All three of my sons were in Boy Scouts, One stayed in for many years and had lots of momentos to show for it. I hated to just leave them in a box, at that time we weren't doing scrapbooking so I gathered them all up and put together in a shadowbox frame. It has hung on the wall for many years.
I painted this picture in 1975 after a trip to Colorado. We stopped at a relatives home and this was the view out their back door.

Years ago I took a photoshop class at the local jr.college. This was a result of one of our assignments.

This is another oldie. It was painted in acrylic and given to my brother. 1970's I recently found a 1st place ribbon from the fair for this picture.
I have taken several ceramic classes and just don't quite have the hands for it. You would think the way I like to do the really hands on type projects that ceramics would have been a good fit, but nope - not for me; now my husband on the other hand took a class a few years ago and really enjoyed it - go figure. I made this one in jr. college.
