Moment

Here we are again...IT'S MONDAY.

I hope you all got a moment all to yourself to relax for at least 2.5 seconds.

I got to work on my girl this weekend and I think I'm pretty much done with her, BUT I may make a few final changes. I really like her=0)

I received my new pendants for my summer pieces this weekend. I'm SUPER excited about how cute they are. I've been looking at all kinds of photos to start my sketches. I've also been looking at pretty stones to add=0) Is there anything you'd like to see? 

Think SEA.

My other job...

X-I think I should of got the Rubik's 4x4 first.

Me-Listen...you can always get it. The 5x5 looks so crazy hard to me, BUT fun.

X-Yeah, but I think that I'm getting better. I just think I will learn the combinations if I solve the 4x4 first.

Me-True.

X-Why don't you go ahead and buy it for me.

Me-I'll put it on your birthday list.

X-I'm not waiting that long. 

Me-......

X-I had an AWESOME karate class today...now will you buy it for me?

What's in a sketch

HOLA sweet cheeks.

I've been sketching away on something new.

A new sketch that has taken MANY hours=0) 

I'm really trying to make sure that everything looks good. 

LOL.

Usually, I spend more time painting. I started wondering what would happen if I spent more time on the sketch itself. Will it look different? Hmmmm....

Stay tuned....

Have a great day,

Carol

My other job...

X-You have to talk to my teacher about the merit badges.

Me-Merit badges?

X-YES. That I'm SO close to getting my NO KIDS MEAL badge.

Me-..........

X-I only have FIVE more adult meals at a restaurant.

Me-Hmmm...then what happens?

X-I get my badge.

Me-.........

X-We are going on a field trip and they are ordering EVERYONE kid's meals. I can't get one. I CAN'T.

Me-When is the field trip? 

X-In two weeks.

Me-If you get this....merit badge before then...THEN can you get a kid's meal?

X-NO...I hate kid's meals.

Me-None of this makes sense to me.

X-You have to email my teacher and ask her to order me an adult meal.

Me-Lets talk to dad about all this.

X-UGGHHHH.... I already told you that YOU'RE THE BOSS. Dad knows this already.

New paints

I have exciting news...I GOT NEW PAINTS.

Whenever anyone asks me what I'd like as a gift I pretty much ALWAYS ask for art supplies. Most of the time it's paper, but this time I said I'd like some new paints. The funny thing is...NOBODY ever gives me art supplies. LOL. LOL. LOL.

Well this broken record GOT NEW PAINTS.

HOLY RAVIOLI.

I was so shocked and was dying to try these as soon as I opened them up.

I am LOVING these so much that I didn't want to go to bed once I started using them.

Have a great day.

Carol

X-10AM...That's insane. 

Me-It's really not. It's wonderful and please keep my door closed.

X-I'm staying in bed with you.

J-Me too Mami.

Teachers

I'm sure most of you that have kids know it's teacher appreciation week.

This is a fun time for kids to spoil their teachers all week long with flowers and goodies.

Today we are giving his teacher things that she would need if she got stuck on a deserted island.

Since I couldn't send her a coconut full of Malibu, we sent her a journal...nice pen...pistacchios and a bookmark. Here is a peek at her bookmark with her favorite animal.

It's an Okapi. Half giraffe and half zebra.

On the back I put a quote.

"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

~Dr. Seuss

Have a great day.

Carol

My other job....

X-Professor of the Rubik's cube 3x3 is ready to start class.

Me-Okay, I'm ready.

X-Lets just read the 7 step process to solve the cube.

Me- Okay.

X-(He's reading all the combinations on the instructions)

Me-I'm already confused. All the F this and U that and R rotations.

X-I can see that you are going to be something else.

Colors...colors everywhere

I finished my Thank you watercolor.

I started this watercolor thinking about flowers and rhinestones, but now I just see COLORS.

Anyone that has known me for years knows that I love purple. When I was growing up I'd always find a way to incorporate purple in my outfit=0) 

I must of looked crazy because my school uniform was navy and red=0/

OH...no worries...I didn't mind at all that purple never matched. 

Hahahaha!

I won't even tell you about my purple metallic socks. 

OH...I loved the 70's.

SO...now that I'm older I'm really enjoying other colors too. 

I think that this new card shows that.

Hahahaaha.

I'm excited to see how it looks when I get the finished product from the printers.

Have a COLORFUL day.

Carol

X-Do you have any cash? I want to get some books at the book fair.

Me-I only have $20.00.

X-That's great.

Me-Since J is asleep I'm going to park the car in front by the library and wait for you there.

X-OK.

Me-I can drive you to the front. No...I'll just go from here(running away from car).

30 MINUTES LATER I'M STILL WAITING IN THE CAR.

Me-J wake up sweetie.

J- Where is X?
