On The Road Again?

 Good morning, lovely friends.  Some more scriptures to share with you today.  

I've been confined to home since my car decided to stop working properly.  As I was driving, it sounded like someone laying underneath it with a very large hammer - not a good sound at all!  A friend of my husband's from work was selling his car, so here is my new ride - 

A 2009 Jeep Liberty.  I will love it as soon as the title transfer is complete and I can actually drive it.  I need something safe to ferry mum around, you know!

Monday I played around with doodling, first time since my Florida trip.  Incredibly, I found that I could get just as much housework done during the day as I usually do - instead of getting at it first thing, and keeping on all day, I pulled out pen and paint and just did a bit of housework while getting a new cup of coffee.  What an eye opener that was.....no more doing housework first.

I may turn this into a design.  My goal is to fill up my watercolor sketchbook with scripture.

So, here are the new scripture blocks, some have pictures and some don't.  Click on the title to download!

Ok, there ya go, I'll be back next week probably - meanwhile, enjoy yourselves!  I've got mum here today, just fed her lunch and she'll probably have a nap now....her favorite thing to do here.  *smiles*

Love,

Allie

I'm Back

 Good morning lovely friends - I am back from a little road trip, a quick one, to Florida.  Last year, my dear friend from high school lost her dad, I helped her clear out his house so they could sell it, and then she lost her brother.  I stored her things at my house, because I have the room, and why pay for a storage unit?  So last week we drove most of it down to her home in Florida.

I love road trips, especially through the Smoky Mountains.  We stopped overnight each way in Asheville, N.C. and had breakfast at a darling little Christian restaurant in Chimney Rock.

I haven't been to Florida in about 40 years.  The forecast was for four days of rain, and rain all the way down - but the Lord was good to us and gave us grand weather the whole trip.  Traffic was also not bad, considering the amount of road construction everywhere!  

Lunch on the St. John's river

My friend Patty's kitty seemed to love my purse - he stuck his whole head and front paws in it, too funny!  He's an absolute sweetheart.  I almost felt like I should leave my purse there for him.  I promise I wasn't smuggling catnip.

Coming home wasn't too bad, the boys did dishes while I was gone (shocking, I know).  I have been incredibly tired since I got home - I'm not sure if it's the weather (cold and gloomy) or just that I'm getting a bit, um, senior.  I think I'll blame the weather.

More scripture for you today.  I still haven't been doing any drawing, and I think I will challenge myself to do a drawing a day, no matter how bad it is.  My goal is to fill my sketchbook with drawings and scripture, and then get a new one - maybe by the fifth one I'll be better, lol.  So, here we go, click on the title to be taken to the download.

And now I'm off to start my day, and dream of mountains....have a wonderful week, I'll see you soon.
