another big one!
Time certainly does speed up the more years that go by.
I haven’t had some weird mid-life crisis such as wanting to take up sky-diving or get a motorcycle.
No tattoos, although I did dye my hair pink for breast cancer awareness last October.
Later we are going to have
my favorite meal…
SUSHI !!
There seems to be a pattern with me lately…I can’t seem to get these done at the proper time. At least Darcy is very kind about it and doesn’t rap us on the hand with a ruler or anything. :)Week 16…otherwise known as last week…Thadeus sends a postcard from Romania.
The postcard is a photo I took then played around in Photoshop a bit to give it a vintage feel.

Maggie-
Iceland was amazing. I can’t stop thinking of you even when I know that I should be actually reading the books and documents in front of me. I have scarcely seen the outside of the library here in Romania. I think I have discovered the source of the shipment. Time will tell.
Yours-Thadeus
The accompanying page is a little boring. I thought the paper is somewhat old wallpaper like…something one might see in an old library.
Week 17 Maggie writes to Thadeus from Norway. She doesn’t mention why she is there. It seems Miss Maggie is somewhat a woman of leisure. Taking photos, painting etc.
Maggie writes:
Thadeus-
I’m so excited that we, I mean, you are getting more answers. I feel as though I’m part of your journey as well now. I hope that doesn’t offend you since you are doing all the work.
When you visit next I’m going to make you some Norwegian specialties.
Yours truly- Maggie
She certainly tends to stumble a bit when corresponding with Thadeus. Maggie seems quite impulsive…doesn’t think before she speaks…or writes.
The page includes the recipes written in Norwegian…sure hope she can translate them…and a pocket that showcases rosemaling.
Thanks for bearing with me and the extra long post.
Stop by Darcy’s blog to see some more Norway postcards this week.
One birthday card for a man… using some Citra Solv paper and Basic Grey packaging. The recipient is back in college get his second degree and is taking some very high level math courses. I thought the normal curve table page was fitting.
This canvas is now on it’s third life.
Every time I get tired of it I just spread some gesso over the top and start over. This time I added some modeling paste for texture and then some of my rusted lace fabric. I trimmed down an 8×10 print of digital art.
circa 1930 something…
As much as I hate the background on these gears, I love how real they look.
I scanned some pocket watch gears I had laying around then made the background of each transparent. All I had left to do then was to stack them and make them look dimensional.
