All My Love

Hello Friends

Last week, I shared with you that we lost a good friend and artist.  Connie loved to color and I've been working on setting up a memorial with her husband.  I think Connie would have loved to help others color.  I'll keep you posted as we figure out the details.  I wanted to make something for Husband and Mom.   I turned this card into a framed piece of art.

 This is very similar to the card, I did add some airbrushing to soften the sky.

 I found this poem online.  I couldn't find an author.

Ten Things You Should Know By Now

Hello all,

I have fun little project to share with you.  My family has been planning a surprise party for my Uncle's 60th birthday party for the last month.   We have been brainstorming ideas for fun gifts for him.  This was a bit last minute, but this what I came up with last week.   I put it in a frame so he could have a fun keepsake from his party.
 

After taking him out for a delicious dinner we gave him a series of "Gag" gifts, including a wig, stool softener, tennis balls for a walker, and a name badge that says "if found return to the nursing home". He has a great sense of humor and took it all in stride.  Don't worry we also gave him some nice gifts. It was a really nice to see all of my family.  Here are a few pictures of my Uncle.
