Finally! The end of the 6x6 class!
Sketch #9: I was challenged to scrap a photo of myself. There are very few photos of me because I'm generally the one pointing the camera. Surprisingly there are very few of me in my Halloween garb, so this one is rare indeed. This was my last Halloween at work - I had dressed up every year that I was with the Agency and generally visited some of the classrooms to tell stories to the children. That is one of the few things that I miss.
Sketch #10: As my back and knees have aged I've given up flower beds and moved to container gardening. My gardening now consists of herbs and mosquito repellent plants in large containers on the deck. I dry them as they mature and generally have enough herbs to supply my entire family! The cats especially enjoy the fresh and dried catnip.
Sketch #11: Some more of my herbs. This year I planted 2 varieties of basil, sage, 3 varieties of thyme, oregano, catnip, citronella, and of course rosemary. The portulaca seeded from last years plants so there were actually some flowers in bloom.
Sketch #12: Macie and Kelly, with Macie painted as a butterfly.
Sketch #13: Macie's spring dance recital.
Sketch #14: My neighbor's granddaughter taking her first driving lesson. Brooklyn did a great job and Mica was a perfect pony as always.
Sketch #15: Julie's new car! She was so excited!
Sketch #16: Macie showing off her dance skills for her daddy!
Sketch #17: This LO was a PITA to do but it turned out to be one of my favorites!
Sketch #18: 50's Day at Cross Pointe Church. We had a great time throwing back to another era.
Sketch #19: This was one of those LOs on a white background that I wished I'd used a colored border around the edge. The inked edge helped, but it really needs more.
Sketch #20: Last one! I opted to use a solid sheet of 6x6 instead of cutting it into shapes and using a lot of patterns. I think keeping it as simple as possible was the best way to highlight the photo.
I'm glad that I took the class even though some of those LOs were a struggle for me. There are some LOs that I'll definitely try again, and there are others that I never want to see again! 😂 It's all a learning experience and hopefully I'll keep my momentum going.
Stay safe!
