Time flies

SONY DSC

7 Days….8 Nights…..v.a.c.a.t.i.o.n……I don’t really count the first day as a day because when you get to your destination after 10 hours car bound and after 6pm….then it’s not a day at play in my opinion.

Relaxed and Recharged with:
  • My Marker Stash (above)

  • My Journal
SONY DSC
  • My walks beach-side, dock-side and for something chocolate-sided.

  • My water-time
Swing
  • My swing-time


My flickr buddy Sheila (Bostinstuff) does aMaZiNg doodles, and what’s so interesting about her work is that she will draw everything out first….and….then….color…it…in.   Not the way I do it, I’m not that good!  But since I had the time I thought I’d give it a shot.  Lots of benefits to working this way, because I can color it in any way I want digitally once I have the black & white jpg.



It was very slow going with my doodling, I must confess.

3 days later and I’d only gotten this far!



Once home I felt compelled to complete this.  Just something endearing about taking a break from routine, seriously!  It was somewhat of a digital-break too.  No wifi, only my phone!  Maybe that was the best thing about recharging!  However, I did watch a lot of shark-week.  Wouldn’t recommend doing THAT before your salt water swims though.

  2. It all looks so relaxing. I love being near water, either the ocean or a river or lake. There's something about it that just makes me feel great.

    Love the "M"....that's both my kids initials. All M's.

  4. Beautiful!! Is there a way to download or purchase the letters?

    I'd love to have some of the black and white ones to color.

    Thank you,
