On those rare occasions, when it's the last minute & walk into a thriftstore to actually find a complimentary purple blazer to top off this outfit! Noah: "The very best Halloween of my life!"
Baby Dragon & Grandpa Dragon!
Kawai & Sarah our special treats.
Sarah & Noah are so very alike, especially hamming it up.
Sarah and I went thrifting today. If you ever do this, you know it's shopping as random as it gets--and today's theme was pottery, pottery, and hey, pottery. This fun loot was purchased at two thriftstores for a total of $14. And to those creative people who created these: Laura, Dean, arc, Gabriel & Maria E., I thank you. It was a special day when you were in a pottery class body bent over to handcraft these pieces, no doubt it was an adventure. . .maybe it wasn't perfect, somehow they ended up in a Corona thriftstore. . .but they ended up happily to a couple of girls who appreciated the color & creativity. We appreciate the imperfect. I poured myself a cup of coffee in one of these mugs this evening and giggled because of the perfect imperfections, there's a comfortableness about someone's creative piece in my hands and home. 
Made by Maria E., possibly my favorite of the day!
Did I mention that Sarah is a Master Ninja Bead Jeweler? She made me this chunky bracelet. I think Babysitting for Jewelry might be on my agenda!
Doodling when I can, in my 5x5 Journal Sketchbook.
And experimenting with watercolor.
Fluff to fill my in-betweens. Starbucks being the muse!
Frank's sketching. Martin Luther King, love it. Found in his messy room.
Sideyard printing of family names in cement work that Lorin has laid. . .
Just the beginning of a beautiful pathway Lorin has created to our side yard, gate area. Lorin stamps the home with his skilled work.
Am I not working that title? Clever me. After my day at Redondo Beach, the full moon accompanied me home. Do not attempt to do this peeps unless --even then it's inadvisable--
My booty today. Redondo Beach did not have too much offerings but you just receive what there is & hope for a better day in the future. Lots of children playing, umbrellas on the beach. Makes up for the, uh kinda dirty shoreline. . .watermelon rinds, bags and plastics. . .
This Angel's hat is becoming that piece of clothing that completes my ensemble! Bad hair day? No worries I have a solution!
Luke & Noah back to back at Angel's Stadium for a little height comparison, Noah is two years behind Luke, but it looks like he could overtake Luke soon. . .it's amusing to see these faces with teen angst (Noah is a "tween" at eleven). So, while I shelled this weekend, Lorin is rockin' the front side pathway--photos to come!
A polaroid of my thinking/praying self portrait. . .because I am a bit impressed with myself. Note: the space to write a message! Clever me!
Self was made after I doodled in my journal a polaroid. . .well yes, why not?
Every woman needs a man who is pleased just to have her around even if she's playing with crafts! Thanks poopy doo. Was it gloriously fun to create!
And, as I have lost my first weekly journal. . .I broke down & began another one. A girl like me cannot have too many artsy journals.
