Not sure I want to come out today

It is snowy, it is dark and cold. The sun has not made an appearance in days.
I have been in hibernation mode.
Laying on the couch,
remote in hand..
dog curled up at my side.
Yup...during times like this I find it so much easier to hide.

Best friends

They could stare into each others souls forever...

I used two textures on this:
one by skeletal mess and the other by una certa.
The cat image is from pareerica.
The window and the little girl are by me.
Pareerica, skeletal mess, and una cierta can all be found on flickr. They are all talented artists who share their art with the world.

And the winner is....

Oh my friends, I have been late, very late..to a way gone by date!
I delayed choosing the winner of my OWOH contest for a couple of reasons. The one that sounds the best is that I wanted to build the excitement..so I will go with that!
In order to choose the lucky number,
I called upon my magic numerator generator. His name is "Casey" and he is also known as my youngest son. This most handsome numerator generator randomly chose the number "8" as the winner!! Number "8" happens to also have a blog which you can find here.
Congrats Robbin!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hi, and to enter my 2010 OWOH giveaway!

True Strength

This is a mixed media collage. It is on a 5 x 7 piece of canvas board.
I used an photograph of mine, pages from an old latin dictionary, lace and scented drawer liners that my mom bought me a few years ago.
I loved this quote and decided to incorporate it into the piece.
It has been a very quiet weekend around here. Hubby is at "man camp" up in Speculator.
The most noise I have heard is the dogs barking! So I had a lot of time to do a little painting!
Hope all is well with my readers out there!
oh..and I do plan on listing this in my shop..distressing delilah's!

Then I felt pain.

When all the words were said
and
silence was all I heard,
then
I felt pain.
It is an empty,
lonely pain.
No one joins me
in keeping it company
The pain and I,
we dwell alone.

Hold those close to you, close...and then,
hold them
even closer.

Be Mine

Be mine...to my true Valentine..

Always Come Back

Always come back,
promise me you will.
Whether it is in the softness of a newborn rose,
or a touch of light dancing in the dawn,
always come back.
No matter if you just sigh a warm breeze,
and ease if slowly over my cheek,
or touch my heart,
while I sleep,
always come back.
I want to hear you sing when the world is silent
I want to feel your,
presence
fluttering
across the base of my neck.
When the world can no longer hold my sorrow
promise me,
to always come
back.

A remarkable assemblence

It could be seen from the edge of the road,
an opening in the brush,
a natural doorway to a nether world.
Where faeries dance and angels sing.
