My hair is like a mop. Jared's hair is black like fried brunt chicken. My Dad's hair is round and flat like a fuzzy plate. My Mom's hair is straight and thin she sometimes colors it.
So my 9 year old had to write a story that included all his family in it. This is what he came up with...we know his teacher had to be laughing her head off!
I love it when the rodeo comes in to town...it's a fun time here. This year I was able to go four times. I got to see Alan Jackson, Darius Rucker, Toby Keith and Keith Urban.
Alan Jackson
Toby Keith
Keith Urban was amazing...I hope he comes back next year!
It's all done! I know this is a terrible picture but I wanted to be able to show the entire piece. I have some close ups of the jellyfish and sea horses below.
My friend JP told me about this and I wanted to share it because I think it's a wonderful project. It's called "Handbags For Hope"
On Mother's Day, countless moms will receive purses as gifts. But for hundreds of Austin-area domestic violence victims, the purses they receive could contain a lifeline.
The Texas Advocacy Project and the Travis County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday that they are collecting new or gently used purses as part of a campaign, Handbags for Hope, to put information on domestic violence into more women's hands. The handbags, which will be given to the women by their children as gifts, will have the Texas Advocacy Project's domestic violence hot line number stitched inside.
"Many victims of domestic violence leave their partner in the middle of the night," said Heather Bellino, the nonprofit's spokeswoman. "Usually they bring nothing with them except their children and purse." Bellino said pamphlets with phone numbers and resources often end up in the trash or taken away by an abuser. Discreet information stitched into a purse could make a difference in finding legal help, she said, adding that the Texas Advocacy Project offers its services for free.
Here are my notes for my sea creatures piece. As you can see I have my paper down and I am starting my background using this great acrylic blue called Cornflower. I really watered it down because I wanted a lot of the green patterned paper to show through. I don't have a picture to show you but I used white acrylic and dry brushed the background and added the country tan for texture using bubble wrap.
I have the little sea horses and jellyfish already cut out and ready to go. I just need to get the background done...I am on my way.
I am almost done with it so I will show you more in the next day or so.
I've never been into celebrities and honestly don't care a hoot about the Oscars. My husband had it on the Oscars so I watched Sandra Bullock accept her award and that was about it for me. What surprises me is how Hollywood is kinda small but so many celebrities look a lot alike...see what I'm talking about below.
