sketch challenge:stamping 411

forgive the picture...my camera is out of town, so i had to rely on the scanner.... with 3-d elements! i guess it turned out ok. you get the idea.

i have also shared this with "flourishes": http://flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/ the challenge requires that images are not to be colored in, but beyond that, anything goes!

i'm old...

of course, i have a birthday every year around this time. so, happy birthday to me! (and, happy birthday to my brother, aaron, who is 14 years younger than i. can you imagine being 14 and getting a new baby brother. i didn't get my birthday cake iced that year. the cake was butter brickle, and the icing was supposed to match. i don't remember eating it. i think it dried up, and someone threw it out. i just wish that i was equally as important at the time. aaron is a super good brother, so i am glad to have him.)

no matter what the date says above, it is august 19th in greenville, nc...all the way up into columbus, ohio, where my brother lives........................
