Dreaming of Sweat


Here's a layout I did based on a sketch of Becky Higgin's for a CK submission call. Loved pulling all of these different photos together to celebrate Spring.


This is what we're doing:
1. Hauling wood and building fires. It's darn cold this morning. Checking the temperatures in Houston; high of 93 today. Heading there next week. Can't wait to sweat again!

2. Figuring out how I'm going to paint the faces of all 12 girls in my Brownie troop in 1.5 hours next week. You know they won't want the simple designs.

3. Creating just for fun. No classes or clubs or submission deadlines. Just layouts for the fun of it. Love doing that.

4. Cracking nuts. We have lots of almonds from our tree this year and Mark spent the last 2 nights in the shop making a super-duper nut cracker. This thing should be patented to the mafia. It can easily break any body part and the kids had a blast making a huge mess in the kitchen last night.

5. Ben found his rubber band gun (which was stealthily hidden by me on top of the fridge). Mark stood in front of the pantry door with his safety glasses on this morning and let Ben shoot at him. Boys are so funny.

6. Really quite a relaxing and pleasant week after the whirlwind of last week. Enjoying this pace.
