a cowgirl? Be honest...

Looks as though tomorrow is going to feel even more like fall. We aren't even supposed to get to 70! Time to break out the autumn clothes!

so glad...

for the memories of our vacation...Can't believe it's already been a month.

Funny the things that I remember...

Dad's "drafting", Brenda's "hale bays", the snoring {and subsequently the earplugs}, never getting our food at the same time in restaurants, "Dave" the GPS guy, hearing crickets, our ice cream dinners, and long talks.

I could go on, but this really won't mean much to anyone but the three of us. I guess that's what makes it so special. The three of us have this inside club thing now, something that only we share.

I'm so glad we were able to take that trip. I get a little teary just thinking about it.
