I’m so excited…..

paint

(Sorry, about the blurry picture)  This is paint and palette wetting spray, slo-dri fluid retarder, 1 8 oz. each of tit. white and ivory black.

     Isn’t that the most beautiful sight  that you have ever seen?  I have been wanting these for a long time and when I saw that they were on sale at Dick Blick I went for it!  They were still expensive so I didn’t get a whole lot of colors this time around.  I did get enough to start mixing.  I kinda  hate the idea of learning to mix acrylic with artist grade paint.   I am trying to look at this way, the better I learn to mix the less colors I have to buy, which will be cheaper in the future right? 

     I bought a mix of two different brands of fluid acrylic, Liquitex and Golden.  I think Golden is suppose to be a better brand, but they didn’t have all the colors that I needed so I ended of mixing brands.

     I have my acrylics and  I have canvas NOW  I have to think of something to paint!

You say tomato, I say mater . . .

EDM #14 Draw what you see in the morning when you get up

EDM #17 Draw a musical instrument

EDM #206 We call it (a)

edm-14-17-206

EDM # 14 is my vitamins.  I have to keep them on my dresser so I will remember to take them.  EDM #17 Is the electric guitar that my daughter got for Christmas. 

      EDM#206 is a new challenge and we call it suppa not dinner.  Back home lunch is dinner and we call it dinna.  We went out to eat with some friends on the 40th birthday of my sister and myself.  It was a very nice restaurant in a renovated old church.  We had so much fun and at the end, the husband of a couple ask me how I liked the food.  I said, “Suppa was really good.”   He turned to me and said, “Suppa, what the hell is suppa?!”  I am almost sure he knew what I was referring to, but chose a smart remark to belittle me, so I replied, Suppa is when you share food with people you love and dinner is food you share with people you don’t and then I walked off. Of course I didn’t mean it, but I wasn’t going to let him talk down to me I think he was drunk. Idiot!  

      Let me see if I can remember more stuff  :  going shopping=goin’ to town,  tractor trailer=transfairy truck, aluminium=a -lyewn-yum, yours=yalls-is, and=’n, bologna-bolonie, alot=a mess, ing=in’, tomato=mater, potato=tater.     If my Granny Lucy was still around I’d have a bunch for you. 

      I guess you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take country out of the girl, and that is completely a okay with me.

Happy Birthday to Carol and Karen

carol-and-karen1My sister and I celebrated our birthday together Saturday and a good time was had by all.  We had dinner at Jillian’s and after we shot a little pool and the kids played in the arcade.  Rob and David gave Karen and I a gift certificate to the spa.  I have to admit that they did pretty good.  I have never been and I’ve wordered what the  hype was about.  And now I get to find out.   This morning when I woke up a couple of sleepy faces wished me a happy birthday, I got a card from David, Vicki sent me a birthday post card and I got this fudge ice cream cake that was tonight’s dessert.  Man, that thing was tastey!!!!    

         Below is a quick sketch of a cupcake that I did.

HAPPY         BIRTHDAY      KAREN!

This will be the last post until after the holidays.  I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!

Catching Up with Christmas

christmas-cookies

   Alana and I put up the tree last night and wrapped what gifts we had so far.  I have to admit that I do feel a little better about the approaching holidays.   This evening we made a bunch of Christmas goodies.  We made Peanut Butter Fudge, Brownies, Muddy Buddies, chocolate dipped pretzels, Chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies for David.    My house smelled sooo good and I was enjoying the smell of chocolate and peanut butter in the air, but I had to ruin it by making burgers for supper.   

I don’t have much to add tonight, but I thought I would share my progress report.
