Tulips


At our monthly painting meeting, we painted tulips. I went ahead and did it on another memory box. It was a fun class.

Memory box


While I was in a painting mood, I finally finished off a memory box I'd had for ages. It was already painted blue and red, so I went with a patriotic design. I crackled the top just to lighten the color a bit. Cute!

Cards for Soldiers


The Society for Decorative Painters has a Paint for Freedom program, http://decorativepainters.org/paintforfreedom/index.php, and so I painted a card from our chapter. It's a nice way to show appreciation. Marie modified a design for the card.

Guilty pleasure--Quizzes


You are The Moon


Hope, expectation, Bright promises.


The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.


The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
