  • Ladybug Smiles

    So what would make a ladybug smile this big?
    She won the lottery?
    No, they don’t win money in the Ladybug Lottery – they win aphids.
    All those nasty little suckers a ladybug can eat – for life.

  • Do You Believe in Talking Snakes?

    I think it’s no big secret I’m an atheist.
    What you may not know is my circle of friends includes some very, let me stress VERY devoutly religious people and guess what? We don’t argue.
    Never have and never will.
    I have no issues with anyone believing whatever they want – none at all.
    In fact, I’ll defend it.
    I mind paying taxes while any entity claiming a religious exemption gets to skate away to the tune of 71 billion dollars a year in unpaid taxes because of religion.
    I do find it amazing that rational, intelligent adults think it’s okay to teach children in school that a talking snake caused the fall of man and that’s when animals began to eat meat.
    And that’s where this piece came from.Β  #atheist #religion

  • Giraffe and Butterfly ACEO Card πŸ™‚

    I seem to have some kind of genetic condition where I cannot lay something straight on the scanner and the damn thing has a ruler on it! My eyes say – yep it’s straight and then I scan and get something like this – so sorry – I tried and you don’t even wanna see the other two attempts. #giraffe, #butterfly, #friends

    On this piece, I was imagining a giraffe and having an unlikely friend – maybe a butterfly.
    This is them.

  • H is for Headache

    Ermagawd my head hurts.
    I don’t get headaches very often but it’s like all the random headaches I could have gotten go to some stash in my body and I get to experience them all at once.
    I seriously sit around holding the sides of my head together something and then they go away.

  • On June 17th, I Saved a Bee From Drowning

    We’ve been working in our backyard setting up this pool. It’s got the joke of a nameΒ  “Easy Set” pool and let me tell you it’s been anything BUT easy.
    Anyway, we were pretty sure we had the ground level and filling up the pool to see if the water was going to all run to one side and bust the sides out and then Skinney noticed a bee in the water.
    So we got a leaf and it was pretty tired but finally we got it onto the leaf and I put it in the sun on the fence to dry off.
    It didn’t move and then it started cleaning itself and doing this weird butt bumping thing but seemed okay.
    I really gotta start keeping my camera with me.
    But here’s a drawing to commemorate the event.

  • A is for Alcoholic

    For years I lived with an alcoholic.
    If it is true alcoholics have a personal hell, so do the people on the other side of that bottle.
    You’re trapped never able to have friends over, never able to attend a social function, never able to plan ANYTHING because the alcoholic in your life can wreck those plans in the time it takes to empty a pint of Jack.

    First you lie to everyone about why you can’t do this or that, then you make deals with your Alcoholic and even throw down ultimatums and then you get real about it.
    It was never anything you could control and you have realize you’re responsible for your own happiness and sometimes having happiness involves not having that person in your life if they aren’t interested in walking on a healthier road.

    I’ve talked with a lot of people in relationships with alcoholics over the years and it’s amazing how similar all of our stories were with our experiences and challenges.
    I can say, for myself, I found happiness. πŸ™‚

  • It’s Ugly – Set of 7 ACEO Cards

    This is a set of 7 – yes SEVEN – awesome ACEO cards.

    I met this man – greediest dude I ever encountered and anyone that wanted anything that took ANYTHING even imagined from him, he would scream about how entitled they were all while filling his own pockets.
    So, I thought, “Wow, Greed is so ugly” and then I thought “What else is ugly?”

    Negativity, lying, complaining…and then I did 6 of these things and the irony hit me – it’s UGLY TO JUDGE THINGS AS UGLY.

    I mean Mr. Greedy is the greatest dude in the world to someone…somewhere…..just not me.
    What’s ugly to you?

  • He Did Not Know He Actually Married a Cockroach

    No one attending the wedding wanted to ruin the big day for the ever-so-proud groom, but the bride was a cockroach.
    Everyone but the loving groom could see.
    I wonder how the marriage worked out?
