Countrified Mosaic

Phewwww, what a weekend....

I think I logged about 18 hours of blog time!!

On Friday I joined up with Tootsie and her Flaunt Your Flowers Friday Party.

What fun that was...I love flowers, so it was a "must" for me.  Unfortunately, now we are going into Winter here and I don't know what I'll have for flowers to flaunt again next week??? Yet, another challenge.

Anyway, I don't know how many times I lost myself in all the Flower posts.

There are soooo many great photographers and gardeners out there. 

I found myself overwhelmed with ideas and inspiration...so much that I bounded out of my chair, grabbed my camera and went outside to take pictures, lots of pictures, 100 gigabytes of  pictures!!!!  And then I remembered it was cloudy and raining and cold and windy!  I came back inside...my hubby asks,"what are you doing?"  I answered, "nothing" and went back to the computer.  So much for inspirational photos today!

Maybe tomorrow though?

I do want to share a couple of the great blogs I found this weekend....

If you get a chance, pop in on them and see for yourself.

http://redwillowlisa.blogspot.com/  Lisa is a photographer from Canada,

her photos of nature, etc. are breath-taking...

I love that her name is Lisa and she has a cat that looks just like ours!!

With all that in common, maybe karma will send some of her talents my way too???LOL

And

http://krensgarden-karen.blogspot.com/  Karen is a fun gal from Wisconsin.

I was literally laughing out loud reading her posts.  The photos are gorgeous, and 

wait till you see their backyard!!!

So in all the visiting and admiring others' great blogs, I realized tomorrow is Mosaic Monday.

Hmmmm, what to mosaic???  I was suddenly blank, empty, knock,knock, nobody home blank.

I browsed through all my files of pictures (all 1248 of them)

Still Blank...

Fall, Flowers, Fall, Sunsets....uh uh! Nada! 

My mind felt like a wet noodle, I was seeing ghosts of pumpkins in my head.

I'm tired of hunting pictures, but I did another collage anyway...

That one was for my husband and his buddies.  I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Then a glimpse of hope....

An old barn, and an old weed....

Some fun on Corel Paint Essentials

Ahhh, that's pretty....

More fun with Piknic....

Let's switch over to Picasa

these are okay, but how about.....

Mixing it up a little?

Yes, I think I've got it!!

Happy Mosaic Monday!!

and thanks a bunch for stopping by my blog.
