It is now 7:30am.Hubby gone to a breakfast meeting for work downtown so got up with him at 5 to have coffee and our morning chat (we love that part of our day)...I am a new Grandma today our youngest son and his wife, in Calgary had a beautiful baby girl. Chloe and she waited to be an acquarian like her Grandpa and Grandma Mann...how cool is that? Us Acquarians are a crazy bunch. (big smile).

I am sitting here thinking I will have to get back to my drawing.
Can't draw a straight line but my good friend Ana Tirolese taught a seminar in my studio a couple years ago and promised she could teach me...Needless to say I was a disbeliever but she did it...by grid and my excitement was uncontainable. I will put up some of my drawings today.
The first was my grandson and just couldn't believe it actually was just like him. Ana is an exceptional artist and a fantastic teacher and I consider it a privilege to have her as a friend.

Here it is!! Almost time to go and be there for my grandkids after school...and what did I do today? Well, played and had so much fun..
Went to Michaels for glue. Does one every come out of Michaels just getting what they went in for? I think not.
I have uploaded pictures of cards I made today...Lordy this is becoming habit forming....
Boy oh boy is it cold this morning. I opened the door to let the dog out and I really don't want to go out today (sigh) but I must do some errands and one being going to Michael's...hehehe that should warm me up.
I want to mail off my cards for the swap today and make some others to send also. What fun. Then I have to take pictures of my house and rooms to show my girlfriend tomorrow when I visit her (she can't get out) and she wants to see my new house and I must work on my oil painting for the online seminar we are doing. Of course that means I will have no time for housework .....bummer....... lol.
