#31 - Work of Art

I just wanted to share a piece of art work that I had made in high school. It's done with black color pencil. I've always loved it.

It's from a photograph in a magazine (like a National Geographic). I had blown up the picture and made an outline. I think it's a beautiful picture. I wish I had this kind of talent naturally.

#30 - Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

I thought I would share my diamonds. I don't have many, just these two pieces. The rings are my engagement and wedding rings. I picked them out. The necklace was my Christmas gift this past year from Ed. He put them in my stocking along with a letter from Santa. It explained why I deserved coal. Then, there was a post-it from Santa saying he accidentally sat on the coal in the sleigh and created the diamonds.

I love them!

#29 - Bored??

Try these board games! These are 2 of my favorites and we play them often. Ticket to Ride (or the Train Game, as we call it) is pretty easy to understand and play. Settlers of Catan is more involved but tons of fun when you get the hang of it. It will keep you thinking and laughing!..."anyone got any sheep??"

#28 - Out Front

Since I took a picture off my deck I figured I should post one from our front window. Our bedroom is right over our garage, so that's why most of the photo is of our crazy driveway. You would be surprised how many people have problems backing out... our poor grass gets rolled over quite a bit!

#27 - Out Back

We don't have a traditional backyard. Most of our yard is on the side of our house. We have this second story deck off our dining room (we have a split level house). This is a photo off of our deck, there's also a retaining wall just past the deck (you can't see it), this is why it seems so high up.

#26 - The View From Up Here

Here's Samus again! So, we have a stack of tubs and boxes in our office. She likes to chew on boxes and packing tape, so I put a blanket on the box so she won't eat the tape.... now she thinks she's supposed to sleep there. She's there most of the day... what an odd one.

#25 - M is for Monkey

When Ed and I got married we had 2 little sock monkey key chains as a part of a gift. I didn't know what to do with them so I clipped them to the light chain in our closet. We see them every day now. The other monkey is orange and hiding behind the blue monkey.
