Other uses


Have any of you read Real Simple segment where they show alternative uses for everyday items? I am tempted to send this their way.

Yes, I am a neat person but not neat enough to squeeze my toothpaste from the bottom. I AM cheap, however. I saw this nifty contraction on the isle with the oil paints. I hate letting paint go to waste so this device is exactly what I am looking for now I have gotten to the end of come crucial colors. I think I may have to go back for another to actually use for paint. With my coupon this was only $2. Worth every penny if you ask me...

Full Moon

I took this out the window of my Altanta hotel!



Tell me someone else saw this last night? This was taken from the parking lot of Academy Sports. (Note to self. Never go there the opening weekend of football season. EVER!)



These are the very reason I have a camera small enough to fit in my clutch.

Calligraphy Flashback


Carol recently received her professional wedding pictures. I scanned one of them. I'm a little partial to this one. I don't even want to think about how long it's been since I picked up my calligraphy quill!

Another small update

Sometimes it helps to turn the painting upside down. It forces you to look at the shape and it helps me with straight lines....



This picture I took (upside down) to give you an idea of what it looks like....



I have LOTS of dotting ahead of me. Good thing I can watch HGTV while I do it...anyone else annoyed with the new show "Real Estate Intervention." It's unfortunate that man is on during the 9:00 hour because that is my prime time for painting!

Fun at Work

I must say, I am pretty darn lucky to work where I do. We have some VERY creative people. In fact, this is a great example of my fun (we work too) work environment.

Carol (my boss) had her 10th anniversary with the company today. Chris and LK, over the past 4-5 years, have collected all the room keys from onsite implementations. They complied it into this masterpiece for her. The pictures below cannot capture quite the detail and thought that was put into this....(They can pretty much account for what trip they were on for every key. They almost have every state represented. The ones they have are in alphabetical order!)






...and last but not least, the title of the piece...
