Leaves

I took these pics while walking around in a really spectacular spot last fall.

We only have colours for about 3 days here, it's all I can do to

go to work each day for that time, and not spend all my time

out in the woods with my camera.  lol

This is for this week's 

Use Your Stuff

Thanks for coming by!

Butterflies

I actually wanted to make two big prints to fit a couple of photo frames I have.

I found them when I was dusting my bedroon.

I don't often dust my bedroon.

Well, actually, the dust was so think, it was more like WASHING my bedroom.

What can I say?

So the first, I made with this week's theme at

Take a Word  in mind.

The second just goes with it, cus there are two frames.

I hope your summer is awesome, 

I haven't been around much and next week, I leave town

(and work!)

Yay!

The second doesn't have butterflies,

but it's a set, so you have to see it.

 (Don't look if you are a purist, the theme after all is Butterflies)

 Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!

Use Your Stuff

Challenge #140 at Use Your Stuff

is

Father's Day

So I made a LO of my own dad when he was young.

I actually have the letter that he wrote to my Mother

the first day after they were wed.

He called her by her new married name,
drew a stamp on it

and wrote,

"I Love You,

Sincerely yours,

Charles A Perry"

How cool is that?!?

Thanks for coming by so I can introduce you to my dad!

(and that's my mom up in the corner)

Mermaids

is the theme over at
