Absent without Leave

Here it is the end of March and no blog posts this month!  What is wrong with me?  I think the winter has seemed so long and inspiration has waned.  Forgive me?

So when the well is dry...I go dig into some Kim Klassen fun!

She gave us this image to do with as we want (this is the original above).

I edited in Lightroom 5.3 and added Kim's texture Petra in hard light, soft light and added a wrinkled paper texture I purchased with a HUGE vintage bundle from Design Cuts.

Truthfully...I started a Becky Higgins' course, Project Real Life, that has taken a lot of my extra time.  I'll be sharing!  The Project Life bug has bit bad!

So on this cloudy, rainy, gray day...I'll continue to lay back (I'm on call this weekend) and see what other creative mischief I can get into while Ricky Skaggs plays in the background.

PS:  Feels good to get a post in...

A Quickie Post - Textured Tuesday

I have been totally enjoying Becky Higgins' course, Project Real Life...

This week we are to be pondering and photographing our gratitude (which we should be practicing daily)...

Yesterday, I sat on the bed and was so grateful for the birds at my feeders...

I love the softness that comes from having the window screens still in and combining that effect with Kim Klassen's texture "love."

And, of course, Mrs. Cardinal waits her turn...

How grateful I am for the gifts of nature just outside my window.
