and the winner is.... (a little late on my part)

do i know how to pick a winner...david cook was my choice since day one...american idol is inspiring in that people think they might have talent, they try and try again and some even become artists...







here is my mess on my studio table...some art has actually come from this mess...

bread and water can so easily be made into toast and tea

...or banana bread...

this recipe came from the ol' work horse, the joy of cooking...simply the best banana bread on the planet...


went to nunn, colorado yesterday for some grrlfriend time...kelly and i went out junking, finding this sale of repossessed storage unit junk...found pastel-colored yard sticks for decorating my studio, a small rack of antlers that will be painted chartreuse...

then we sauntered over to "oak n' tokens in ault, colorado where these two gems run their store that never changes...


happy spring (finally)...



off to my very first mammogram....aaarrrr...
