How to Play in Traffic 101

My dear Honeysuckle Breeze Peeps:   You've been fantastic the last two months. I know I haven't posted much and am in the countdown until July 1 when a number of meetings will be off my plate and I can come out and play more with you! Favorite quote for today......

"Carry a jar of bubbles in your car. 

Add a little fantasy

for the next traffic jam." 

Jennifer Louden

Worked yesterday and today. Did get to do cardio tennis yesterday morning. I chose to work since it caught me up and my Monday will not be as bad as it might have been! LOL  I head to the two meetings on Wednesday and will return next Tuesday. I am pretty certain that Harley may be able to keep you up with my activities since I will be busy and the little red dog will be roaming the halls of the hotel. Hopefully staying out of trouble, but we do know him don't we.

Today, we will treat you to three more  letters:  R, S, and T. These three were really fun way back when!
(do you realize I haven't created anything since way back when?)

R = A Royal Pain - (oh yes they were, see the look in their eyes)

and then there was S = Behind Closed Doors - Sorcery 101:

and last is T = and Baby Makes Three. This is a favorite since I used up the last of some fun lace I had:

And now it is time to go thru a few papers I did bring home from work - Now Now - it is called "purging" the old files! Y E S and then I will run out and buy a jar of bubbles and play in traffic under the full moon. Is there a full moon?  Smooches and Hugs and I promise not to stay away so long. And a little tease for you, when July 1 shows up, we will have a few give aways!

Urban Urchins and Vestal Virgins

I always wonder how the weeks run away so quickly. My week was busy at the office and I did not get in as much tennis or cleaning as I wanted. But overall a fantastic week. Worked late one day after work but well worth the time in order to catch up. These three day weekends do play havoc with your plans.

First off, we will visit the U and V in the Alphabet ATC collection.  These were fun when created, I created the Vestal Virgin card early on and used a Hunt Tomato Paste food can wrapper as the background. Once I found the clip art the title jumped into my head.

With the U - this one was a more difficult one in being "birthed" - I chose the background first and have loved the charlie chaplin and clown kids clip art for a long time.

The boston terrier reminds me of my Poncho who grew up with me. The metal circle around the pup - not sure what it is but I had it in my collection of stuff.

On the holiday last week I did get dresser drawers cleaned and straighted.... felt good.  Today I was able to meet a fellow artist in my area. We first met on PaperWhimsy, then FaceBook when we friended each other. Later we realized we were not that far apart...... Me in Sterling, She in Arlington. We have had fun in the FaceBook community for the last 9 months.

Today she had an art opening. theresa mARTin is an inspiring artist.  She showed at the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery in Rockville, Maryland. For a peek, click on this link.  I ended up buying two of her works. The first was what I call "she had me at the rhinestones." What more can I say. I am a rhinestone kinda gal.......I also bought a smaller assemblage work call "3".....

 The inspiration was so exciting. I really can't wait until July when I will start creating again. Drove home from Maryland and guess what, the traffic here in this area can be a pain in the butt. A breezy easy Sunday traffic jam, you can only image the chaotic chaos it is during the week,

In the meantime I am cleaning, and cleaning, and cleaning....Two big meetings coming up, one on June 13 and one the last week in June.  In the meantime, I will be cleaning, working, playing tennis, and working out with my trainer. Sorry I am so boring right now - but that's the way it is in my world. I am still loving my new book,

So, for me, back to reading my book. Hugs to you and I am going to go blog hopping which I haven't done in like forever. I think of you all often, I really do.
