So Artful Challenge

The Theme this Week
for the So Artful Challenge is
 "Fall Is In The Air"

Here in Tennessee,
we are having beautiful Fall weather!
It is still quite warm durung the day
but the nights are getting colder!!

I love this time of the year!
There is nothing like the
heady fragrance of an Autumn day!

Here is my entry for this challenge:


Can you imagine this little boy's anticipation
as his mother watches him while
she is working in her Fall garden!
 She has had enough of his shenanigans
for one day and now he must sit
still and ponder his behavior before
he can go back outside to play!
Still, inspite of his naughty behavior,
 he has one foot on the floor, 
waiting until his mother thinks
 he has learned his lesson!!

Thanks for stopping by to take  
  a little peek at my art work! 
 Please have a wonderful day!
Get out in the wonderful sunshine,
 take a walk, smell the air, 
think about how good your life is, 
smile as you head back home,
quickly go through your front door,
and hug the one you love!!

So Artful Challenge

The theme
for this week's
 challenge is...

"The Art of Travel"!


My Vintage Lady travels on cottony, white clouds
 instead of sensibly riding in her T-Model Ford!
And who could blame her!!
The scenery must be breathtaking from that height! 

Thank you for stopping by
to take a look at my art work!

Have a Great Weekend!!
As you go about your daily routine,
remember these three precious things!!!
  

Very little is needed to make a happy life;
 it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Marcus Aurelius


When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
 that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
Helen Keller


And My Personal Favorite!!!

Lead the life that will
make you kindly and friendly
to everyone about you,
and you will be surprised
what a happy life you will lead.
Charles M. Schwab

So Artful Challenge

The Theme this week for So Artful Challenge is
International Women's Week!

I really struggled with this
theme because there are
so many different women I wanted
to use as the subject of my entry.
 I finally decided to do mine on
 Mother Teresa because, not only
was she an International Woman
  but a "Real" International Mother
to all those she came in contact with.

With this entry,  I pay homage to her
unconditional love for all of those
who were in need of her unwavering care! 



Thank you for looking at my art work
 and have a wonderful weekend!

The Theme For So Artful Challenge:
"Alice In Wonderland"!

My Absolute Favorite!

BUT....
I had so much going this week
plus I was sick for a few days
and so didn't get to finish my entry!

I had started a mini-book and was
going to alter 12 pages for each of
the 12 chapters in the book
but I only got to Chapter Two! 

Anyway, I am going to turn in
what I have now and then
 go ahead and finish the rest
of the book  later on  next week!
I will post when I finish the book!

 Sorry, Jeanette, but as I am posting
this at 5:56 a.m. in the morning! 
 I'm late ...late...late
for a very important date!!

So Artful Challenge

I'm late!! Very late!!

I spent more time on this challenge then I meant to,
 but it is finished and soon will be posted at So Artful Challenge!! 

I had so many ideas on how I wanted
to do this challenge and worked on a
 few possibilities but the art work just wasn't
coming through like I wanted it to! 
 
So today, I started out with the first idea I had
 (which is the one you should always stick with) 
and finally it started to come together! 

This sweet, spring image was
our theme for  this week! 
 


I wanted to have some "sweet tiny things"
tucked away and hidden among the branches,
so at first, when you look at my entry,  
you do not see them right away
but as you keep looking,
you will start to see what is 
peeking out of the leaves and cherry blossoms! 

So this is my interpretation of
 Cherries:



Thank you for visiting my site and
I hope you liked  my entry !
Have a great weekend!
