Happy Holiday Weekend Everyone! I hope you all had a beautiful, safe, productive, creative weekend. As for Weekend Madness in the Studio...did some things but not as much as you guys are used to seeing...and here is why...
Meet Mr. Snapper...yip...we had a little visitor that strolled up from the creek. Fortunately we got him back down to his watering hole. How the heck he made it up from creek is beyond me. It must have taken him a month! LOL
My husband brought over the John Deer and Mr. Snapper got a ride back down to the creek! 
As my husband was taking Mr. Snapper back to the creek, I wanted to show you how fast the Wheat is growing! I can't wait until the fall when this is all brown and we have the windows opened to hear the wrestling sounds of the Wheat!
As for what I did this weekend...Take a Peek...
WE CLEANED THE ENTIRE PORCH AND POWER WASHED EVERYTHING!
This is the Side of the House. See that Truck...I think if I lived near Caroline, her and Phil would be on that so fast...especially for what's inside...Sorry Caroline & Phil...the truck is going to my Sister-in-Law to be used for her Halloween Festivities! LOL
I didn't even get to my flowers or veggies...I guess they will have to wait until next weekend...I need lots of potting soil!
Oh Boy... A CLEAN PORCH! As I'm typing this blog post, my husband is putting all the crap that you saw on the lawn back...I must hurry back down there to make sure it's just right! LOL
I am also preparing for an upcoming workshop that I will be taking with Monica over at www.handsandheart.ning.com, and she gave us some homework before we start the workshops. Here is my book that I will be using for my painting classes.
If you like a watercolor effect on your pages, try using Golden's Absorbent Ground. It's wonderful!
Getting my Paints ready.
I'm also involved over at www.evbstudiohome.ning.com with Marie. We started our workshop entitled Painting on Air Dry Clay. If you love working with Air Dry Clays, this a must take workshop. It's so worth it!
Still can't figure out how to make this picture go the other way! LOL

LOLNow, I couldn't let the weekend go by without getting some type of art work done. However, I managed to stay up all night on Friday into Saturday and finished my "Gossip Girls" which I posted on Saturday, but in the weeeee hours at night, I was busy working on some journal pages.

You are one buzy bee! Oh my gosh...I need to rest after only peeking at all that work. BUT, look at all your results! I love your turle friend. I love the wide open expanse of your home. I love all of your pages, which by the way, I think you teach a class on. And, I am so glad to pop over and visit today.

You really do keep busy don't you? I did nothing this weekend - my studio is once again a mess and I am trying to motivate myself to clean it. *sigh*
Ooooh, I love the pink sneaks! Mr. Snapper probably made his way up to check those babies out :)
Your yard looks beautiful-I guess rain is good sometimes huh?
Glad you had a great weekend!
I used to have a pair of purple high top converse that you couldn't get me out of... (younger days)

I can't resist commenting one more time. You've broght back some fantastic memories for me when I use to drive tractor and set irrigation tubes. Those are two things I miss a lot. Thanks for sharing the story about the turtle and getting him back to the creek.

I think I may have to come live next to you! ☺
