"A #2 Pencil And A Dream Can Take You Anywhere." Joyce A. Myers

I wish that someone could tell me who the artist is of these wonderful miniature carvings.  My orthodontist sent these to me via email and all I have are the images.  Aren't they AMAZING??

Thank you Dr. Land for sharing this with us.

Yabba Dabba Do!

This stone house tucked away in the Fafe Mountains of Portugal is constructed

with 2 large stones and concrete mix.  The rumor is that it was inspired by the Flintstone cartoon.  It attracts thousands of tourists yearly.  I would love to see interior pictures...wouldn't you?

Another Amazing Artist

Artist Federico Uribe originally from Columbia and who now lives and works in Miami.  He is a conceptual artist that uses the language of pop art by incorporating every day objects- pencils, pennies, shoes, books, shoe laces, etc.

Enjoy his wonderful sculptures and his website federicouribe!

 It is a great mix of styles and all "around"

This Is The Same Thing As Breathe In Pink....Breathe Out Blue!

I may switch up with my "temper reliever"

or a "pause for sanity"!

It has been some week with one of my jobs.

If something could go wrong ...IT DID!

All is good....We made it work.

Now, I can enjoy the weekend as I hope that you will do!

The prices are a steal too!!.. with nothing over $25.

Sleek Italian Designed Space Saving Furniture -

This is our future. 

As we get greener and see that we do not want to add to the carbon footprint we 

will learn to live with less and in smaller quarters.

What do you think?  Like living on a boat on land??
