Staying out of Trouble!

ACEO

Here's how I've been staying out of trouble.



Painting some




ACEO










 artist card edition originals...






making a fall decoration....















sampling a new butterscotch brownie recipe - very yummy... (naturally no calories)








and marveling at the beauty of the last flowers of the season.




What are you doing to stay out of trouble?   Would love to hear.   Have a wonderful evening!

Hugs Debbie

  2. Good evening Debbie,
    I LOVE your cat ACEO, and the flowers... You are amazing, you know It?
    Good thing that butterscotch brownies are not at my house, they would be gone.
    Looks yummy!
    Well, I am needle felting, yard work, and doing a little drawing... My hands must be busy...
    Enjoy your evening, and thank you for sharing this beautiful post.
    blessings,
    Penny

  3. I'm doing a little bit constructive. Started a badge, felted from Teddy, my cat's hair. It was cute, but as being the first one, it isn't perfect. The life of a perfectionist is fraught with - well, it was somewhat fun. I hope the next one, out of Boo's hair, is better.

  7. I love your watercolors and your pictures.
    Cosmos are so beautiful composition, pretty ready to paint!!! Your words are always so sweet to my hearth.

    Life is not a bed of roses ... but I'm always able to paint roses or I'm able to imagine the roses in my mind..
    This gift (I think it's a gift that I received along with the troubles) is part of my life and support me in the difficult following of cancer, for 18 years (even this is a great gift, because now I became a grandmother twice, when I did not know, 18 years ago, how much life was left in front of me). Warm hugs,Rita.

  8. Beautiful paintings
    The lovely tangle of cosmos makes me miss summer again. I don't have time for trouble, but it does for me because I'm so busy unpacking/sorting, I keep forgetting to mail things even when I go to the Post Office to mail things. Today is catch up day!

    Have a Perfect Thursday!

  11. Good morning Debbie, what wonderful ACEOs. I think those butterscotch brownies would get me "into" trouble. :) Yesterday, to stay out of trouble I went to the spring for water, I cleaned the living room rug, I bought groceries, I did laundry, and I ate less than 1,000 calories to try to put a halt to this weight I've been gaining from being sedentary. Today, I am paying for it all. :) I can't get into much trouble today because I can hardly move.

  15. Hello Debbie, what a varied day you've had, loved your card paintings, I love how you can change from painting such lovely flowers then cats. It' s so nice you still have cosmos in flower, did I tell you this year only one seed from a whole packet germinated and grew so huge with a stem almost as thick as my wrist and it didn't have one flower on it. How weird is that. I'm keeping out of trouble preparing La Petite Maison for some visitors from Holland.

  18. Your ACEO's are fabulous Debbie. So tricky to do too. You might have stayed out of mischief whilst painting these lovely pieces but that kitty of yours certainly looks as though he has his eye on something to explore. How do I stay out of trouble??? By coming to visit you of course to see what mischief you have managed to avoid and how. hahaha Enjoy your week. xx

  23. Hi there Debbie!... Been busy as a bee... cleaning up the garden... painting with my pals... Scrabbling with Deb... star gazing in the early morning... watching the antics of our resident chipmunk commandoes... feeding my bird visitors and watching the "changing of the guard" at the feeders... some newly arrived... others absent.

    Fall is such a wonderful and awe-inspiring time ... just to soak up Creation and to feel deep gratitude that you have a prominent and blessed place in it!

    Happy Thanksgiving Debbie! Enjoy the celebration with your family!

    Warmest regards and blessings!
    Bruce

  24. We've been cleaning up the gardens, and I've been drying the last of the flowers. Not sure if I'm ready for winter or not but I'll enjoy fall as long as it's here.

  25. looks like your creativity is keeping you out of trouble....that usually works for me too. Keeping busy care taking my daughter for a couple of weeks while she recuperates with a broken knee cap and spiffing up the apartment has me to pooped to get in trouble. :) Love the aceo's ♥

  29. You are good, lovely paintings, cooking yummy food and doing your blog. I have been busy going through my lovely Mum's precious photographs, which took a while. A bitter sweet few days and many smiles and a few tears.
