T Stands Trail Info

 ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God;

and renew a right spirit within me.
¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy holy spirit from me.
¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free spirit.
¹³ Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalms 51:10-13 KJV

Hello!  We finally have some rain here, and cooler temps, 49 degrees Fahrenheit! Yesterday it was so windy and still in the 80s, that we had fire alerts in our area. So dry! I didn't walk yesterday or today but did the previous three days.  However, today, I am going to show you information about my trail I walk.

First photo is of a sign on the trail with a bit of history.

Our trail even has rules:

And it has a bike station for airing the tires.

And doggie doo baggies and trash can.

This part of the trail is really kept up quite nicely!

And we have sunflowers on the trail.

I met with friends last week at Panera, and just barely remembered to take a photo for this week's TSFT party over at Bleubeard & Elizabeth's at Altered Book Lover.  I was drinking what Panera calls Earl Greyer hot tea.  We also were looking at this book that I may use for our daytime Bible study next Spring.  This author is who was the speaker at the retreat that I went to in September.  She is a very good speaker.

I have been crafting this past week, scrapbooking, card making and other papercraft projects.  I had commented to Iris that I had done a little planner type journaling and she encouraged me to share, even if I am not good at it yet.

I decided I will only do one when inspired, and not worry about doing it every day.  I am doing them in my mixed media 7"x10" journal, so far just on the backs of pages that I have already done.  I actually did this one while watching a video about doing them.  I thought I would use items I forget to use, like a variety of markers, crayons, etc.

Again, I got supplies out that are hidden in drawers; thus I forget to use them!  Gel pens, metalic pencils, distress crayons, etc.  I did use some stamps, the footsteps, the pumpkin & leaves.  The rest is doodling.

 We will see if I continue.  I think it will be fun if I just do it once in a while, when inspired.  I think it would feel too much like a job if I did it on a daily or even weekly basis.  

That is, it today.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week!

T Stands for Pickle Juice

Whaaaat? you ask.  That is right, Pickle Juice!  A friend, a year or so ago, gave me a 6 pack of these little bottles when I was getting leg cramps quite often.    I had drunk most of them right after she had given them to me.  Just last week I thought I had drunk plenty of water, but was experiencing terrible cramps in my feet, legs, and even my hands were cramping terrible.  I remembered this last bottle in my refrigerator and drank it and got relief!  I don't know why, but it worked for me.  So I am sharing this as my drink for the T Stands for Tuesday party over at Altered Book Lover hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

I think Elizabeth will be amused with my TSFT ticket this week.   She has been missed, although Erika did a fabulous job filling in last week.  We all can't wait to hear about Eliabeth's jury duty adventure! :) 

With the cooler temps, I enjoyed a 4 mile walk 5 out of 7 days last week!  Not a lot of color on the trail yet, but a little:

But mostly still green:

I have found time to craft, too.  I have been working on my heritage album.  Here is a very simple layout using a branding strip for a border and a Hallmark greeting.  I decided to pair the Hallmark birthday greeting to my dad on a page with his baby photo.  I thought that a little bit of history worked well with the heritage album. I stamped the title and punched with a SU! label punch.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great week!

T Stands for I Almost Missed T Day, Again!

and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Good evening!  Once again it is time to join in with bloggers around the world for T Stands for Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth.  I missed last week as I was busy all day every day, and today, too!  But will try to get this post done.  After all, I keep taking trail photos and food photos, so better share some of them.

First, here is what I have done today.  I colored 15 of these, because they are one month of my Christmas gift calendars.  I am trying to get them done by the end of October, as one of the recipients might be here, and I can send the gift home with him.  These little calendars fit into 3 1/2x5" acrylic frames, which they already have.  Good thing, too, because I can't find them anymore!  This was stamped with retired SU! set Little by Little, then colored with COPICs.  The edeges were sponged in blue and I stenciled the clouds using a scalloped punched circle.

Now, some photos from this past week:

A new sign on the trail!

A neighbor's porch decorated:

And my ticket for TSFT!

This was a photo I took of the drinks they were serving at a Luau we attended last week.

Happy T Day, everyone!  Thanks for stopping by.
