Hi Everyone!!!I am back from an extended long weekend filled with one of my favorite past times...Sledding...
I also have my submission for Mixed Media Monday ready...the theme is "Romance" and I created some new wooded art dolls for the prompt this week....these two are a very odd couple but they manage to keep the romance in their lives....and they are all ready for Valentine's Day!!!
I just can't stop making these dolls...I am sure I will have plenty more ideas this week...they are part of my painting a day project and I love painting on wood...for a change....
I also thought I would share some photos from the wonderful weekend we had with family and friends up at the cottage....I have been sledding for over 13 years now and I still get blown away by the amazing beauty we find of the trails....I stop and take it all in...it is pure magic and I am so grateful I get to see this....no matter how cold it gets this always warms my heart....My wonderful husband got me hooked when we started dating and now I am addicted!!!
I just love driving over lakes...to think we swim and water ski on this very same water...
My sister in law Monika ...I am so blessed to have such an amazing sister in law...she always makes me smile and laugh and I love her!!!
My Dad also made it out this weekend and he enjoyed some ice fishing with his friends...he was the only one who caught a big one this weekend!!!
the scenery is amazing and I just love experiencing all this beauty....breathtaking!!!
Here is a friendly guy we met on our travels....
but the greatest part of experiencing anything is sharing it with the people you love and I was lucky enough to enjoy this with my loved ones!!!
lunch break!!! who wouldn't love to enjoy lakeside....on the ice....priceless!!!Happy Monday Everyone!!!
Hugs
Diana
