50 Sun Project - 24/50 New Mexico Sunset

 

I really couldn't decide on just one photo so you are getting multiple photos of this sunset. I love in the first one you can just barely see the cactus. I can't wait to print that one out.

We of course took a selfie with sunglasses.  One of my mother's pet peeves is pictures with sunglasses. So, we took the selfie below in honor of my mother because we are just wrong like that.

Wordy Wednesday - Messed with Again!

 

My son struck again.  He is so pleased with himself.  I have to say this could be our family motto.

Weekly Roll

Saw this video and after cleaning some of my craft supplies up gave it a go. Marsha Valk's rainbow's are fabulous but this is a very accessible project. 

A gelli pad is great for print making. This was the result of playing around for about 10 minutes.  It was great to use up some craft paint as well.

Post from when I first got my gelli plate back in 2016. I think now Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Joann's all carry this product.

Inappropriate Thoughts

I had a colonoscopy this past Friday.  No words!

Deep Thoughts

A book and one little word

I have decided to revisit my one little word.  My word of the year is pursue. I am in pursuit of the life I want to live. I want to live in a more authentic and creative way. This better reflects who I am as a person.

I am a huge fan of Kyle Scheele.  I found him through Instagram.  Kyle is a creative aka artist and motivational speaker. He built a carboard Viking ship and burned it.  He wrote a book How to Host a Viking Funeral. The book is about regrets and leaving them behind. It is very inspiring.

One thing I like I like about Kyle he never says this idea is too crazy or too big. He follows his creative instincts. I would like to be more like Kyle.

Wordy Wednesday - Messed with Letterboard

Well, I was gone for a few days and certain young adult changed my letterboard. I actual thought it was kind of sweet.  I don't know who needs to hear this, but one is the loneliest number. Find some friends or a significant other to help you enjoy this ride called life. 

The pic below is something I saw on a friend's Instagram and it fits here too.

Sunflowers for Ukraine

I heard the country flower of Ukraine is the sunflower. Art Projects for Kids has a tutorial on how to draw these. I felt a creative urge so here is my version.
