happy independence day weekend! I'm all excited about the July 4th holiday this year! My Mom is coming up from Florida to visit with us and stay in our teeny apartment. She hasn't seen our DC place since we moved in last August and then it was just a pile of boxes. But without her it probably would still be a pile of boxes. With her help we unpacked and settled into this place in record time! I'm excited to show her around the neighborhood now that I know it better! I have a long list of things I can't wait to show her. We'll be having some friends over on the 4th and going up to the roof of our building to watch the fireworks. We can see the Capitol and the Monument from our roof so it should be a nice view and we'll miss the crowds! I hope everyone has a super holiday weekend!

Never been down there to see them since I hate the crowds. I usually watch them on PBS. LOL, Marlynn # posted by  Marlynn : 8:14 AM   That sounds awesome.. I always get emotionally patriotic.. I bet those fireworks can't be beat! Have fun with your mom! # posted by  jenny : 2:52 PM   Hi Claudine! I am primarily a jewelry artist and have been dying to try mixed media ans collage. On Deryn Mentock's suggestion, I just bought your book, "Collage Discovery Workshop"! Since I have to still work a "real job"(lol), I'm going on my lunch now to read it. I was formally trained in painting, and drawing , so I see this as a new addiction! I have fallen in love with your work, I love the clean feel of it. I will be back to visit, your blog looks so informative! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas! Hugs, Sharon # posted by  sharon : 4:28 PM   Hoping you had a wonderful 4th! : ) # posted by  La Donna Welter : 9:58 PM   Post a Comment << Home
