Virginia is for lovers... of mountains

Mike and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley! We had a photo safari on Friday, so here is a tour..



This is a view of downtown Harrisonburg, you can see the Court House, some tall buildings, and lots of JMU housing!



Here is an upclose pic of the Court House. I have only been inside twice- once in high school when our government class got to witness a few court cases which was interesting because one of the defendant's was a previous classmate- yikes. The second time was when I got my marriage license.



Here is a view of the top of JMU. I like JMU because of the red roofs and their colors are purple and gold!



That pointy mountain is Massanutten. It is where some Virginians go skiing and it is where my mom lives! She lives closer to the bottom of the mountain!

Maybe there will be some snow pictures when we travel back to VA for Christmas!

Happy Halloween!

Mike and I carved pumpkins on Thursday night. Can you guess which one he carved?




Crowbars up! We dressed up as the Wet Bandits from Home Alone!

Marv!

Harry! I should have taken off my rings to be more in character, but I was very proud of my gold tooth made from a rolo wrapper!

2 more

I finished these two minis the other day, a spider and a baby peanut chair sitting on a peanut chair!
I feel like I have been getting a cold this week, :( so I've been drinking a ton of water, and staying inside with sweatpants on and painting instead of going to a soccer game.

just two penguins hanging out...

snail, flamingo, hen and fish!

is this not the most awesome sweater you have ever seen???

sadly, it is on sale at jcrew and still $90! :o(

Robots!

I finished 4 more mini paintings for artomat. Robots are super fun to paint! I have 2 more finished, but I couldn't get a good picture of them. tear.

In other art news, I have been loving my ceramics class! It has been really fun, but I have yet to glaze anything, I don't know what to do! And I have been thinking of some new ideas for bigger paintings... involving multiple octopuses.. octopi?
