Paint Party Friday - Vacation Thoughts

This is a water colour pencil sketch done in my art journal (5"h x 7"w). I'm thinking warm vacation thoughts! Happy PPF!

Study Break

During his study break last week, son K went shopping at a new outlet mall with a couple of his friends. He came back with this shiny new Coach wallet proclaiming it to be a good deal at $40. It was regularly $90. His friends bought them too. Coach has succeeded in their premium pricing strategy! It is an attractive wallet.

Yogurt and Berries

Yes, it's been snowing AGAIN!

This a favourite (and healthy) snack of mine lately. It's peach-flavoured yogurt with fresh blackberries.

 On the subject of berries, I recently discovered that the eggplant is a member of the berry family.  It's also related to the tomato and potato. It's also a close relative of tobacco.

Funny

Daughter L will be done school in a couple of months.  It is time to start thinking about moving all her stuff back home.  Four years has gone by in a blink, it seems like just yesterday that I was planning her move to school. The beauty of this blog is that I was able to look back 4 years and find the post I made about the move to university!

I thought this was funny when I came across it the other day, so I saved it for you!

Crap Notepaper

On the weekend, I put all my winter flower arrangements away and replaced them with my spring flower arrangments.  It's my effort to hurry the spring season along!  Otherwise it was a pretty quiet weekend.  Did you watch any of the Oscars last night?  Some of the gowns were stunning.  I particularly liked Goldie Hawn's gown.  

Son K had a study week off at his college and is back at school today.  He came home with this notepaper page one day. A friend said her mom gave her the notepad because she thought it was funny.  It is, isn't it?

Sunday Sketches - March

This piece celebrates the month of March! It's done in my art journal in watercolour pencils (7"h x 5"w). I was inspired by some flowers I saw in a store the other day. Happy Sunday Sketches, thanks to Alexandra for always hosting no matter how busy she gets. She has a new website now so you can find her here.

Toasted Tomato Sandwich

It's March! 

McDonald's has been having free coffee all week, so I'm all caffeined out!  It ends on Sunday.

I made some hamburgers the other day and had a lot of tomato slices left over, so I've been having them with buttered toast for breakfast. It's delicious, have you ever had a toasted tomato sandwich? It's a great idea if you are vegetarian too.
