By the way - does anyone know how to get the text to go right under or right above your pic!? I feel like it used to just happen automatcially - but now it doesn't - any thoughts? - K

Mostly for Bet

Hey Bet - and all - whoever is interested! This is an amazing artist's site that I just found! I found Penelope Illustration through Illustration Friday and I think it's just increadible! There is soooooooo much there - this girl is awesome! I think she also created Illustration Friday too - which in itself is a huge thing! This website is really inspiring to me and is kind of where I see my site going - or kind of how I see myself working. Wow - I have a ton to do and even more to learn! Check it out:

Painting

Hi guys! Here are a few pics of Sandy and I painting our living room - the pictures are really bad, but you'll get the idea I think! The old color is the really orange yellow color and the new one is the lighter cream yellow color. It's called Harpstrings - and I think I like it just because of the name! :) Anyway, we're really pleased with it! Now just have to clean up!
Also - I've been putting up lots of pictures on my art blog - so you all will have a to check it out:

Little snippets of life: Friends at Atlas, time over with Kelly and Jeff and new baby Becket, the farmer's market this morning, and the Fiesta Day Parade we ran into this morning. Enjoy!

My first story!

Hey all! So, it might be kind of silly but, I am pretty excited, because I got my first story in the collegian today! It's just a fun little informational piece on the coffee shops on campus, (Perfect for me right?), but I had fun doing it.
If you want to see the online version just go to www.kstatecollegian.com and scroll down untill you see a story on coffee or you can go directly to it with:

Love you all!

Year One

Atlas had its One Year birthday last night. One of the things Tim and I did was to make a collage of all the programs for the year. We had a fun time making it. Love, Bet

New Camera

Hello All!! Here are some pictures I took yesterday with my brand new totally awesome camera! Yesterday we went to Potato Days a big festival they have once a year out at Centennial Village (where Tim and I got married). So, some of the pictures are from there. They have lots of reinactments and demonstrations of Greeley history and lost arts. It was really fun. You also get a free baked potato with admission. So, a lot of the flower pictures are from Centennial Villages gardens. The kitty pictures are just me figuring out how to work my camera. I also put in a picture of our yard because no one has seen our new grass! Papa - the purple star shaped flower is one I just planted in my back yard. Do you know what it is? I bought it at a nursery that was shutting down, and there was not a tag on it. As for my camera, I am still playing around with settings, but so far, I am really happy with it. I love you guys,
Betony

Canning

Good morning my lovely family! Just wanted to share this pic of me canning! Didn't break any jars and now have seven quarts of peaches on the shelf! Cool!

Betony's Questions Answered:

OK Bet, answering your questions! Yahoo! But I really miss seeing your pics! Put em up girl!

1. What are some of your all time favorite fiction books:

La Cucina, Witch of Black Bird Pond, Juniper and Wise Child, The new one about the Goose Girl (can't remember the name), The Red Tent, Wendell Berry's stuff, The Abhorsen series, Ahab's Wife, Star Girl, The Secret Life of Bees, stuff by Barbara Kingsolver, gosh there are so many!

2. Favorite Non-Fiction? Um....I don't think I'm very good at actually reading these sort of books, but want to! They just don't draw me in. But I would like to read that color book Bet.

3. What are you reading right now? Working on "The Nanny Diaries" - although I've almost had enough of it. Looking for something new! Any suggestions?

Sister Show!

This is a little handout I did for this weeks Art Hop in Burlington that I'm doing. I'm really REALLY excited about the Sister Show! Ya! - Katie

Yummy Peach Yumminess

Good Morning! I wanted to share this yummy peach dessert with all of y'all:

If you have them - use little crème brûlée cups - but maybe large muffin tins would work too. Take a whole fresh peach, cut it in half and hollow out just a little from the center so you have room to fill it and put in dishes (hole side up!). Take goat cheese (one blob per peach) and heat up in microwave so it's soft and mixable, mix in a little honey to whatever sweetness you want (I like about a tsp of honey for two blobs of cheese). Put a nice amount of cheese with the honey mixed in into the peach holes, sprinkle a few peacans on the top and dust with a little cinnamon and pop in the oven at 300degees for about 20 mins! Yummy yummy in your tummy. Enjoy and think about "The Maggie B" - Love - Katie
