I love that Kaleigh is artsy like me. She just finished up a 4-week art class. She made some super cute projects while learning different art lessons such as the color wheel, warm and cool colors, etc.
Her collage canvas titled *Kaleigh's Garden*. Can you see the tomatoes and watermelon? ;)
Acrylic painting of a kitty cat. I framed it to hang in her room.
Her snail and ladybug clay sculptures and her ladybug rock
I made these two digi layouts this evening.
I created this one for a challenge at Purple Paper Flowers.
And this one I created for a challenge at Weeds and Wildflowers Design.
I picked up my order from the Scrapfreak store last weekend and finally unpacked it today. I hadn't been in the mood for much of anything this week with the loss of my kitty but unpacking this stuff today made me happy. I can't wait to play! Some of it is for my class I'm teaching at Freak next month, some of it is DT stuff, and the rest is stuff I couldn't pass up. ;)
Speaking of class, my friend and fellow DT member, Bree, is teaching a super cute mini-album class this month at Scrapfreak. You should check it out! And keep an eye out for my August class reveal on August 1!
Sad day here today. I had to have my cat, Wyndle, put down. He's been sick the past few weeks and getting worse each day and the vet couldn't tell what was wrong. It was a tough decision but for the best. He was suffering and I couldn't bear it any longer. I got to be with him during the procedure and afterwards we buried him at my parents'.
A little background on Wyndle... I have a younger sister who passed away from cancer in 1999. On her first birthday that year after she passed, I went to our local animal shelter to adopt a kitten. My sister always wanted to name a pet Wyndle so when I adopted a cute orange and white male kitten, I named him Wyndle to honor her memory. So tonight my sister finally got a kitty named Wyndle and is taking care of him for me.
My heart is broken but I have many special memories of him (and lots of pictures to prove it). Here is my favorite picture of him, taken 3 years ago this month.
I'll miss you, sweet boy.
The clouds were so cool today. All big and fluffy and even a few dark ones mixed in. I wish there weren't so many buildings, houses, and power lines around today. I could have gotten some cooler shots. And I missed an AWESOME sunset. :( We were coming out of a restaurant at dinnertime and the sun was glowing behind some big thunderheads. I wish I had had my camera on me. Oh well. But here are my favorites from earlier today.
Here's the sunset. There's no glow around the edge of the clouds like I first saw but it's still kinda cool.
I hope everyone had a wonderufl July 4th holiday. I'm so thankful for our servicemen who serve and protect our country. God bless you all!
Here are some fun shots I got of the fireworks. But first my beautiful little girl. :)
