LOAD Day 24

Fourth of July.
Sorry for the really lame photo job.
I'm running late on my posts today. Forces are conspiring against me, namely the kind that stay home from school because they aren't feeling well and then whine all day and fight with their brother. Gotta love them!

LOAD Day 23

A little tribute to my mother-in-law and her husband Paul. She's been visiting the blog each day to check out my LOAD progress, so I thought I'd give her a little eye candy!
Totally slipped my mind that yesterday was post number 100! I have sat down at this computer 100 times, looked out this same window as I'm gathering my thoughts 100 times, sipped my coffee and blabbed about my life and art 100 times. They say it only takes 21 times to make a new habit, so I guess 100 makes me fully addicted by now!

LOAD Day 22

Christmas morning at home.
Only 9 more days to go on this challenge. It has been a great ride and I hope that I will be able to continue to work on my art daily. It seems to have found a nice little place in my routine.

LOAD Day 20

Mark and Ben took a boy's trip to the coast last winter and these are some photos Mark snapped on the beach. I sure could use some "beach" about now, but more of the South Pacific variety. It's snowing again. The joke in our family (from my FIL Paul) is that when you say "it's snowing again" you also say "and JCPenney's is having a sale", because they are always having a sale and it seems like it's always snowing, at least this year.

LOAD Day 18

Two birds with one stone here; one of my layouts for kit club in Lewiston tomorrow.
It's pajama day at school for Ben today. He was so excited last night just knowing he didn't have to get dressed before school today. And it's "bring a pet to school day" for Claire, which means Teddy the hamster and I have a date this afternoon. 4 day weekend for us. Wish we were doing something exciting, but we'll be working around the house, finishing projects and catching up. It's too cold here to even go skiing or play outside much. Gotta love January!
