I've Been Sick

I've been sick since last Friday and really haven't felt like doing anything at all. But last night I did sit down at my craft desk and make this card to share with you.

I was playing around with my watercolor pencils. I was stamping out flowers for my children and showing them how to color them in with the pencils and then "paint" over them with a wet paint brush. We cut out our flowers and made cards and used them as embellies on the cards.

Here is mine.

Except for my "painted" flowers, I used all Doodlebug paper and embellies. I just love those bright, happy colors!!

The kids had a great time doing this little art project. I can't show you their cards because I didn't photograph them before they took them off to school to give to their teachers! oops...ha

Funny thing happened yesterday, I was sitting in my office next to my 4 windows and heard a bird hit the window. I got up to go look and see if the bird was okay. When I looked outside I saw a huge Roadrunner (I believe that is what it was) on my window sill walking back and forth! It was as wide as my window and about 12 inches (or more) tall. It just kept walking from one window sill to the next. I was starting to get a little concerned because I had one of the windows open (!) but it never came that far over before it jumped up on the fence next to my windows and took off.

It all happened so fast that I didn't think to get my camera out and take a picture. Sorry....it would have been cool.
