today's post is a little of this and a little of that...






in my experimental art group  


i worked on the other side of my house started last month.






on the first side of the house i included photos 

from my japanese ancestors from the 'olden days.'






this side i have included elements from 






the house i built and where i raised my family






embellished with magazine images.

i have yet to collage in a few more

family photos





working on this project brought back so many wonderful 

memories.  i found myself musing and taking my time.

each new element glued down touched another fond memory.

i enjoyed the unexpected gifts in the creative process. 

i am linking with woyww where people share their desktops and works in progress.




and just for fun... a watermelon 'cake'  made

 to have on a warm summer night sitting outside

 in the dark talking with friends.  afterwards i looked 

up recipes.  there are lots of them online that look so much

better than mine.  but, as i said, we were in the dark and 

everyone love it

:)
