Complete Quirk Name

This is my final challenge in the Quirk Naming Ceremony over at Digital Art Quirks. OH, my Gosh... Lisa gave me such a great second name and I just struggled to put them together... I'm not really happy with this, but today is the deadline to post... so here it is... I am certain I will eventually redo this...

Tough Challenge

WOW! this was more difficult than I thought it was going to be; but, I finally finished my art fro CathyRose at Digital Art Quirks and come up with a second name for her! Tender Withe - her husband named her Tender and I have given her Withe. Withe is a subtle stick as from a willow... used to tie or bind things together. She is traditional, straight like a stick, yet tender and loving binding her family and friendships together I created my art for her based on some questions Cathy answered for me. I used a combination of her moody and happy colors... the bottom half stormy and blue, yet calmed by the water.. light airy bubbles fill the air (because I couldn't get the feathers to look right) She is well balanced, serene.... TENDER WITHE

Quirk Me!

Ok... over at Digital Art Quirks they have this great "doings" where you can get a quirk name. First you think of a first name for yourself, then make a 4x6 piece of art depicting your name. The person below you on the sign up list then thinks of a second name for you and makes another 4x6 piece of art for your new name. I picked "Spiritual" I don't know why.... LOL

Lisa gets to give me my second name... I sent her the following information to go on... I forgot so much... feathers, the sun sparking off water, sunrise, warm rain... so much more!

I adore soft colors, clouds and nature. I gravitate toward things with wings; fairies, angels, butterflies, dragonflies, etc. I have never seen a firefly but DH has promised to take me where I can see them! I love candles and soft scents...babies and kittens. I love rainbowsand crystals. I love fine linen and old furniture. I love all kinds of music, comtemporary, jazz, standards, rock-a-billy, country, opera, transe, celtic, chant, religious, etc. I love the theater, comedy, thrillers, drama, love stories and some sci-fi. I'm a computer geek.. all self taught. I don't consider myself particuarly talented, although I derive great pleasure in creating! I'm the spiritual type, immersed in my religion. I'm a dreamer... In my dreams I see friends in need or personal perils to come... and believe it or not, they almost always come true... it's not like I actually see it.... I see the people and have a feeling. I believe it's the spirit speaking to me. I think I am an "old soul", not that I believe in reincarnation, but I believe we were all together in the spirit world before we chose to come here on earth. I think I have been waiting a long time...LOL

Oh and I'm still thinking about that Hugh Fructose Corn Syrup project!

Oh I should have used Faithful! Dang!

Summer Metamorphosis

My niece spent almost a month of her summer vacation in California
between my mom, my dad, and myself. I had her for the last 4 days and what a change in those four days! I bought her some cosmetics at the Bare Escentuals store and showed her how to apply it.

Then a trip to the mall and I bought her some feminine clothes and shoes from Avenue. (with size 12 feet, the converse high tops and lime green zebra print deck shoes just didn't make it)

What a beautiful difference.

When she got off the plane in Missouri, (She said) my sister told her,
"Your a completely different person.
I don't like it" I'm sure it's because her daughter; 15, is now showing signs of growing up. My niece is an only child. My sister is 3 years older than me and her daughter is 10 years younger than mine. I know I had difficulty letting go... ... I think my sis will have a tougher time of it! ... wait 'till she finds out we taught her daughter to drive!

I used JoDe's Layette "Retreat" found at Altered Scrapping.

Rattling in my mind

Ok here's the deal... for over a week I have had this
RANT I have wanted to share... but I wanted to
create a visual to go with it... and well... I am kind of
stuck... LOL... still working on it though because I
am seeing red on this one... I'll give you a hint and
a head start...

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!

Google it, I dare you... and then after you have
read your fill, go to your pantry and read the lables...

Oh, Oh... then if you want YOU can attempt a
visual for me! he he Maybe I can scrounge up
gifts??? No promises.. just thinking out loud!
Not that it matters anyway.... I can scream at
the top of my lungs here and nobody would
here me! he he Now since I am not ready to
share my rant with you...
I shall leave you with a quote:

We all have our time machines.
Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams.
