When we went to the lake on Friday I took along some blank tags and water color pencils
Just doodled and had fun - so easy to slip on a gift.

Happy Father's Day !!
We are just relaxing today -
I know I've been a "absent" blogger - but I am going to try to be better about it. I am going to post on Sunday's at least and more if time permits.
I've been taking some on line classes:
Alisa Burke
Donna Downey
Jen Hall
All different and very cool. I enjoy on line classes as I can work on it at my leisure in the comfort of my home at wee hours of the morning if I choose.
My son said something to me yesterday:
"Mom", he says, "you know that commercial about the abused animals"
"yes" i answer
"it touched my heart"
"yes, it's very sad"
he says "you know the music they play"
"Yes" I answer
it touches my heart, it almost makes me cry
i say - "yes honey it's awful what some people do to animals"
then he says "what's abuse?"
of course I explained it to him
funny kid.

My niece will be going to "hotel management" school this July - she will be going to a school in Switzerland, something she has had planned for years. I have made her an album the says "The Journey of Me" - I have included lots of blank pages for journals, photos, memorabilia of her days away from home.
