slopes or brushes
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 5:00PM 
big girly and the boys chose the slopes yesterday.
with all that snow… i think it was a good choice.
laughed when i saw this pic… so funny!
i am always WAY too chicken to get my camera out while on the lift.
big chicken!
something about the whole stability factor while up so darn high.
i must say… it is really neat to have a ski slope in town…
just a twenty minute drive up the mountain and you’re there.
so while they “sloped” it…
lil bit… granma… and i… painted it.
a neat little spot in town with lots of creative outlets.
like a sign in her shop says…
”cheaper than therapy… and a whole lot more fun”… cute!
it was fun!
i have to admit though…
i always get “brain tied”… you know like tongue tied…
there are SO many options… SO many different things you can paint…
i get flustered with all the choices.
it should be neat to see how they turn out once they’re “cooked” in the kiln.
just love how it makes the colors comes alive.
today…
their uncle toby and their granma are headed out.
now what?
do you ever feel a bit of that once your company leaves?
the house seems quieter… well sort of… the kids ARE still here.
i AM looking forward to the rest of this week…
lots planned!
a few things off the top of my head…
catch up all my treasured friend’s blogs… i am missing out on some GOOD STUFF!
and speaking of good stuff… caught this last night… wasn’t even aware of it…
{shoot}…
i hope we can still add blogs to that list…
unbelievable all the GREAT ones out there!
amazes me constantly!
i am REALLY looking forward to peeking at those ALL the nominated blogs…
and VOTING too!
return emails… way behind… sorry!
get out the paints in the studio for some painting free for all… wheeeee!
ponder my new year’s WORD!
what i want… need… where i want to focus… where i want my heart to BE.
sign up for this… can’t wait!
finish all the pieces i started for her awesome class.
that should at least give me a kick start!
only two days left in 09…
wow!
here’s to relaxing & soaking in all those last tasty morsels…
AND jumping high for that finish line!

I know what you mean....I sometimes get overwhelmed too, of what to create.
cute pics, though! And can't wait to see what you did end up painting! I spied a little heart with wings. :D
Happy New Year, sweetie!
Here's to another! :D

Looks you all have been having a wonderful holiday break! Seeing your photos of the pottery studio takes me back. I worked as a manager and a buyer for 6 years at a local shop. Yikes! That feels like a million years ago. Once that initial shock is over with, painting on pottery is so very therapeutic. I must say I miss it just a bit. I loved the links you included in your post. I'm loving the reduce clutter in your life challenge, and I think I'm going to join in.
Oh I know how you feel when the house is just the fam. again! Wishing you Buckets of giddy moments, good health, belly laughter that makes you cry, quite time to reflect, tons of creativity and much much more! Happy New Year Friend,
xoxo,

sounds fun, all you have lined up! great pictures too
many blessing for the new year to come!
I signed up for the Reduce Clutter Create Space 2010 Challenge! What a fantastic idea and exactly what I've been concentrating on! Looks like you guys had a great time! I love love love painting pottery- it's so exciting seeing the final product- you will have to post pics!
One of my favorite things to do is go to one of those pottery places. It's so fun to create something and then when they fire it it just takes on such a different more polished look. I love it! But I get ya with it being overwhelming, especially because you have a limited time and it's pretty expensive. Sure looked like fun!
such fun. we played in the snow and took my little guy sledding for his first time. we also made a snowman. it was magical. happy creating and stay warm!
that snow looks AWESOME!!!!
Oh so fun! you'll have to show us how the pieces look when they are done!!
so much fun! both the snow and the painting. have a great new year!
