T is for P: Pizza, a Peacock, a Pocket Letter

It's T-day again over at Elizabeth's blog where we all post something related to drinks.  Today my drink is a Sparkling Ice drink which my daughter and I love.  Here we are at her new house eating a wonderful pizza from Fox's Pizza (half chicken rancher and half pepperoni) and sharing an Ice drink (we are sitting in the couch out of the camera's eye of course.  The drink was appropriate as it was like ice in her house as she never had her gas turned on and we had a cold snap.   

Here is what the drink looks like prior to opening. 

After we ate pizza she convinced me to go to the Art Guild and see the local art displayed there.  This was my favorite piece they were displaying.  The artist was there and we talked to her a bit.  She tried to convince me to come this Saturday and do their Art Walk.  Evidently you sign up and they give you a package of art supplies.  You walk around downtown and draw/paint something.  Then they display all the art during the next week. I am not sure I will go, but maybe.....

Saturday, I went to a crop at my Aunt Joan's.  I worked on several cards and a new pocket letter.


This is made with Close to My heart papers and images other than the headline and two other outside banners which I printed on my computer.  The rolled roses in the bottom left were ones I did years ago and had sitting in a jar. I painted all the flowers with my finger as I forgot to bring a brush - lol.

Hope the weather is lovely wherever you are - here is cold - too cold for us and too cold for Spring. 

Hugz and Happy T-day. 

Nancy

    I hope the old superstition about peacock feathers is wrong, for the sake of whoever buys that interesting art work!

    That pizza looks SOOOOOO good. And I have stupid potatoes in the pan.
    Oh, lucky you!
    That art walk sounds interesting, I hope you go.
    Beautiful cards.
    With your finger?! That works?
    To cold here, also. But have a nice T-day anyways, hugz
    P.S. horrible. Only 15 days and not in a row?! Is that legal?

      My finger work, but I have to tell you I got some really crazy looks from the others! I couldn't get it exact as you will see, but then it worked well plus I did a light touch on most of them. Yes 15 days and not in a row is very legal. Many places only allow two weeks. In another few years, I would get another week added. At my previous job, I got 5 weeks but that was after 19 years and I was much higher up.

    Good morning, your pizza looks so good-I need to made us one soon. I keep that ice drink around all the time here-no sugar or salt added and they always taste good too with many flavors to choose from.
    That art walk sounds interesting and could be a fun way to create art. If you go share some photos. Happy T and Happy Spring

    Congrats on your daughter having a new house. From the little peek we saw it looks lovely. And that pizza looks delicious. I want some now, even if it is breakfast time. Smile. I like the idea of the art show and how you get your work shown. It sounds like it could be fun. Happy T day Nancy. And happy spring to you also. Did you ever go to Connecticut for work? Hugs-Erika

      I did go to Connecticut for work and got to meet with the DRS Designs owners. It was a lovely trip and it was so beautiful there! My next trip is California - haven't been there in 35 years!

    Blessings to your daughter and all who enter her home. The Sparkling Ice Drinks are delicious. Looks like you had a fun and productive time at the Crop. After snow the weekend before, we are finally getting a little taste of Spring. Sunshine, not a lot of wind, and temps in the 50s. Short lived as a cold front is coming through tomorrow with rain for Thurs. Happy T Day

    The art walk sounds like fun and interesting and somehow I think this will be perfect for you. It is a lovely idea anyway, no matter whether yoyu go or not, as it might motivate to do just that and get a little creative.

    I have several of those Ice drinks in my fridge. I love them. Your daughter's new hoe looks lovely, at least the snippet we got to see! Your pizza looks good, too. Lots of tasty ingredients on it.

    That is a beautiful peacock. I have no idea what may is referring to, but I sure like that beauty. You should go on Saturday and get free art supplies, too (grin),

    I love those flowers you colored for your pocket letter. I can't believe you colored those using your finger. Even your finger is talented!!!

    Thanks for sharing your art, the art in town, your daughter's new home, the pizza, and your Ice with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    I like the peacock picture very much - especially because of the idea of draping the feathers all around. The Art Walk also sounds exciting - I'm curious if you do it.
    All the best and have a nice weekend!
    Hugs, Traude 😘

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy
