Super Nannie & Grampy

First a little background. The parents of my life long best friend, Amy, are like surrogate grandparents to my 3 kids. My E., as a toddler, began calling them Nannie & Grampy once she was able to name them. The names stuck from that day on for all my kids.

Jump to a few days ago when A. told N. he needed to sit and watch Mary Poppins with her. Along came the part in the movie when the family is interviewing for a nanny and the applicants are lined up outside the door.

N. said, " Wow, that's a lot of Nannies... and some Grampys too!"

Note: There were no males in the line (as those of you familiar with the movie know) but his humor was on target.

More Cabinet Cards

I don't know these people. These are photos in my vintage cabinet card collection.

There is no writing on the back of the 2 kids.

The group photo says on back: J. Hamilton house 1913.

Feel free to copy them for your personal altered art projects or for altered art endeavors you may choose to sell.

(Please play nicely--- do not copy them

to sell just as photos

or part of a digital collage sheet. Thanks!)

Just Doodling

I was sitting today with the colored pencils and this was the result.

I don't plan these birdy pictures; the subject and colors just happen.

I have been doing them as long as I can remember.

Click here and here for some other recent art doodle projects.

I should try to dig up some of my bird/bug art from when I was younger to scan and show.

I'll save that for another day...some day.
