It's called "Dawdling" ...

...it's what I do!

My daughter sent me a year's worth of photos to make her a calendar. I began to get bored and started to play...

I can go back to working on the calendar tomorrow...
As only Louise can do! This is a great fun image!

This is great - very creative.
February 7th, 2016  
Awesome,what a fabulous postcard, so creative :-)
February 7th, 2016  
Fabulous = fav. I guessed it was yours before I saw that it was - your signature on it!
February 7th, 2016  
this is just fabulous!
February 7th, 2016  
An instant fav! So cute, and such adorable subjects!
February 7th, 2016  
Super fun Louise and I so agree, leisure time - time for play - is sooo important! Wonderful outcome :)
February 7th, 2016  
Love Love Love it Louise!! Just wonderful!! I love your dawdling!! I want to sit beside you as you dawdle and watch how you create such a wonderful image!! Fav!!

Terrific Louise
February 7th, 2016  
This is just brilliant! You are so creative.
February 7th, 2016  
It's fabulous. You're so clever.
February 7th, 2016  
a brilliant image, I think I would put this on the cover of the calendar!
February 7th, 2016  
That's a a great idea and knowing you Louise, it will turn out just perfect for the occasion

@judithdeacon Just up and getting going this morning...looking at this with "fresh eyes"... Thanks for that comment... I think my cover is complete! (See, I'd been "working on it" all along!)

@kwind @salza @365projectlinda @nickspicsnz How I wish I'd had your kind of encouragement when I was in art school... Thank you SO MUCH!

@pamknowler We'll be amidst a VERY creative group of people, but I would absolutely LOVE to give a demo as to how I go about this....in actuality, it's quite simple... It wouldn't take long to show you...

@teiko @fjmom Thank you both...my "up north" friends! This gave me just the break I needed from "my project"!

@quietpurplehaze @bizziebeeme Thank you both so much! It feels so good that I somehow have created "a signature style"... Your comments alone give me a happy feeling as I begin the day!

@gilbertwood Thanks for liking the "quotes"... Just thoughts that came to me as I "worked at play"! As Judith, just above suggested, I think this would be cute on the cover of the calendar as it speaks to facing each day in the year!
February 7th, 2016  
Love this, Louise! I'm with Pam . . . I would love to watch a demo! I can only image how much fun that would be! :-)
February 7th, 2016  
Thanks for you lovely and beautiful postcard. A little late arrived as the postmark say`s 1909. (kidding , it`s a fav. )
February 7th, 2016  
Very cute!
February 8th, 2016  
@pyrrhula Crazy that it should have arrived so late! I mailed it at 12:30!

@pamknowler @gaylewood My daughters are coming for a visit (with kids!) but I'm mulling an idea that they can help me make a video of the process. Don't hold me to it, but I do think it would be fun to share. There are others who are far more capable and creative (think Mike Gifford), but what I can offer is that the process I use is so simple. It would be easy enough to demo. I use photoshop, so it's only from that starting point I could show how. Let me know...
February 8th, 2016  
Oh gosh, better you than me. Sounds like a big job.
February 8th, 2016  
@Weezilou I would definitely be interested in watching a demo video. I'm sure it would be similar to a YouTube tutorial, correct? I watch those regularly and always learn a lot in the process. :-)
February 8th, 2016  
Being creative is so much fun.
February 8th, 2016  
@Weezilou I would love see a video of your working process Louise but it sounds a bit complicated - don't go to too much trouble. I am hoping to watch some Photoshop tutorials this week on Layers which is what I am struggling with. You are too kind Louise!!
February 8th, 2016  
@Weezilou Also just thinking - don't waste any time you could be having with your daughter and especially your grandkids - such precious moments to treasure!!
February 8th, 2016  
@Weezilou I thought it was the year of posting .
Thanks for you so nice comments and the fav.
February 8th, 2016  
@gaylewood That's what I had in mind. As Pam @pamknowler noted, the next two weeks are heading into high gear with all my family home. Now, in a lull, either of my daughter's IS capable of helping me do something like that, and we'll all enjoy it. So much depends on the kiddos (1-2-3 & 5!) I'll let you know. I'd certainly enjoy making something for youtube; I post stuff all the time under the name weezilou
February 8th, 2016  
So creative and fun! Love the raincoat and buttoning...fun boots.
February 9th, 2016  
Too cute. I think you should put your raccoon video on tube and send it into Funniest home videos.
February 10th, 2016  
@sailingmusic Mine are "just cute"... The *Funny* one was of the raccoon stealing the cats' food and running out of the garage on his hind legs!
February 10th, 2016  
Now this is the creative kind of photo I would want on the calendar! So fun!
February 10th, 2016  
@judithdeacon Thanks for your always-uplifting messages! I finished the calendar last night and, yes, with a bit more embellishment using the older brother, too, this did end up being the cover! I thought of you as I finished it!
