We are very excited that we have a Gold medal that was won on home turf...Congrats to Alexandre Bilodeau, Freestyle Skiing...who is the first Olympian to win Gold on home turf!!! what a rush.....Congrats to our other wonderful Athletes who brought home 2 silver medals and one bronze....I love the Olympics...they always make me dream about what it would be like....
Anyway!!! as soon as I got home I created a special illustration for Mixed Media Monday...the theme is Mardi Gras!!! what fun....hope you enjoy this special Mardi Gras girl!!!
I also had so much fun this weekend with my amazing family that I had to add some photos...

Yes! Yes! I was glancing at the tv set Diana and I heard the post victory interview and the mention of the wheelchair but not in depht. So yes, I would like to read more. I understand the sensation about muscles I did not know existed. I have been finding ou this past month but every time I find one I seem to lose my familiar fat! I love being active even for just half an hour or 45 mins in the middle of an 8-10 hour sit down day. I am so happy for you!
What a fun post - your Mardi Gras entry is so alive and festive ! And again thanks for sharing your winter wonderland in such gorgeous photos- love the old truck with the skis- perfect!
Wow, what an amazing get-away you had! I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. I can see you all had a fabulous time, including Cole!
Love your illo. Beautiful job!
