SERENDIPITY and JOYFUL SURPRISES...

 some newer news
and work...
WRITING WITH A 
FOUNTAIN PEN (I love)
on 
old black grungy paper
from and old grungy photo album
found at the Goodwill!




 Then I took lots of photos of these
I changed some on our "computer photography" thingy




 I was creating them for a specific few projects.
But like all good surprises,
I have already used them in other projects, before even reaching the intended ones.
LOVE
when that happens!
I'll try to dig up where I used them and show you later.




 I am hoping not to bore anyone to tears,
but...
in having to search for baby pics of our one and only...
I thought I'd post these few and then share a few things that happened while and after the search.

This is our Erin Lea.
We adopted her as a newborn. 
YEAH...miracles do happen.
She's going to be 34 when she has her own baby in January. 
That is the exact age I was when we adopted her.
I love serendipity!



.
 This is her backside and Bambi, whilst camping at Shasta Lake, California.
She has been an
absolute
JOY
in our entire family.



 An added tidbit:
After searching and sending the photos off to her friend, I painted this little face.
It looks nothing like her.
Though,
I am constantly amazed at how much we are influenced by our own selves, putting our heart and souls into our work, eh?
People talk about this all the time...and then 
BAM
there it is 
right in front of me.
LOVE
that!
When I finished this,
I
did
not
like
it 
one bit. 
When I found it by accident today...
LOVED 
it!
What the heck...I didn't even remember painting her, it was a couple of weeks ago.
And 
I
LOVE
that!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND FRIENDS!
