Hi Rita! Thank you. The inks are a nice bright addition to the sketchbook. I’d love to keep my working palette to twelve colors, but that’s not gonna happen. I just got some new colors from DickBlick.com. The singles are selling for about $1.50 ea.

Yep, too many veggies and not enough tummies to put them in. I’ll swap you my zucchini bread recipe for your cake recipe. Never met a cake I didn’t like.

Thank you Kasie! If you have kids, make that fun X 10!

Thank you Meg! The inks are really bright and I just love playing with them.

So, slugfest ‘07 was a resounding success? Yay! Yep, everybody wants the strawberries, don’t they? Psssst, they’re good on vanilla ice cream too.

Have you tried battered and fried thinly sliced zucchini? It’s great with burgers instead of french fries. Try Cooks.com for recipes… I think that’s where I found one that was pretty good.

Thanks to your wonderful slug trap suggestion, I am overrun with strawberries, so I feel your pain. However, they’re much easier to get rid of than zucchini. I’ve only had to make one cobbler.

I really like the depth those inks bring to your pieces!

I so understand about being busy. I have been anxious to work on art myself but Summer has been go, go, go!

Between art and growing veggies it seems that one needs a day planner just to get daily chores organized during the summer.

As far as the zuchini goes I should give you a recipie I have for Chocolate zuchini cake that is absolutely scrumptious! I always grow to much to eat too… I guess my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
