When I lost my job, I forgot about these paintings for awhile. Looking for something else in my iPhoto collection, I ran across them again and thought they were just too precious to not post and write about my little artists. I taught the 4 year olds class and some of my artists turned 5 this fall. They loved to paint. Sometimes I suggested something like the penguin theme and these are a few of them. They had nothing to look at -- just reminders from the books I had read or the penguin games they played. I think they did pretty good!
I like the abstract penquin, the third one. I still have some of my sons' artwork hanging on the cellar door which is always open, so it's on permanent display.
You really are getting into the bloggin, it is fun.
Nice to hear from you again. Thought maybe no one bothered to come back since I made changes.
I really don't know how to develop the site -- just experimenting with old html I rememebr. I have written off and on for over a year now. This morning I thought I had nothng to say and then I ran across the photos in iPhoto.
I wish my page didn't take so long to downlaod. . . but that 's what happens when I put lots of photos on it , I presume. I love my leaves photo on the left column -- thought it would make a thumbnail out of it but instead it made it tall and slender.
I have no idea who blogs at Tnet. . . besides Chloe. Julie says she dos but she only sent me her yahoo site and I don't want to sign up for more mail.
I have to find my snow quotes that I wrote down somewhere. They will fill up the left column! lol
I remember the first blog I saw was one a high school kid did with his digital camera photos -- son of a teacher at Tnet. Then Chloe said she was going to do it about her knitting and I decided to do one too because I like to write. ( I started a website a long time ago with a few essays but I forgot the password so can't work on it now. Maybe one day.). That was a year ago in March.
Thanks for checking in on mine. I read yours also but I don't quite understand the 13 thing.
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration. Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.
