Having fun with mosaics!

 

I know I said I was limiting my time on the computer!

 

But it is just TOO much fun to work on mosaics this week!

I took pics of my jewelry trees.

And then made a sparkly mosaic!

Then I saw the roofers on a house nearby and took a photo of the roof.

 It looked like they had created a chimney with the stacks of shingles and I created a masterpiece with the photo! 

I KNOW! I have quite an imagination! hahaha!

And this little Flycatcher was so pretty on the fence at the Pruitt trailhead.

And I made stained glass out of it in photoscape. I've never used that before so now I'll be playing with that feature!

There was a squirrel in the palm tree so that became a mosaic, too!

And I snapped off pics of a few of the entrances to the neighborhoods here in my community.

I know I have more but I better do something else now!

Are you enjoying the holiday season?

Thankful Thursday

I have so much to be thankful for this week that my list would take all day to create! It's been a super good week and now it's Thursday! A day to count our blessings!

We hiked one of our longest hikes this week so I'll have more pics to share later.

It was amazing!

I went to a White Elephant sale and found some neat items. I didn't go overboard buying this time! I'm Spring cleaning now so I don't need more 'stuff'! This is a sale in our community that happens twice a year. People bring their unwanted items and put a reasonable price on them to pass them on to someone else to enjoy.

I found this beautiful patriotic Longaberger basket that I 'needed'. It looks perfect on top of my fridge.

I also got 2 pretty butterfly necklaces.

And then Tom the Backroads Traveler will be proud of me! I FINALLY took the Christmas wreath off my front door this week. He made it for me and it has stayed pretty for over a month! And when I open the front door, it is 'inside' so we have enjoyed the wonderful scent of evergreen too. (We have a glass door on the outside and we open our big front door every day to let the sunshine in.

Well, I wanted to recycle the greenery so I took it apart. And VOILA! Now I have a pretty arrangement of pinecones (real), apples (artificial) and berries in my old dough bowl, on the kitchen table! Thanks Tom!

Do you have a long list this week too?
