PAINTED PAPER & A COUPLE GUYS

PAINTED PAPER : Painted with a brush , gold, blue , dark red paint. Used some punchanella, to make those little circles, not a good job, but then in altered art what is a good job. There is some stamping, then I sprayed some blue paint and mushed it around a bit. These papers are done in my learning journal, as I am learning how to do this stuff.

PAINTED PAPER : Painted with an old credit card, then I use some mesh ribbon to make the cross hatch marks. I used a scrunched up ball of wax paper to make some gold splash marks. This is a page in my learning journal. Its not finished I want to do some stamping on it and then it will be ready to embellish and journal on.

PAINTED PAPER : This one was also painted with a credit card. Green, blue, and gold were the colors used. While it was still wet I used the bottom of two different sized paint bottles to make the circles. This one is not finished yet either, not sure what I want to add to it yet. Maybe stamps.

PAINTED PAPER: This is the last one I did today, it was painted with the credit card again using black and white paint. It is pretty bold so I am not sure what to do with it.

GUY # 1 : These are two guys I met yesterday while shopping at Old Time Pottery. If I had a printer I would print them out and use them as back grounds in my altered art. I thought they were pretty cool looking. They are large sun made of metal to hang on the wall. I would use them out side here in FL. I was just looking to see what new they were getting in for spring, did not buy anything.



GUY #2

WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL: Temp 65 with sun and wind. But still a great day. Especially when looking at the rest of the country's weather.

Went to the gym today, I only went 3 days this week, I hurt something last week so I am cooling it down this week and doing my workout with less weight. I think was in too big a hurry. Today it went much better. Picked up a few things at WM what would we do with it. WM that is.

Found out why Maggie has been acting so strange, this morning after our walk, I looked at her hip and found another hot spot. I was not there yesterday. I have been after her all day to leave it alone, which being a dog, she just wants to lick it to death and that is what makes it worse. I sure wish I knew what was causing these .

Tomorrow I am taking her and going to some yard sales and do a couple geocaches. She misses her "ride in the truck". At home she was used to taking at least one ride a day. Not now.

That's it for now, thanks for looking and come back soon

Blessings

WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL. Nice today. 70's sunny and warm.

Well I finally did it! Signed up at Planet Fitness on Friday. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time, years in fact. Back in 03 when I was in auto accident and had to go for therapy I

just continued on with the gym for about a year. Then for some stupid reason I quit. Dumb, because I never felt better as when I was going to gym. LOL , boy did I notice a big difference from before and now. Big fat belly gets in the way when on some of the machines! Any way I am committed for 1 year. Losing weight is another goal for this year. But need to get this going right now. By the way this place is really cheap ! $10 a month, back in PA where I lived it was $55 a mon. and that was a senior discount! Not a Planet Fitness there.

Been working on my art every day, here is a pic of some painted paper I made this week. I just use my acrylic paint I had from before, and made it using the Best By add in the Sunday paper.

I learned that from ready my art blogs, you can make hand painted paper for your altered art using any kind of paper. I made a few more pages in my Junk Journal, I will post soon. I found a rolling wire cart at a yard sale yesterday 5 bucks. I plan on using it to go back and forth from Florida / art room to my room in the house. When its too hot or too cold I can not work out there. So I will take the cart to where ever ,filled with what I am working on. I would love to have A/C out there because its more hot than cold. A few days in Dec. & Jan. that's all the cold here.

I went to an art show this AM over at the beach. Lot of nice booths, forgot my camera. After that I walked on the beach for awhile, seen a guy using a metal detector and stopped to talk with him. As we were talking I was not paying attention and big wave came in and got me wet from the knees down, was a little cold but not bad. The guy was telling me he just got started beach combing not finding much .. But he did say a fellow out there yesterday found 5 rings. I have always wanted to do that. When my kids were little I got them one for Christmas one time, we had fun with that. I think that will be something for the future when I have "EXTRA" LOL money.

The cache of the day is one found last week at a toy store. Was pretty easy to find, had to wait out a employee muggler, gathering up shopping carts. My GPS was off a little but I found it!

Off to watch my STEELERS Beat the crap outa the black birds LOL

Well that's all for now thanks for stopping and looking.

blessings to all

Donna & Maggie too.

Geocache and Toruist

ERIE EXTENSION CANAL LOCK # 10

LOCK FROM THE PARKING AREA

LOCK CLOSE UP WATER

USE TO FLOW THRU THIS

Well I have been thinking about things that I would blog about while traveling full time in an RV.

I know its going to be awhile so got to thinking about if I were passing thru this town what would be of toruist type intrest here. When I went to a town about 13 mi. away (Sharpsville PA) looking for a geocache I found a very toruist area that I never knew was there, and I have lived here all my life. I found the cache and then looked around. This #10 lock is the last you can see along the Shenango River in N West Pa. it was part of the Erie Extension Canal. This town made a nice little park here and you can also go fishing in the river. You can see the river flowing beside it in the second pic. The canal went from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. For more info you can google the Erie Extension Canal. This is just an added fun time to Geocaching. I think I will be posting a few more things around Mercer Co. as I find them.

THE HOUSE! Well I would say we got the house 3/4 finished. Hope to finish this weekend as

it will be in the 60's and no rain. I finaly feel like major progress has been made takeing me closer to my new adventure. My first travel adventure will be this coming Jan. 2010 ( no rv yet)when I go to stay with my dad in FL for a few months. I plan on blogging about my travels and time there.

well thats all for now
