Brushes App

I sit in the car a lot. Waiting. For kids. So I can drive them around. This is what I do when I wait. I doodle on my brushes app for the iphone.

Finger Painting

I went with my daughter to her first out of state soccer tournament in Arizona. Instead of downloading a book onto the ipad, I downloaded the Inspire-pro painting app. My first attempt at finger painting on the ipad:

I absolutely love the fact I can create without having to bring my paints, colored pencils, etc. when trying to save space! I am determined to get better at this!

I spent all weekend taking pictures (photo post-processed in photoshop):

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!

Sunday

This is what we did on Sunday Evening:

All that white? It's snow. Very pretty, except for the fact it was FREEZING, and I had on about 5 layers on top! Anything to watch your kids, right?

I love the shadows in that top picture. I wish I had my big camera with me. Thank goodness for the iphone!

Dining Room

I joined the bandwagon. Another password I need to remember. I finally downloaded Instagram. It's not the same as my photoshop CS3, but it is instant gratification for obsessive picture-takers like me. 

I'm working on my dining room now - I wanted a change from my big painting I had in there. I'm trying not to make too many unnecessary holes, so I am actually going to think about how I'm going to display my medley of food/food related paintings together.

Loving this app.....

Snow Day!!!!!

There's nothing like staying home from school because of a blizzard!

View from the Slopes

We had an awesome day of skiing yesterday:

Have a great Monday everyone!

Field Trip

I chaperoned a field trip to the Denver Art Museum yesterday. This sculpture below was amazing. See our tiny children on the right? Each child in the sculpture represents a different race:

(Sometimes I feel like my feet get all big and swollen like that! :) )

It was by this artist:

Happy Friday everyone!

New Painting

My newest listing on Esty. I've name her "Kelly" for all the pops of green. I'm a little sick of the white that is covering our grass right now. I need some green!

Tweaking the Entry

After taking down the Christmas tree, I was really excited to decorate the entry.

You see, 8 years ago, we inherited a grandfather clock when my husband's mom passed. It's a nice clock, but it really didn't fit into our decor. Over the years, I have tried to decorate around the area to make it less formal. My husband was not that fond of the actual clock, but was holding onto memories of his mom through the clock. He decided before Christmas that it was time to give the clock to his brother. His brother has more of a formal house and the scale of the clock fits so much better there.

I found a before of the entry - this was 3 years ago. My more recent pictures somehow got corrupt on my hard drive. My walls have been painted since then, the sunflowers and the painting at the top of the stairs have not been there for a long time.

After:

Ahhh, I feel like I can breathe now. The entry is  so much more relaxed now. I will continue to tweak this area, and move things around.

On another note, I caught this guy praying several times over the course of the Broncos game:

Faith has to start somewhere, right? And what a great role model we have in Tim Tebow for young athletes:

I'm always telling my kids that sports, in the end, is just a game, but that God uses it as a tool to make Himself known. 

The verse John 3:16 is one of Tim Tebow's favorite verses.

He passed for 316 yards, and passed for 31.6 yards per completion yesterday. What are the odds?

I don't know much about football, and didn't watch much until recently. But this is cool.  

Go Broncos!
