Mission: Barn Art

They say there's opportunity in every moment.

And when you come across an old barn, housing a rickety old truck- you gotta seize that opportunity, man!



I'll never forget that day...

While the last few minutes of our "adventure" involved prying my husband away from the oh-so-incredible scene, the first few minutes involved some good old-fashioned panic.

See, we initially parked waaay far away from the barn, and quickly found ourselves wading through a long ditch, filled with knee-high length grass, just so we could get close enough to shoot it.

That's when the good old-fashioned panic kicked in.

About halfway between the car and the barn, I started to visualize snakes.

And I don't know about you, but once I visualize something scary, it's over.

I had to abort "Mission: Barn Art"- and I had to abort it fast.

So after a quick glance at my feet to make sure I wasn't already standing on something slithery...

(no snakes, whew!)

...I whipped around and ran-walked back to the car as fast, but as calmly, as I could.

(Ya know- so that the folks in the cars driving past me wouldn't know I was freaking out or anything. I'm kind of a closet panicker.)

Anywho, Kevin never looked back.
He bravely forged ahead, and was able to get some great shots without incident.

That makes him a hero, right?

Have you seen this magnet before?



Well, I was thinking this might be a good one too...

LetteredCottageArt.com


Hey there!

Thank you for leaving such encouraging comments on yesterdays Design Star post. You really know how to make a girl feel good. :-)

I had pretty much decided that I was too busy to try out again this year, but now I'm having second thoughts! Mr. LC is concerned about the physical demands placed on the contestants, and the emotional beating they seem to take, year in and year out. He's worried that because it's not "real life", and because they force contestants to call out the "weakest link", it may not be the most positive place in the world for me to be. I don't know, I'll have to give it some more thought. Just out of curiousity, would you want to be a part of the show? Do you think your design style would properly translate throughout the season when you're limited to working against a strict clock with team members that will likely have a much different vision than you? I'd love to hear your opinion on the matter.


Speaking of Mr. LC, he has been working very hard over the past couple of weeks to create LetteredCottageArt.com. Today, I'm happy to announce that it is finally finished!
