Scavenger Hunt Sunday...

Hello my Friends.
I am back with my Scavenger hunt photos
for this week..  When I first read the prompts I thought these
seem pretty easy..  Well did I think wrong.. Boy did I have
a tough time this week..  I guess that is what makes it fun.
Makes your really stop and think.  Maybe to much!

Well here we go..


FACIAL FEATURES


Believe it or not I had fun with this shot. It was either a shot of
my facial features or my cats.
So I gave the cats the day off.  Hee Hee
But one thing I would like to know is where the
heck did those wrinkles come from. I don't see them in my mirror..
 Well lets just call them laugh lines not wrinkles. OK..




SHADOW
The weather was so beautiful this weekend I decided to ride my bike to
the park and try to find a shadow.  Not crazy about the shadows I found.


SHADOW #2
Another shot still not to excited about it!  
But that's what I got so that what you get to see..





SPICY

If this isn't spicy I don't know what is..




GOLD
I just love this happy golden sun face..  He makes me smile!






FABRIC


Nothing more comfy than an old pair of jeans with my
favorite pair of chucks on!!  As you know both are made from
Fabric! :)




Well that all I have for this weeks hunt.
If you would like to see what everyone else found
on the hunt you can head on over to Ashley's blog


I do hope you are having a nice weekend. 

Thanks so much again for stopping by.
You guys always make me feel so loved with all 
your sweet comments. 

Hugs, Linda

Thank You!

I just wanted to pop in and say
Thanks so much for all your
get well wishes.  I am feeling much better!
I might even get out and about this weekend..





For our Beyond Layers class, Kim has challenged us to make a
homemade back drop or to find some natural light.
 After making my backdrop I had a tough time trying to
find something to photograph.  When all else fails put something
on a open book!  I know it's a little simple and that OK by me!

I put the words lost in a dream cause that is how I felt most of
the week when I was on cold medicine.   I am so glad I feel better.



I do hope you have a wonderful weekend..

Hugs,  Linda

My Head is a Fog...


I hate to say it, But I am still not feeling the best.  As much as
I am trying to fight this cold, It is fighting me right back.
I have been getting lots of rest.. Drinking plenty of fluids.
Zoning out on cold medication..
And I still don't feel well.  And the sad part is that
I have had no time to play in my craft room at all..
I guess its a good think I got my CCCB project done early!





But I have been laying on the couch play with photos.
This is my story board for my Beyond Layers class
with Kim Klassen. They were looking for photos of our day.
Well my days lately are pretty ugly.
I think these tell a much better story.
A story about another journey I am on!
A creative Journey.



********



Over a City Crafters there is a fun challenge
going on..   Ros our host this week wants us to use
the colors of the Rainbow..  So I took that literally.




I created this "She Art Gal"
Standing under a Rainbow. 



I cut all the colors of the rainbow out of scrapbook paper. .
Then stitched them together..



I had found the perfect quote to go along with this.
I just love it.

To get all the detail on this challenge you can head on over to
City Crafters Challenge Blog.

Thank so much for stopping by.
All your comments mean so much to me.

Hugs, Linda

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

It's that time of the week again to show you
what I found on my Hunt ..

Some of these photos were taken in Portland OR.
If you happened to miss my last post
there are more shot from our visit there..

So without further ado here are my photos
for this week.




Strike a pose

OK, I know what your thinking...This isn't strike a pose.
But this tree is posing for me... Right
  My daughter used to do all my
posing for me but she's not here.
 I tried to talk the hubby into  posing for me
but he didn't want to play along with me!!
So you get a tree.






Footwear

I pulled this one out of the archives..
These tennies belong to my daughter..
You know the one that used to pose for me! Hee Hee..




Hobby

Wine tasting is a hobby.. RIGHT



Shiny
I drew a total blank on this prompt.
So I guess a shiny nickle will due..





Color me green

Believe it or not this is a garage door we saw down by
Cannon Beach.  I guess they needed a shortcut to get inside.
So they added a green door..  I think it made a cool photo!



Well there you have it..
Another hunt done.

And thanks so much for all you sweet comments..

So Happy!!

Hello my friends..
I am back from our fabulous trip to Oregon.
Sad to say I think I caught a bad cold while I was there.

I tried to get around to visit some of you yesterday but I found
it pretty hard to stay focused on anything..


I caught a photo of this little guy while on my trip.
He was so cute just hanging out all by himself..
I just know he was so happy because he was close to the 
ocean..  I know that always makes me happy..




I also have my project to share with you from 

This weeks challenge is brought to us 
by the sweet and talented Cheryl..

The theme is "You've got mail".
You have to use an envelope in your project.



So I decided to decorate an envelope.
I just love to decorate them all pretty
before I mail them out.  



This envelope has a lot of torn and cut paper
glued on..  And lots of stamping..
I had a lot of fun with this one.  You should come
on over and join in the fun..  I can't wait to see
all the different way you can use an envelope.

To get the details on this challenge you can pop on
over to City Crafter Challenge blog..


Here are a couple of photos of
my cutie pie Myles.  Boy do I miss him.
He still is the most happy little guy around.





Dad doesn't have to try to hard to get a smile.



Thanks so much my friends for all your kind comments.
I really do appreciate every one of them.

Till next time....

Hugs, Linda

Scavenger Hunt Sunday..

I have to start by saying I am so excited..
Right now as your reading this I am
in Portland visiting my Daughter and Son-inlaw
and one of my favorite little guys..
Yes,  Myles... My grandson..

I got my Scavenger Hunt photos done early this week.
So this is pre-posted..  I do hope you enjoy this weeks
photos.   I had fun collecting them..



SMILE
I grab this shot while I was out to lunch with my sister..
Just the sweet sight of this yummy strawberry made me
smile..




STAND ALONE
OK...  I know he is not standing alone,
But he is swimming alone!  That counts doesn't it.. 




RUSTY OR SOMETHING OLD

Nothing says Rusty and Old like an Old Rust Hing..





ARTIFICIAL
The minute I saw this prompt I thought of splenda
the artificial sweetener..  I just couldn't get a decent photo of a
splenda packet..  So this is the next thing that pop in to my
head..  Artificial flowers..




REPEATING PATTERNS
I had no idea what to do for this shot.. So your get to see my
 pencils all lined up..  I really don't know if it fits the prompt.
Oh well!!!


To see what all the other wonderful folks came up
with on the hunt you can go HERE!


I know I haven't been by to see everyone.
I did not take my computer..  I just wanted to make sure
I could get some good quality time in with my love ones.
I will be back home later today so hopefully I will get to
stop by and visit everyone.


Hugs,  Linda
