At 7:50am on December 23, 2009, Mel said…: OOOOh! Just looked on my page and saw you got the bits of fall I sent! Glad you like it. I know the colors won't last forever, but I save some too. I have a ceramic jar full of leaves from years ago, and the mostly keep their color, just get vaguely browner. I didn't press the batch I sent you long enough so they are lumpy under the laminate. Oh well. What if I modge podged some of them onto paper? Will they still crumble? I was also looking at acrylic stuff to try and catch some tiny ones forever. I think I may have gone around the bend this year. I have a huge box full of leaves I can't return to the yard. What would a shrink say about me trying to stop time? Hope your Christmas is whatever you need it to be. I want peace and quiet, and maybe to be left alone for a day or two to watch tv and read or write. Bad Mom!

At 2:54pm on December 14, 2009, Mel said…: All I can say is wow. Beautiful card, I love love love the scanner art, thank you so much!

At 8:12pm on December 7, 2009, Mel said…: Love your new outfit in the picture! Thanks for the lovely vista you left on my page, so glad you had a nice trip. been trying to respond to you but ning mail down for 2 days, odd. I'll keep trying, though. Welcome back!

At 7:33am on November 2, 2009, Mel said…: Ha ha, just found out you got those leaves from you tube! I had other vids, so I posted a second for you. I thought you just got the stills from my blogger blog, though I didn't recognize the one on your screen. How do you take stills from you tube? I'm still trying to remember how to take a screen shot from my own pc. duh. anyway, enjoy my fall, i'm taking a zillion pics, posting the best here and there. Don't blog much here anymore, not sure why.. I have one more series to share with you - wait - lemme get one -there its uptop and its one tree, every freaking color. I'm thinking about a vid montage of my fall on youtube - in my spare time - HA!

At 8:41pm on November 1, 2009, Mel said…: My leaves and I are honored! Glad you visited my other home away from home. I'm really getting scattered on the world wide web, still haven't found the host site that says this is it. I wish wish wish the picture looked as good as in real life. Or maybe I'm just altered and think everything looks more amazing than the camera shows? Is it scary that I've taken about 1500 pictures since June? Is it scarier that I keep score?
Hope you're fitting some art time into your days!

At 6:34pm on October 4, 2009, thefirstofmany said…: OK, I can't figure out how to PM you!! Man oh man, I've gone techno stupid? Maybe it's a "friends" thing -- well, I've friended you and we'll see what happens.

At 12:07am on September 30, 2009, LAly said…: Sooo ... I want to make a thread here on the ning about the stuff with my mom but it appears the gerd group has too many folks I don't know. I just don't want people I've never had contact with to have access to this stuff. I'd make it on my page but I really don't want ALL of my ning friends to have access to it. Any suggestions? I was thinking a temporary private group but I'd feel badly for making yet another page on the ning for folks to have to check!

At 1:53pm on September 20, 2009, Mel said…: stalker alert, I just read your comment to E and am so happy for your new/old bike acquisition! There is nothing like a simple, sturdy bike with a basket! One of the state parks by my mom has bikes for loan ie free to ride the sandy trails and they were like riding a cadillac, smooth, sturdy, uncomplicated. i felt free for the first time in years. Now I covet one, and am sad i bought one with 8 more speeds than I know how to use that hurts my butt to boot - What i really want is the red one at the park. And to feel the wind in my hair as I pedal, free as a bird, without a thought in my head or a care in the world. Sigh.
you have a bike with a basket, I have equal amounts of joy and envy!

At 11:57am on September 20, 2009, Evangeline said…: Tango Banana! A hah! Almost...though. I am PMing you the real deal. ;)

A bike! How cool! And $15= awesome.

At 10:07am on September 20, 2009, Evangeline said…: Good morning!
We have an art emergency that I posted about in the Art Nerd Thread. Your halp would be much appreciated if you have any ideas. :)

Hope your Sunday morning is good. I am lazing about, getting caught up on the computer and doing some art journaling. I'm taking a new class with Julie Prichard and it looks quite promising. Already learned something new -ghost writing using glazing medium on top of acrylic. Who knew?! There is also a free watercolour class that I am trying to kinda follow along with, although I know watah-colahs are not really for me. You have to work too clean and precise, and that is simply beyond me most days. But I can still dabble and play around with them a bit. They were the first type of painting I was ever interested in (until I found out about the pesky clean and precise thing!). I made a set of Pirates of Penzance paper dolls with them back in the day...NERDY, nerdy, nerdy.

The boys are doing well. The beginning of grade 4 has definitely been less stressful for them than the beginning of grade 3 (when I had to pick L up from school every day, because he was fainting from anxiety!). I think it is because of all the extra help and accommodation they are getting (mom's hard work pays off, yay!). The health stuff for the DH is still up in the air. More appointments at the end of the month. Trying not to think about it, like Scarlett.

How's about you?
