The summer of 2009

August 2009

So much time has past since my last post and so many things have taken place.

I met this girl Dawn last Aug/Sept and when she came across this artist retreat called Art Unraveled she passed the info on to me and I decided it was time I took some time to be away from home and do some art with other artists.

My work table since I've been home
The top of my table that I refer to as my desk

On one of the days I wasn't somewhere doing art, Dawn took me to the Phoenix Art Museum

To see more photos of my trip to AZ check out Dawns blog

Her photos and ability to keep track of all we did is pretty amazing.

Thank you Dawn

July 2009

While we had Mikes brother and his two children for a week at our house, one of the first things we did was go to a family run circus : ) was a lot a fun and a good way to start off our silly week.

A quick pose with Auntie Lisa

Way to go girls!

I know this was a terribly long post, but felt I needed to get it all in before summer ran out on me : ) June was a great month for Hannah & I

July was a fantastic month for Mike and all the kids in our life

August in Arizona ... LoL was warm I do have to say though...I was not too bothered by the heat, the art kept my attention.

Hope your summer is going well. School starts Thursday here for us, so I know my day time arting hours will be back soon.

Hugs to you all
