I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N ... I'll be unplugged much of the time but may pop in when you least expect it.

VACATION: Day Seven -

"Poise"

I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N ... I'll be unplugged much of the time but may pop in when you least expect it. Today's post, for example, is for the irresistible Illustration Friday where the theme is poise. What self-respecting young lady wouldn't find some of that in a new, black handbag?

I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N ... I'll be unplugged much of the time but may pop in when you least expect it. For instance, this Thursday Challenge piece for the weekly theme of building.

Illustration Friday: Subtract -

"The Appraiser (Subtracting the Deductible)"

Subtract is the weekly theme at Illustration Friday and who hasn't had this issue with their car insurance company? Anyway, it did seem to fit and here you have it.

I should mention that, since Sunday is my birthday, I'll only be around and about from time to time for the next ten days or so. Too, I'm on vacation all of next week and expect that I'll quite likely go unplugged. Posts will be seen every day, as usual, but will be timer-loaded over the weekend. I'll not be visiting other blogs much of the time next week either so don't take it personal ... I should be back to my regular schedule by March 30th if not sooner.

Illustration Friday: Sail -

"Sailing into Vacationland"

I'm finally here! V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! As I've been saying for weeks now, I'm going unplugged for the next few weeks ... well, that's the plan at least. So, while I have enough artwork loaded in the system so there will be posts every day, I won't actually be here very often, won't be posting comments to your blogs nor answering comments here. We'll get caught up at the end of the month. Okay? Do miss me yet? Don't worry, it's going to seem like I was never gone! :D

Making preparations -

"Beauty, Sleeping"

I know, I know, the same old song ... as in I'm still getting prepared for my vacation and 2 weeks unplugged. Can't stay to talk longer, there's still lots to do.
