SACRIFICE

This weekend represents a loss.
It is a time to remember and thank those who have served for our Freedoms.  

                        
War is not pretty, or exciting, is not glamorous, it is brutal and sad.   We do not celebrate war, we honor those who went and did not come back.

Jack McLay was a friend, I knew him before I knew my husband and did not realize they were best buddies until later. He had a T-bird convertible that was so very cool and if I was lucky he would take me for a ride.  He was kind, always had a smile and had a great family.  
  
Jack served as a Marine and did not come home from Viet Nam. 



I made a tribute to him for my husband.

Just a kid who did not return.  War SUCKS.

Respect for those who serve and disdain for War are not mutually exclusive.   

Be safe this weekend and say thanks to a Veteran when you see them.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
