Fly

Inspiration hit me from recent events in my life, so I made these ...

No, they are not my quotes... I just decorated them. :p

Heeeeere crabby, crabby, crab...

I warned them I'd be back! lol

We went back looking for these crabs when Dan was here. I have to give credit to Rich for snapping this shot since I was driving ever so slowly along the preserve while Dan and Rich hung out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of these huge beasts! The ones pictured here are only about 6' to 8' but there are some twice that size! I've lived in FL for 22 years and have not seen land crabs like this!

Anyone that knows me well knows I get excited about the simplest things. There is so much wondrous life all around us. The beauty of nature fills my heart with joy.

Respect life.

Life's a Beach

We had another incredible day at the beach.
Instead of Vero we hit Sebastian and had a blast!

The hurricane in the waters south of us are sending in some heavy surf!
The waves were powerful.

My daughter is trying to figure out how to get inwithout getting clobbered like her brother and Rich. lol

Coming back to rest after being beaten up by the surf... lol

She could play in the sand for hours ...

*credit for the last photo goes to Rich*

Rage before Serenity

Anger fades

Hate turns to pity

Love lost

Time for Serenity

more banners from the past ...

Here are a few banners from Gia's Place. There were so many forums within. We talked about everything there!

This one was used for the "girl talk" forum. These were photos that intrigued me and I merged them on to a background I love. I no longer remember the photographers name because I made this banner years ago. I used to have credit to him under it on my board. This was always one of my favorites!

This one I made for the political/news/opinion discussion board. I made it almost like a flowing river of blood because there tends to be some major battles in those discussions. Everyone is passionate in what they believe.

This one I never used. I just had fun turning a Victoria Secret model into a demon.

This was the main banner and identity for Gia's Place.

This was my team that helped me run the board for so many years.

This was the team for about the last year before I chose to close it. They are all extremely dear friends of mine. I used this banner in the forum where the member could post pictures of themselves.

Banners from the past

I used to run a message board at times I miss tremendously. It was a group of close friends goofing off and a place to not take life so seriously. I used to love making birthday banners for my friends. Here are a few I did ...

This one is my all time favorite. Terry is a big horror movie buff so I edited a picture of him into one of his favorite movie scenes. lol

This one is animated, this blog doesn't show it that way. If you click on it it shows the animated version.

This one is also animated.

I used to have a blast making these. I have a huge folder of them.

So this is love ...

So this is love, Mmmmmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, Mmmmmm
And now I know
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings, Mmmmmm
And I can fly
I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
So this is love

I call this ...

LIZARD LOVE

I was heading out the door for a walk last night and found these lizards on the wall in my entry way. Ok... it's obvious! I have no life if I find enjoyment altering a photo I took of lizards humping on my house! :p

Sunrise on the Beach

My favorite thing to do every Easter is wake up and watch the sun rise on the beach with my kids. These are pics from this year.

The moon was still out when we got to the beach.

sun starting to light the sky ...

even more ...

Almost there ...

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

original Faery Wings ideas

I never could get the look right. I like the simple look I finally came up with. :)

Images of Old ...

Here are some images I did a while back for a message board I used to own. I may not be an artist, but playing with images has always been sort of an escape and relaxation for me.

This is the dark side of me. Lonely and angry.

On this one I took a black and white photo and colorized it. I added Tink in the tree and my name embedded in the snow.

This one I used tiled as a background. It depicts my spirit wanting to fly free.
