I have been doing more painting with shaving cream and this time using my garden stencils, so far I have done this beautiful butterfly a Dragonfly and a humming bird. I use acrylic paints this time a pink and yellow combination to get a two tone quality, this technique with the shaving cream is so much fun...my husband is going to wonder where all of his shaving cream has gone off to...the only other male is our kitty cat Sam...Ha ha he has a Lion cut so alot less shaggy..you can see him in all his regalness on my sidebar complete with all of his hair.

I hope all of you are enjoying a wonderful day whether it be Sunny or Cloudy there is always room for gratitude,,,,and I am grateful to all of you my dear blogging friends!!

I Love you all!!!

    WOW! Those are beautiful! Sounds like you are enjoying painting with shaving cream. I think that is so cool, never heard of it until I came to your blog.

    I hope you have had a very nice day, mine has been good.

    Very nice, very pretty. What will you do with this? A pillow perhaps? Keep at it!

    I had to go to town today and it was one of the first beautiful sunny days we have had in awhile. But I got to see a couple of eagles cavorting in the sky above the Costco store! It was worth it then. I looked down to the ground and there were two Elk standing there, grazing across the fence. Cool.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
