Thursday. My favorite day of the week! It's sunny and nice outside, I'm in a good mood, and doooode! I am taking tomorrow off as a vacation day! Hallelujah! Miranda and I are going to get up early (or as early as you can wake up a 19 year old) and do some garale sailing! (I know that's not how you spell it but both "saleing" and "saling" look odd! And then also, Glen comes home from Kalispell tomorrow! Say it with me....YIPPEEE!!!
I still have some house stuff to attend to before I pick him up from PDX tomorrow though. When Glen travels, I like to "prepare" the house for his homecoming. I prioritize things this way...have the bed made fresh and have food in the house! That's it. If there's a pile of laundry somewhere (which there usually always is) or if the house needs vacuuming...that can wait. I mean, think about it, if YOU'VE been on the road for two weeks, not sleeping in your own bed and eating out at just about every meal, wouldn't it be glorious to come home to your own bed? With clean sheets and your own pillow? Just waiting for you and inviting you to lay down for a quick rest? And then to be able to sit down with your family for a home-cooked meal off of your own dishes? Yep, I know what's important.
This past Tuesday night, I took an Image Transfer Workshop at a little local studio called Radius Studio. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! My friend, Heidi, took it too. And I must say, an AWESOME studio. The instructor of the class is also a co-owner of the studio. Nice guy. Just added to the whole experience because I felt like I could totally ask questions and be not normal which is when I learn the best. The stuff I learned in this class will probably be applied in some way to just about everything I touch from this point forward! I am not kidding, my world just shifted a notch or two! Just so very cool and the possibilities are unlimited! I'll get some pictures up here soon so you can see why I'm so crazy with ideas! And then NEXT Tuesday, I am taking a Polaroid Transfer Workshop! Sweet mamma jamma! I can't wait for that one! Miranda's gonna take that one with me.
I've got Image Transfer Fever!
TTFN...hope your first Thursday of the Summer is AWESOME!!!
What a nice wife you are, empathetically prepping the house for your hubby.
I'm so happy for you, enjoying the transfer class so much. Artsy -craftsy classes are so great.
Good luck with the house prep and have fun with your day off :)

Aww, you are a sweet wife. No wonder you guys have been married over 25 years (it's a give and take for both of you!) Pls. do take pix so I know what is that class you are crazy about! It's a lovely summery day here in San Francisco!

Well get those pics up, I can't wait to see what you have done. I just did a little image transfer in my BOD and boy or boy it was fun. Want to see yours.
Yep, you know how to prioritize for a homecoming.

Ooooh, love image transfers---there are so many ways to do it! Am curious what you learned---can't wait to see pics :). I've always wanted to play with Poloroid transfers too, especially after a friend showed me her technique (her image is still up in my studio)---always thought it would be a fun way to make prints of my paintings!
Have fun playing today with Miranda----hope you find some great treasures---I like to call garage sales the last great American adventure, since you never know what you might find as you pull up at the curb of the next sale! I remember 25 years ago hitting the garage sales with a car load of my friends & us bounding out of the car exclaiming "I see it...It's mine!" flying into the sale in competition with one another---all as a big joke of course :)~!
