Albino Lion

I've decided to put the albino lion up on Etsy instead of the image below. The one below is next.

We've been staying home the past couple of days because Dad is sick. He's caught a cold and I'm afraid Toot and I are going to be next. The days sure have been great though. Hurray for cool weather! I'm so glad summer is over.

Another image finished

I've got so many things that need to get done. I won't delay any longer.

A step by step view

This is what I've been working on and I finally finished. I would have liked adding more steps, but this was just a test.

I will be posting this on Etsy within the next few days.

Into the Wild

I still haven't figured out hyperlinks so this is the best I could do for now. You can copy and paste to read about the book I'm talking about.

I read this book when it came out in '97 and it was a great read. I'm not surprised that Sean Penn has directed a movie about this book. Hope to get a chance to see his movie. I've always been intrigued by people who choose to drop out of society and go out into the wilderness. I've always fantacized about dropping out like that. With my survival skills I'd probably be a nice snack for a bear. So to not spoil a bear's appetite I stick to reading about these mysterious adventurers.

Ooooh oooh! And Eddie Vedder does the soundtrack. Another Fav! His first full solo album.

Cleaning our Home and A Fun Class

Trying to get organized here at home. Cleaning the home from dust, spider webs, grime and clutter. I like it nice and clean when the cold weather starts coming our way.

The little Toot and I started a class together. It's an opportunity to play with other children her age. She was comfortable right away and wasn't shy. We sang songs and played with new toys. I've always loved going to school because of all the new things to learn. Maybe it had to do with the structure and routine of it all. When we sang songs and used our hands, T sat on my lap and watched. She was fascinated by the whole thing. I was having a great time singing along and trying to learn these new songs. It was great! This class is going to be a lot of fun for the both of us.


I am so happy to have these two in my life! Everyday we are learning new things about ourselves and the love we have for this little girl. Truly a gift.
