Here are past entries, in case you missed 'em!
(26 April 2010) I had some
time one night this last week, so I finally got around to making a picture I'd
had in mind since the Olympics.
(16 April 2010) I had a birthday!
Stamps gave me some fun gifts and took meout to a Mexican restaurant for dinner.
I laughed when I saw the cake he'd picked out. I am always calling him my "cookie
monster" since he eats a lot of cookies (and never gains an ounce I might
add).
(25 March 2010) With the husband
on spring break this week, I took today off so we could hang out together. We
drove out to Cannon Beach, which was a good choice because it was raining. A
lot. It's been nice and sunny all week until now but it was quite wet today.
So, we spent most of our time in the shops - which is fun but doesn't lead to
many good pictures. I did get this one though. Looks like I need to keep an
eye on that boy...
(6 March 2010) We are having an early spring here in the Northwest. It's barely March and the cherry blossoms are already out, accompanied by the daffodils and some pine cones on the tree in my yard. I drove home from Portland today with the windows down, enjoying the breeze. Not cold, not hot. Just perfect.
A local high school put on a production of Les Miserables. It is an abridged version for schools to do since the actual play is quite lengthy. It was quite well done. My husband and a friend of ours interpreted it so the deaf could enjoy it as well and they did a fantastic job!
The Olympics were great to watch. I loved it - though I was getting quite sleep deprived by the time they ended. Hats off to Joannie Rochette for finding the strength to perform in figure skating (winning a bronze) days after her mother suddenly passed away. I couldn't have done that after the loss of my sons, even if I did have talent. Now she'll have no regrets about the Olympics that "could have been."
(17 February 2010) Here's my attempt at following another tutorial in Photoshop User Magazine -- making typewriter keys. It looked a little better at the original size (bigger) but you get the idea.
(15 February 2010) The Olympics have started! I love watching the Olympics. It doesn't matter if it is the Winter or Summer Games, I'm a fan of 'em both. I remember watching the Figure Skating competitions with my family when I was a kid. Such happy memories. So, it was with great excitement that I settled onto my couch with a bag of popcorn to watch the Opening Ceremony last Friday. My dog, who happens to love popcorn, was all too eager to share.
I've become a fan of Snowboard
Cross - a wild event. Happily, the USA won GOLD in the men's snowboard cross
event in a thrilling finish.
(10 February 2010) Well, so much for the Colts winning the Super Bowl.
Since the state quarters started
coming out, we've been trying to collect one from each state. Yesterday, we
got the last two!!
For Christmas, my husband
gave me the new Super Mario Brothers Wii game. Since it is multiplayer, we've
been playing it together. It's quite a fun game. We work pretty well together
on it but every so often, one of us would become the victim of 'friendly fire'
which just make it all the more hilarious. The game can have up to four players
at a time, which gets crazy! Anyway, not long ago, the following message
appeared. I guess we unlocked everything that could be unlocked and achieved
every goal set. Time to play it again!!!
(24 January 2010) I correctly
predicted the two teams that would end up in the Super Bowl (Colts vs Saints)
!!!! For my next trick, I predict that the Colts will win it all.
vs 
(8 January 2010) It's a new year! The bad part about that is the end of college football season. It's been wonderful to spend lots of hours in front of my television, cheering on various teams - especially BYU. Somehow, it gave me something to think about other than how my boys didn't get to experience their first Christmas.
I saw these comics in the
paper recently and knew they describe us perfectly. First, Lizzard!
And now, Stamps!
Here are a few projects I
did recently in Photoshop. Click on them to see bigger versions.
