Shadow Shot Sunday

Shadows abounded this morning when I walked along our walkway. So lovely to see plants growing - even dandelions!

Be sure to check here to see shadows from around the world. Join in the fun and start your own search for shadows - will become an enjoyable passion!

Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

I missed last Sunday as I spent the day driving home from Montreal - an eight hour trip. We had spent almost a week there, attending my father-on-law's funeral and being with family.

Small Zens
In the car, I actually made a few more small zen cards (on old business cards - great way to use them up).

They were relaxing and fun to do.

Practicing Gratitude
This is a new challenge through Bernice at "Newly Creative". I had started this challenge at the beginning of the month but am now returning to it. This is the 2nd day - "Creative" - using plastic wrap on wet paint.

Here is the background I created:

Then I added photos of what I am thankful for and 2 quotes.

Full Flower Moon Dreamboard
The 14th was the full flower moon and I finally created a dreamboard. The question to focus on was"
                                        "How do you wish to bloom?"

Writing and art are where I want to bloom, but as well I want to thrive and live my best life.


ATCs
I was able to make some Heart Inchies:

Shadow Shot Sunday

I have been absent from my blog for a short while. My father-in-law was ill for awhile, went int hospital over 2 weeks ago, but then passed away May 5th. We spent a week then in Montreal, for the funeral and to be with family. It was a tough week.
But I am back and ready to get back on track.

Today has been cloudy and rainy, as it has been for the past few days. But what a day - Montreal and New York start their series today in Montreal. Then at 6:18, California Chrome may make it 2 out of three on the march to the Triple Crown. An exciting day indeed. I'm rooting for Montreal and Chrome to win!

I have some shadows I took a while ago to share.

In honour of Chrome - another horse photo:

Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

This past week I worked on a few collages, but the main creative projects were writing.


Journal 52
I am behind in the weekly challenges, but I thought the new one for this week would be a fun challenge:
HANDS

I made a hand print on the painted background, then brainstormed what we can use our hands for - I ran out of space, not ideas!

Practicing Gratitude
Bernice at "Newly Creative" has started a new challenge for May, on expressing gratitude.
The first project was to create a "Give Thanks For" journal spread so that each day you can express something you are grateful for.
Here's mine:

May Calendar

Here's my May Calendar for the monthly calendar challenge at "Kathryn's Wheel"

Had to share some of the flowers sprouting today! Yeah for spring!

Chasing shadows has become a necessary occupation. It is often the first thing I notice when composing a shot. Most times people avoid them, but for "Shadow Shot Sunday, it is a must.
Here are a few shadow shots from the past couple of weeks..
