Arranging God's Beauty

My family has wonderful creativity and this is one example of taking the beauty found out in the fields and arranging it together. I feel blessed to see these "weeds" gathered in such a fashionable way that even I can now see their beauty. God doesn't make junk yet it takes someone who knows how to see more than the "weeds".

Ah the Food Storage Possibilities

I am excited to enter this contest at this site: http://www.thrivequickdish.com/2011/11/08/great-launch-giveaway/  We are in need of a good food rotation system. I am sure that the "courtiers" and little knight will definitely use it as a toy or game just to see the cans roll into place. =)  So if nothing else, we will be entertained even if the food is a little out of order. . . Check them out and enter the contest!

Our "Hotel"

See the full gallery on Posterous

The place we stayed for the conference is a very beautiful place. It was an old Christian, university dormitory for women. We were able to walk from our room to the Hilton within 8-10 minutes. I liked the hall and archway where we made Gregorian chant sounds late in the evening. I was not actually a participant at the conference but I was able to look at all the books which the attending authors, illustrators, publishers, and agents had out to sell. It was neat to see the people in person
I spent a good deal of my time working on the family DVD game, which is still coming along nicely although a little slowly. I also received some great ideas of how to handle certain issues in the DVD as well.

Traveling to an Illustrator's/Writer's conference

We visited this neat-looking welcome center in Kentucky on our way to the conference. It was a long drive but nice to spend time together. It was a plantation house back in the day. Kentucky is a beautiful place.

The DVD game

I have been somewhat busy with a few videos, and a DVD game I have started to work on. I mapped it out digitally and am now putting pieces together. It is taking me longer than I had hoped. Yet, it is coming along.

I keep thinking of new pieces I could put in but I think if I can just finish this small version then I can add things on later. Let me know what you think.

More Zoo pictures

This hippo kept going around and around so it made it easy to take many pictures and get good shots.

Watching the Prairie Dogs

We explored the zoo for a princess's birthday. Here we are admiring the stillness of the prairie dogs. There was an extremely plump fellow who was not moving at all, except his chompers as he stared back at us. We all chose an animal we wanted to see and mostly stuck to our plan--elephants, giraffes, penguins, tigers, reptiles, zebras, hippopotami, bears, and others who happened to be along our path.
