Summercrafter

After running out of ideas, NOT! Here are some bulletin boards I made based on photos I took. Now, don't think, for a moment, that I staged these pictures! Those birds just came and landed there after we admired the rock sitting their plainly. Birds on a Rock And this umbrella? Well, it's not even ours! We came out for the sunset, and there it was flapping in the wind trying to get away before the storm approached. Sigh.....I love watching a stormy sea. But only when I am on dry land with concrete shelter nearby, perhaps watching from the window? Stormy Umbrella

I really enjoyed being able to create at will over the two weeks of winter recess.  And I get such a kick out of seeing these ideas materialize right before my eyes.  Sometimes the result is exactly how I imagined, and other times it's so much better! Then of course, there are the duds that need revisiting and revamping until there is a WOW to them that pronounces them FINISHED!  Sometimes there is a quality that defines one's work or play. I find that I am most meticulous and detail oriented when I am creating. But now, here we go, back to work and my crafting energy has been zapped. I have, however, started the Summer countdown, at least mentally. There are all sorts of things to plan until then: birthday celebrations (smaller scale than parties) maybe a decent Valentine's -- a day of historical humdrum for years and years ! An Anniversary of somewhat significance should conjure up some memorable event, place or outing. Summer Vacation!! My Summer ...
