Summer!

SUMMER!

Yeah for Summer!

Three cheers for summer!

OK so a few blogs ago I waxed on and on about this amazing run I went on with friends and guess what? There is a grizzly bear hanging around there! Jack, who was running with us, said he smelled it. I did not know grizzies smelled, but there you go!

Pretty crazy. Pretty weird, and I am pretty darn glad I didn't see it! A friend of mine was running up there a few days later and she said she ran right by it and saw it! and this is the same bear that tracked a man for a mile! This is very scary. The trails we were on are VERY popular so it is surprising to hear this!

So yesterday a couple of us went up Philips Canyon Which was really amazing! I didn't get any pictures, but there were amazing views of the valley, amazing views of Driggs and a lot of uphill! Loved it!

In other news art school is calling my heart....the problem is there isn't an art school here, anywhere!

More later!

Rainy, Flue Day!

Yep it is a rainy/ snowy day and little M has the flue! Up all night with multiple trips to the toilette to be support, which means I will get sick soon...such is life!

Here is a picture from a few days ago, when it was sunny, of my favorite sign in Jackson. It is really old and makes me smile!

Have a great day, I will not let rain and flue slow me down!

Weekend!

One of the things I LOVE about Jackson is all the amazing trails right in town!

So yesterday my running friends and I went all over the Cache trail system. Everything was blooming and we had a killer view of the Tetons.

Friday night we went to the Spud Drive in in Driggs and watched Pirates, Long and boring was my take!

Saturday Cleaned out the garage, on going in our house, and went over for a cozy fire to a neighbors. Really fun night!

We are ready for our last Monday of school before summer!

Woo-Hoo

More Oil Pastels!!!

Here is some more oil Pastels fun.

I sealed it with the Utrecht gloss medium which is really fun stuff for collaging, as a sealant for acrylic paintings and it is cheaper than the golden brand (I do love golden acrylics too!)

Sorry the picture is so fuzzy.. I am still working out the camera kinks!

Bella the challenge for you in the next few days is when that beautiful baby is sleeping to bust out your pastels and do a quick pastel of your sleeping babe! Nothing perfect, just loose and beautiful!

Heather T. my challenge to you is to grab yourself a set if you don't already have one and draw/ trace/ photo copy something simple and have fun, while your new babe is sleeping!

Anybody else reading pick up the challenge and post a comment with a picture. should be cool!

CREATE!

ooooh...... Fun With Oil Pastels!

So I busted out the old OIL PASTELS today and drew a grapefruit. I had so much fun playing and playing for over an hour!

I fallowed the "Tiplets" from Kal's site...check her out she is so fabulous!

6 more days left of school! Wooo Hooo

Have a great night!

Memorial Day !!!

What a fun weekend! It didn't snow which was awesome and it was even hot! We were surprised!

We went climbing at one of our fav spots! It is way out in the middle of no-where southern Idaho outside of Burly. It is called City of Rocks State Park. It is beautiful granite everywhere!

All five of us climbed up to the top of Elephant Rock! So fun!

This is what I did the other morning. I really like it.
