This week

has been full of lots and lots of work - here in town, thankfully - but busy with conference calls

and training prep , etc. etc.etc ... and sinus yuck, still.

We were in bed by 8:30 one night;

how crazy is that?

It's been nice being at home all week...

[Kitchen table - those were the boys' Easter hats back in 1992 - I"m getting old...]

It's still crappie season

and Craig and his friends are making the time for late afternoon fishing excursions -

that's made for some yummy baked fish for dinners.

[So easy - put on a foiled lined pan and cover with fish seasoning / cajun seasoning / whatever you like, dot with butter and stick in the oven, pre-heated to 450*, for about ten minutes - just enough time to get a potato done in the microwave... delicious!

And there's plenty in the freezer for later!

While he's been fishing I've had time to explore a few more of my art lessons -

This is a doodle-collage [taught by Cathy Bluteau] that was fun to do -

a mixture of washi tapes, papers, markers, and cut-outs...

I'm looking forward to doing another one...

And this one is from LifeBook 2013 - the process she taught was so very detailed... I knew I didn't have patience for that so I improvised [as did many in the group -] and, again, used markers, and modpodge, and glossy accents, and stickles... fun.

Note - Lil EmmaLou is doing fine - she's home and moving slowly... but every day is better.

She went in for her spay -  she was having pseudo - pregnancies

so things were a bit more complicated.

But it's done now - she gets her stitches out next week.

Have a good one!

And, remember - let your light shine!!
