Painted postcard!

This isn't for a swap - I was just in the mood to continue painting and stamping while we watched The Golden Compass yesterday....so I painted on one of my watercolour cardstock postcards I have in my writing desk. This time I stamped on two bees and the word 'bloom'.....

'Bloom' ATC's...

These two atc's are painted on watercolour paper using watercolour paints, brushes and then stamped and then I used watercolour pencils to colour in the flower and then brushes on top.

The swap is a 'painted atc' swap at swapbot and the picture can be of anything so long as the atc is painted.

Glass painting...

A Spruce Tree I painted yesterday using my glass painting kit I've had for like...FOREVER!!! :) I bought it in the sale at Michaels after Christmas last year! I didn't want to make this look too much like a Christmas tree - I just wanted it to look like a Spruce Tree so that it could be out at any time of year.

'Fairies Rest' ATC....

This is the ATC that I made for the 'Mushroom/ Toadstool' swap I am in at swapbot.

I surrendered!!!

After watching the trailer to the new movie that is due to be released in November....and hearing endlessly how FANTASTIC these books are, I finally surrendered and snatched up a copy in Chapters this morning! I started reading it while Lloyd was in the Liquor store getting some bottles of wine and have to say I'm enjoying every page so far :)

Christopher is horrified that his Mother is reading this series. Laurence is thrilled because his teacher also raves about them! Lloyd thinks its cool that I'm excited to go see a vampire movie (not normally my thing!) So all in all this is a very good thing :)

You can see the trailer yourself at: www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html

Sunday morning...

I'm sat in bed......Lloyd is in the shower and Sam is in the bathroom playing with lloyds watch and glasses trying to make me laugh :) The Grand Prix from Japan is on the tv (boring).......I've been curled up reading (A Complicated Kindness) and then logged on to see what was happening in the world around me online....

Yesterday I was still feeling crappy - today I feel much better apart from this horrible cough :(

I was in bed much of yesterday and then the latter part I spent crafting....I did some glass painting and then painted a watercolour postcard and then some watercolour ATC's for a painted ATC swap I'm in...then I painted and stamped another ATC for a mushroom/ toadstool ATC swap I'm in!!!! I brought some of my supplies upstairs and I painted at my writing table in my bedroom window - it was lovely watching the sunset as I painted!

Then we got into bed and watched No Country For Old Men - OMG what an odd movie!!!!! Really slow start!!! More violent than Gangs of New York!! Odd ending. Odd movie. Lloyd thought it was brilliant. I didn't think it deserved all the awards it got. I didn't think the acting was that good. Thats just my opinion though. And I like movies with decent endings.

So Lloyd is out of the shower and dressed - as is Sam...they are heading out to the workshop to put some wood in the woodburning fire for Charlie....let the dogs out and stuff......I guess that means it's time for me to get up. Lloyd and I are heading into town for coffee...to get some fresh vegetables for dinner tomorrow...(Thanksgiving day) and a few big plastic tubs I need for storing things from the kitchen - I have to empty everything from the kitchen by next week so I need to get packing - I've emptied most of the cupboards already but I still have about 4 to do so I need boxes!

The time has also come to get the winter clothing out of storage - so thats another job for today!

I will photograph my crafts later and add the pictures.

Tess have a safe drive back from BC!!!
