I'm sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.


UPDATE 8/30: Marie's recovery is progressing well. She is expected to be moved to rehab very soon. Your notes of encouragement are being relayed to her.


UPDATE 9/3: Marie continues to make a slow recovery. Your notes of encouragement have been copied into a document and are being relayed to her. We all thank you for your concern.

Three Muses - Book

Books are nearly always among the gifts in our family at Christmas time.   An afternoon spent in a library is a special time for me.   I will always be grateful to my teacher from Grades 1 through 7, who instilled in me a fascination with the written word..... and I'll always be grateful to my father, who gifted me with an impish sense of humor.   I put both to use here.  I have to admit I had a bit of fun fashioning this book, naming it and giving the author an unlikely name.   I hope you enjoy my little play on words!
****
Marie has just kindly pointed out to me I've posted this on Monday night instead of Tuesday night.  Yikes!   My daughter and grandson are visiting and things are a bit chaotic at my house.  Coupled with the holiday, I am totally out of sync with what day it is!    I know you all will catch up with me sooner or later!

THREE MUSES 81 - ODD COUPLE

Hi it's me Ann and my challenge to you for this week is to create an ODD COUPLE.   You could mix and match with animals and people to create something very odd, or give your old grandma and grandpa a steampunk makeover OR may be you will create a very interesting  ODD COUPLE that will take us all by surprise.

However, if you are a bit stuck on where to start, here is a little sample for you inspiration.

Remember any medium and any style is most welcome and all we ask is that you have lots of fun!

Enjoy.

THREE MUSES 80 - Flowers


It's me, Bev. I started out planning to create something with poinsettias and snow, and suddenly my muse took charge and I ended with this breath of summer. What can I say? Do you suppose senility has set in??
