I’ve always loved picture books. So here’s a picture friendly post to catch up. First off the BFL challenge started this week and so did …..ahhhhhh i need sugar and more calories I’m tired and wasted all the time. I wasn’t eating enough calories for my active life and man it only took one day of that to up my intake and now I’m doing great.
Hitting the gym for the first time in over a month. I usually get plenty of practical weight lifting (1&3 year old) around the house but i know i need to get some good proper weight lifting in. Getting there after a while of being gone is like gagging down something disgusting…until you walk in the door and suddenly…what? must be gym anxiety or something.
5 tips to help me get to the gym (wish me luck)
1. Set out clothes
2. Set out keys
3. Set alarm
4. Set out anything else you enjoy at the gym (headphones, towel)
5. Go to bed
I had another good road trip to Idaho and the drive was my favorite part. The sky was awesome. Parts of the area remind me of Edinburgh minus the bugs on the windshield and the tissue tucked in the corner to keep wind from coming in…
I roasted (burnt to a crisp) some mallows with B.
I took some junk and made it into art.
Quiz: Find the three squares that don’t have a baby food lids…there are 3. I painted them to look like they have them. Turned out pretty cool but took way to much time.
This one was my first experience with Modg-Podg and collage. I love it. Fast fun and texture. Turned out awesome. Will definitely be doing this more. It’s square just a funny angled photo.
Oh, and my house is back on the market. All-in-all I’m a little stressed out but doing art helps…exercising will help even more and give me the energy i’ve been missing.

Beautiful pictures! I love the baby food lid art work! Soooo cool!
Exercise definitely helps me to de-stress. For me, there is nothing better than a long, very hilly nature hike…

Great pictures, good luck getting to the gym I can never seem to do it in the morning. Plus, my gym doesn’t have a shower…

Your sky pics are breathtaking! I agree, exercise really helps lower my stress level. I love your art, what a great idea using baby food lids, I would never have guessed that’s what they are!

Beautiful pictures. I love to “travel” on the net. Private pictures, I mean.
I live near the ocean so that’s all I need to de stress. Big ole ocean and big blue sky!
