Curious Leaping?


As a visitor to our TV station, we took Curious George
to a local gymnastics class, where
students played a game of "leap monkey" with him. I couldn't resist taking a shot.
Tonight we'll take him to a local amusement park where
he'll have banana splits with the kids!

From Old Postcards


I find the art on old post cards to be so charming and unique.

I use them (scans) for making my collage art, card making, ATCs and altered books.

By The Beautiful Sea!

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea!
You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be!
When each wave comes a-rolling in
We will duck or swim,
And we'll float and fool around the water.
Over and under, and then up for air,
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea,
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea
!

Spring Tea Party

Isn't this vintage image of two young girls at an outdoor tea cute? I just love the quaintness of it. It reminds me of the era of Jane Austen books.

~Raspberry Tea~

8 cups water, divided
3/4 cup sugar
6 small tea bags
3 cups unsweetened raspberries

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Remove from the heat; add tea bags. Steep for 5-8 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add 4 cups water.

In another saucepan, bring raspberries and remaining water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Strain and discard pulp. Add raspberry juice to the tea mixture. Serve in chilled glasses over ice. Makes about 2 quarts.
