50 by 50 Week 16

Well, this week has been busy. Spring has definitely hit the Washington DC area. The temperature has been in the 80s the last few days, the azaleas are blossoming, and everyone is sneezing! Here is the postcard for this week:





Also, I made a major purchase recently. I had not bought a new car in a very long time. My first car was a '77 Chevrolet Monte Carlo - my parent's old car. Then, I bought a new Honda CRX in 1984. I went from huge to tiny. Then, just before I married my children's father, we bought a new, 1991, diesel, VW Jetta. When that died in 2002, I bought a four-year-old VW Passat. I loved my Passat - a manual shift, it handled well, but required a fair bit of upkeep. Last Wednesday, my son went with me as I bought a 2011 Mazda 3. I think that I am falling in love all over again.

Farewell...........

50 by 50 Weeks 12, 13, 14, and 15

Today I was about to let this project go. I am irritated with myself when I can't keep up with something that I set myself to do. Life often intervenes with other things that take priority. But, I thought I would give it another try and catch up four weeks in one day. I thought that it would be fun to play with Photoshop, so I made each postcard digital. The cards are more basic than I would like, especially the backs, but I have them done! And, there is a lot to be said for getting something done and keeping a commitment with myself. I can get fancier when I only have one at a time to do.

Week 14: Artemis took a break this week, and, instead, I used a quote from my son Nicolas today. The picture is one I took of a Rose Parade float from 2009 of the Mad Hatter.





Week 15:





I have some new work to post soon as well.
