the slacker that is me...

well i've been back from madison for quite a while - so long in fact that i am returning tomorrow for some auntie duties...i haven't been sitting idly by oh no - i've been...

1. sewing a wedding dress
2. finishing up some stuff for persimmons - a local shop (the owner, kim is fabulous btw)working on some graphic design projects for my regular gig and a local theatre group
3. spending time with my kiddos
4. trying to fit in time for creating...

anywho here are some of the pics from the last trip (i did promise after all). first up is the three monkeys...the two on the left are my babes and the littlest of them all is my bro's oldest. and the close up is mr. k - don't cha' just wanna' eat up those cheeks....mmmmm.

and last but not least is one of my favorite animals at the zoo...why i'm not quite sure....i'm sure their color has something to do with it - maybe it's because they don't look quite as sad as the other animals. i have a real problem with going to zoos in general, my sympathy/empathy issues really flare up and i usually leave rather depressed. this trip wasn't too bad though - the henry vilas zoo in madison is definitely worth the trip if you're near by and hey best of all it's FREE!

i'm thinking of doing something with this image - not quite sure what yet, but it may pop up in one of my creations in the not so distant future.

today i got soooooo worked up over some issues i've been carrying with me - i really need to work on letting things go...but the day ended up being really nice - i got to meet a new friend and spend some time with my lovies.

hoping your thursday is splendid...luv - g.
