SOS

I took this pic last weekend when I went to LA to visit my parents. Isn't this train cool?! I just love how the colors have faded over its long years! It looks like a toy now... but it's real, and that's exactly how the colors really look. I just faded the background.

FLY, LOCK, PLANT

Dottie was being SO annoying tonight. She was driving us nuts. I had to use her for this word... it was so fitting!

CRAFTING TIME

I've had this moving card idea in my head for a few days now... finally got around to actually making it. I couldn't figure out how to get a good picture of it. How do you all set up your cards to make them look good in pictures?? Any tips?

THREAD

A long strand of fibres. Find one in your space today.

This is the thread I use to close my 12x12 paper box. This is the first use it's gotten in a while because the other circle to wind it around fell off long ago. I can probably fix it, but I haven't yet.

To fall to the ground. What moves down in your space?

EARRING

A little something to adorn the ear. Find one in your space today.

MY BIG IDEA!

Would anyone be interested in participating in an Artist Trading Card swap?!

What is an Artist Trading Card?
ATC Gallery

I thought it would be so much fun if we made cards that we could all trade with one another. We enjoy looking at each other's photography so much, it would be great if we could have a little piece of art to touch and hold.

Please leave me a comment if you're interested. I don't know how I'll work out the details yet... I just want to get an idea of about how many people want to get in on the swap. I'm thinking that I can set it up so that we can make cards in sets of 3-5. I did some research, and it costs 90 cents for me to sent an envelope overseas from California. Sending so few cards shouldn't hurt any one's bank account much. If someone else could let me know how much it costs for them to send an envelope to the US, that would be great!

I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing what you all have to think. This is going to be so much FUN!

BREAKFAST catch-up

The most important meal of the day. Show us breakfast in your space today.

Kyle let me snap a few pics of him eating his Trix cereal, and I just had to use it as a catch-up for breakfast. By the way, this was actually a mid-night snack!!! He loves eating breakfast food at night!

BLOOM

A period of greatest beauty, find 'bloom' in your space today.

My yellow zinnias!

FAT

Something a little rounder than it could be. Find fat in your space.

I cooked some carbonara for dinner, and couldn't resist using bacon as my fat picture. Not that I don't have enough fat in other places... :) YUM! It's still cooking, I'm posting this in the kitchen by the stove. LOL

SMILE

A lifting of the corners of the mouth to express happiness. Show us a smile in your space today.

Growing and caring for my flowers makes me smile!

I also thought that this shot was rather brilliant. I love that you can see all the way down into the bud. I didn't choose it as the main pic because it looked a little too blurry.

FOIL

A thin flexible sheet of metal, find foil in your space.

This is the best I could do as the batteries kept dying in my camera, and I only had 2 replacements instead of the 4 that I needed. BUT... I'm getting a new camera... soon, by Christmas maybe. Then, I'm learning how to use ALL the features and take pics like a real pro. WOOT!

PRESS

DRINK

A liquid refreshment. Find one in your space.

I'm drinkin' it!

BERRY

A small fruit with a stone or seeds. Show us a berry in your space today.

I just realized that these aren't really blueberries, at least not the blueberries that I know. It's a box of hookah tobacco my boyfriend had in his fridge.

I took some shots of some strawberry fruit snacks too, but decided to go with this shot instead since so many of us did strawberries.

HAT

A cover for the head to keep it dry and warm. Find one in your space today.

SHELL

A thin protective cover for an animal or egg. Show us 'shell' in your space.

BOAT

A small vessel propelled by water. Find one in your space today.

Thought I'd work backwards while waiting for a new word. This is Bumbles. I've had her since I was very young... she is old, but still has a big heart.

HAND

The end of an arm. Show us a hand in your space today.
