Hi everyone!  I've been battling a migraine for the last couple days...Now, I desperately need to get caught back up with housework and gotta paint something!!  It's so strange how painting, for me, has become such a physical need!!  I don't know if it is the paints themselves(all those glorious colors), or the movement of the brushes on the canvas.  Heck, it could even be the process itself...I just know that too many days without painting makes me a little rough around the edges!  LOL   

The project list is growing, but, I keep getting distracted.  Summer has always been my favorite time of the year and I've seen some amazing beach themes, but, I am particularly zoning in on the Halloween art I've been seeing on eBay. Wow!! Seasonal themes have a special appeal to me.  I love to decorate the house, and completely get into each holiday...probably more so now that Ryan is getting old enough to be curious.  Ok, so trying to finish up my July ACEO swap cards, put some final touches on more of my Painted Palm cards, and working on a dozen or so canvases...I sure hope to list something by the end of the weekend!!  hehehehe

So, how ya doing with going green?  I'm ahead of schedule on the light bulb thing.  I got a pack of 4 at Wal-Mart for just under $8.00.  So, I'm half way to the 8 bulbs that I pledged.  You know, It's funny to try to turn on a light with the new bulb...I wasn't prepared for the little delay before it comes on...it's just a couple seconds.  I also figured out half a dozen things that I can unplug...until I need them.  I'm still following Robbie around the house, turning lights and TVs off!  Getting him to turn those off, might take a little longer than I thought!!  He has promised to give up his styrofoam plates and red plastic drink cups in favor of regular glasses and plates...even if I had to offer to do the dishes!!  Is there anyone else who still uses styrofoam??  Crazy, huh?  

Well, I think the hardest switch for me to make is the "bring your own bags to the market" thing.  Now, I have got a gazillion bags, but it just seems to me, that If I return those store bags to the store to be recycled...isn't that the same thing??  Maybe, I'll move on to something else, until I figure that one out! 

I'm gonna go start on that Big ol' To Do list! 

Have a groovy day!
