Happy Canada Day... yesterday.

I was home from work... and it felt like playing hookey. Here it was Wednesday... and hubby and I were home. ahhhhh. I could get used to that lifestyle. It poured last night, so we didn't go to the park for the fireworks. Instead, we parked in the driveway of our work, which is a few blocks away from the fireworks, and sat in the car. So... It wasn't as good.. but it was nice. Since we were going to be in the car... we brought Beauregard. Well... tomorrow, I'll post the pictures of him. Um... of half of him. The half that was sticking out from under my seat. Too fat to get the rest of him under there, he was wedged in pretty good. Let's just say that Bearegard doesn't like big bangs.

Layouts

Layout. I had this picture of my son from last summer. One of his friends took it, and I love it. The sun that is on him, is a natural element. It's not fabricated in any way. It was beaming through an opening in the trees. It looks like it's almost bouncing off of him. I love it.

So this is the layout that I made from it...

Altered Canvas - A Gift

I did this canvas for the family of the little Grade 9 girl who was killed 2 weeks ago at my son's school. It's a size 12 x 16, I think. I loved this picture of her.
