ICAD Three (#s 20,21,22)

Playing catch-up this weekend.

Spread out on the back porch today at my mom's house and painted.

Then finished inking up the cards I started but didn't get round to doing earlier in the week: 

Cute little gift we all got with our mother's day presents. Adorable and cheery!

I sort of  THINK this works... CT looked at this and said 'huh?'  LOL

It was a lazy Saturday today.

I am almost embarassed to say I slept till 11am.

I guess I needed the rest, huh?

Camp starts next Monday, already, so we'll have to round up all equipment needed tomorrow and replace what needs to be replaced.

My brother flies in next Wed and stays on our fair island for a week. Lucky fella ;)

We're going to tuck a trip to NYC in there somewhere for sure.

Spring Street here we come!

Enjoy your day!

This weekend I was looking for some old halloween decorations (and I mean old, I'll have to post them) and I came across a huge Arches watercolor block that I had. I remember this paper frustrating me so much and deciding to just putting it away a few years ago. Well time changes things. I have to say I have come around and am really enjoying this hot pressed paper.

Below are some leaves that I found leaving Oyster Bay this weekend, there are some imaginary ones as well. I am glad I picked the red background. At first I wasn't sure but I'm happy with that and like the touch of orange as well. Its not big, 2.5"x 3.5", ACEO size:

The one that got me started:

same style, so much fun to do!:

My all-time favorite doodle:

Some more fun:

I think purple and green are terrific together :

I've got to remember to stop by Cathy's shop and tell her "My chrysanthemum stones are working!" LOL!
