On Rockefeller

A friend sent me some fake news on John D Rockefeller which made me go to wikipedia for the true information.  He was a remarkable man, such an impressive interesting story.  The fake news wasn't bad but it said he passed at 57 when in fact he passed at 97.  He is considered the wealthiest man of all time.  He made his fortune in oil and was a philanthropist focusing on improvements in medicine, education and science.  He was born into a poor family with a good mother and a shady vagabond of a father who was not home much of the time.  The father had 2 children with the housekeeper.

On Chair Socks

For me, bacon 4, eggs 3, coffee 4.  How about you?

Kay posted recently about finding chair socks which made me do some googling on what is available in that category.  It seems like something good for our chairs.  There are all sorts of leg covers at Amazon, Walmart and Etsy.  I imagine the dollar store has some too.
 

Paint Party Friday - Champagne Celebration theme

 Welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday.  I did a celebration themed ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 /12") in a mixed media format, on canvas paper.  The background is painted in white acrylic and the drawing is outlined with a PITT marker, coloured in with markers, including a gold sharpie water based marker.

This design will be great printed up as celebration themed cards.

Apologies if you have been receiving multiple comments from me I got a new phone and sometimes it doesn't appear as if my comment was successful. I blame blogger.

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Soft

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Soft' theme!  Here is my pink teddy bear ACEO (2 1/2' x 3 1/2"), what could be softer?  Painted on pink cardstock, he is outlined with a PITT marker and the background is in white acrylic.

Here is a quote to commemorate Remembrance Day today:

"Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die."

Milk and Good Sleep

 I like my coffee lighter, say D1 or D2.  How about you?

This is an interesting article that says drinking a glass of milk may help you sleep better rather than relying on a sedative.  It is a scientific study.  Food and gut health (carbs) can help you sleep.

A beautiful cake

 One of my sisters had a birthday in September and her family got together to celebrate.  Her adult kids got her very thoughtful gifts and they bought this fabulous cake.  It was layers of cake with hazelnut mousse covered with chocolate ganache.  At first I thought her daughter had made it, I was about to crown her best cake maker.  The cake looks larger than it is in this photo.
