The Suns Golden Glow

The drive home from North Carolina proved to show me many beautiful sights. Between the ice covered trees and the yellow in the sky. It had been a long time since I had seen such a beautiful yellow from the sun.

Tiny White Blooms

These little flowers were peeking out of the leaves in the early spring sunshine. I love taking photos of the small blooms of tiny flowers. It offers me a chance to see how amazingly beautiful the smallest blooms really are.

A Park's Surprise

It is amazing what a walk in the park with show you. The surprises that come upon you as you turn down another path. There was a little bridge that crossed over this water. The water lead to a wetland that was full of sunbathing snapping turtles.

South Dakota Cactus

On the ride back through the badlands these little beauties dotted the landscape in places. It really surprised me to see them since this area gets quite a bit of snow in the winter time.

Idaho's Beauty

These two photos were taken in eastern Idaho. Close to the Tetons and near Yellowstone National Park. However, not many tourists get these shots as a friend took me where tourists rarely get to go.

On A Rail

This photo was taken in North Carolina. It seems to be one of the favorites over at ViewBug. I don't have many I feel are canvas worthy. However the more I look at this shot the more I believe it is one worthy of canvas. It will one day end up on my wall in canvas for sure.

 

This photo is for sale in two sizes only!

Lavender Beauty Repeated

The flower gardens in Deming Park are a wonderful place to walk through. So many different flowers and smells, an overload of the senses in the most wonderful of ways.

Prairie Homestead's Prairie Dog

This Prairie Dog had been digging in the dirt looking for food. When he popped up to look at me I laughed at his muddy front end. Taken at the Prairie Homestead near the Badlands, South Dakota

Rainbows and New Beginnings....

I have chased some rainbows and the colors are bright. My cameras have joined me on my journey and maybe it's time to add some of those photos here. So let's begin with a new card design for myself. I will be offering some of my photos for sale to those interested in purchasing one. You can email me letting me know which one you wish to purchase.

A New Journey and Some Quilting

It seems the last post I made here was in 2012 and 2014 is quickly approaching. I have made so many changes since my last post. Though not all of my own design but made just the same. I am finishing up a quilt for me finally. Been working on it a while now and love how it looks so far. The next one will be a black and white quilt for my mother and then a purple and black one for my oldest daughter.

Well, until I return again, good night

Wandering Back

I found myself wandering back to my blog tonight only to find things have changed on me..LOL I guess there have been a lot of changes in my life since I was here last. We moved to another state and I have a new job working for less than I feel anyone should be. It helps pay the bills but that is about it. What a shame to have to struggle just to survive while those in the capitol think things are looking better. Wish someone would give them a good shot of reality for once.

My degree has brought nothing my way recently in the line of work. I think the best thing I got from it so far would have to be the friends I made along it's journey.

Age is slowly creeping up on me lately, though, it has not gone unnoticed. The aches and pains seem to last longer now and don't go away as easily as they use to. I suppose grinning and bearing it has a new meaning these days.

Been a while I know . . .

I am finally going to post on here again. We had graduation on Friday night and of course it was raining.

I am excited to tell you I received a Student of the Year award and was honored with being on the President's List. Classes will be over the 18th of December and I am so ready to put everything I have learned to work.

A couple recent layouts

Just thought I would share a couple of my most recent digital layouts before heading to bed.

The Start of a 4 Day weekend

Began after classes today. It will be nice to be able to have some extra time to do some yard cleaning. I think we might have the financing figured out for my next year. I will probably have to pay $35 but hopefully we will get it worked out next week.

Just thought I would post my other seed packages tonight. I should post a few of my other assignments as well but I would have to convert everything and I am thinking I will save that for later on.

WOW...It's been a while

I know it's been a while since I have been on here. You all know how that goes....Life Happens sometimes. I wonder how many times I have said that? The second year of classes begin on the 27th and if I can't come up with the shortage of $3585 I won't be continuing on for my Associate Degree any time soon. Life really sucks sometimes and sometimes I feel like it keeps handing me the worst cards in the deck. Just lift my chin up I suppose and go on and try to make things better. I have applied for scholarships but I won't know about them until after the deadline of April 15th. Enough about that I suppose.

Here are a couple of the most recent projects I have been working on. I know I have quite a few finished since my last post but, thought I would just post the two that I finished up tonight. These are seed package designs we are to create. I decided to create at least three vegetables with the same design and probably another design for the flower package. I will also be designing a candy box, probably for extra credit unless it's for his next assignment. Not quite sure what he said it was for.

Another Set of Business Cards

I wasn't thrilled with how my first set of cards printed out. It could be the printer but it just wasn't working for me. I do like them but was upset with the printed results. I had to create a resume for the school to submit for a chance to redesign a web site for a local business. While making my resume I decided to redesign my card, letterhead & envelope with the colors I used in my resume. I am quite pleased with my final result and they even printed out like they were supposed to.
