Okay, so . . . here’s some stamps. I have the previous week’s ready to scan. Will post those next Sunday.

Dreamtime is a theme I’ve been working on for awhile so I’ll probably re-visit it again before the year is out. I love using negative images . . . they’re a quick and dirty way to make something “usual” look rather unusual. Some also have that semi-creepy edge that shows up frequently in my artwork, though not by conscious effort.

Thank GOD my printer is working again!

Sorry for the lack of updates this week! Several technical difficulties have gotten in the way of getting my stamps ready to post. BUT, I shall return after a brief trip out west . . . Keep smilin’ Micci and keep writin’ Reg baby!

AH! Cable issues! Finally all is back online and working. These two stamps are the last two for LAST week . . . good things to give our kids. Dreams and love, I think they are the two BEST things. You know, I’m glad I have lots of both! Tonight I’ll post TODAY’s stamp if the pole is till standing when I get home from work.

I missed out on this one when I was a little kid. Fortunately, I picked up on it . . . in college when I was forced to have self-confidence. As a parent and as someone who was not self-confident as a child, I know how important this is. I’m thankful I’ve had a chance to attempt to show our daughter how important it s.

I’m very grateful to my parents for giving me a true love for learning. What a great gift to give a kid.

Two more things for our kids, your kids and everyone else’s kids. I’m thankful I’ve been able to hold on to that incredible feeling of wonder. I can’t imagine life without it.

Micci suggested the theme “children” for this week’s stamps in honor of PSU’s THON coming up this weekend. Good idea, Micci! At work tonight I decided to use one word, thing, idea we give our children for each day of this week’s posts. Today’s word is play. We all need time and a safe place to just play. . . both are essential to childhood. I had a fantastic place to play as a child . . . an entire farm. How can one NOT be thankful for that!?

Last two for Valentine’s Day Week. Looking at the past and future today, I guess! All is well looking back AND looking foward. Thank you, Meezo, for both.

The first (045) features two black oak trees on a hill somewhere near Vacaville. The second (046) is sort of self-explanatory. I’m thankful for those great old classic tunes that give us space to allow just enough introspection without a pile of goofy sentimentality.
