Creative Tuesday #8 - Easter

Here's my contribution to Creative Tuesday's Easter theme. Please join in the fun, you don't have to be a real artist and everyone improves with practice.



Here's the original Cadbury 'Fruit and Nut' bar inspiration. I quickly drew my sketch before it disappeared! You can't take chances like that around our house.

Earth Hour

I walked to church this weekend. The priest gave a most serious homily addressing all the recent front page media about the priestly scandals. He resented that it was front page news but at the same time apologized and was ashamed at their behaviour and went so far as to say they should be removed from their duties. He reminded us that the upcoming Good Friday is a day of fasting and no meat.

On Saturday night, we turned off all the lights at 8.30pm to observe Earth Hour, but we kept the TV on because we were in the middle of watching 'So you think you can dance' and we wanted to see Kate Gosselin. She wasn't very good, but the judges were kind to her. And she's good for the ratings I heard.

One step spice blend

The other night I was looking for a quick way to prepare a package of Tiger shrimp that I had bought. I had this one step spice blend from Clubhouse called 'garlic plus' that I've hardly used and decided to simply shake some over the shrimp and saute in canola oil for about 4 minutes per side. They were delicious and perfectly cooked in their shells. They suggest using the spice blend for garlic bread and roast vegetables, so I'm going to try doing those sometime.

The Trappings of Fame

I saw the movie 'The Blind Side' with Sandra Bullock recently and loved it, although it makes you teary-eyed in a good way.

K and I are fans of Justin Bieber. He's developed a lot under Usher's guidance. I think he might be the next Justin Timberlake, and I think he has a great voice. He has all the right moves and fits the teen idol profile perfectly. K told me Usher gave Bieber a Ferrari and he has started taking driving lessons because he's now 16. There is absolutely no privacy in the internet age, you can see everything on youtube, including him learning to drive. Oh, the trappings of fame.

Try this neat colour test.
