Wonderful long weekend!!! now back to School!....full of inspiration and soon time to work more....










 

Hi Everyone....we are back from our super amazing long weekend....it is always bittersweet for me ....the start of School....I am so excited for our little munchkin....but at the same time I will miss my trusty sidekick!

It will give me a chance to dive into my work full force....and I feel truly grateful for all of the inspiration from the weekend...so much to see and so many beautiful scenes....The tally for the weekend....

  • one moose
  • 7 deer
  • 1 turtle
  • 1 beaver
  • 9 ducks
  • 1 loon
  • dragonflies by the hundred
  • and a few more birds....
amazing indeed!!!

The super cool thing was watching 4 special ducks....all summer long....we fed them from when they were babies and watched them grow....this weekend it was harder to differentiate them from their Mommy....amazing and a blessing....I will be back to my 10 Minute Warm ups....but I can't wait to see what you all have to share!!!

Happiness!!!!
Join me!!!


10 Minute Warm Up is about taking 10 minutes of your day to breathe, relax, open up your mind to possibilities and then create something....you can be inspired to sketch your coffee cup....something on your desk....your table....anything....try it....it is a great way to start the day....then pop back here and share it so we can all see and be inspired by each other!!! I have a linkie thing here so you can add your work any day of the week ....Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and....Sunday....so join me!!! won't you!

Mini-Vacation at the cottage....and my Mixed Media Monday submission for places....

Hi Everyone...


What a wonderful weekend....we headed away for a long weekend...we left Friday and just got back late Sunday night....It was nice to get away with some wonderful friends.

We have a family cottage up in Huntsville and we love escaping to a place where the stars are like glitter at night and the peacefulness is so amazing....well until you hear the boats that is....


Cole is just like his Daddy...he loves his Daddy's boat and as soon as he wakes up he says..."Mommy, Daddy big Boat"...it's so cute to see him love some of the same things Brad loves...
what a smile..he melts my heart each and every day...

Here is the view from the cottage....my favorite time of year here besides summer time is the fall when all the leaves turn into these wonderful colours...just amazing...




a view of the lake from the boat.... and my submission to Mixed Media Monday this week...The theme is places and what better place to post then one of the pieces I made up in Northern Canada....the scenery is amazing. This is a ink, pencil and watercolour painting I did a while back...it was a gift for my husband who showed me some amazing places up North....


Well have a wonderful Monday ....


Cheers,

Diana
