Lillie Kleemeyer, of Xquizit Pix, had the GREAT idea of doing my photo shoot in the storm drains under Las Vegas. We were tromping along in the stinky, pitch black darkness, turned a corner and found this insanely perfect set up of junk AND a couch right under a grate. Isn't the natural lighting awesome!

The beauty of the grafitti really surprised me. I can't believe what people are creating down there in the dark!

Tim Holtz shows you how to use Grungeboard

Grungeboard - it's the weirdest, coolest paper. Is it paper however or what? It's a dingy, pliable material that you can do just about anything to.  Here's Tim, the cutie pie, to demonstrate the cool ways to use Grungeboard.

What's even funnier to me, is that for some wierd reason I kept singing this during our road trip through Oregon! Somehow this image never came to mind. I don't know why not? LOL!!!

A little taste of summer

Happy 4th of July!

 Even with all the craziness and things I wish were different, I feel so proud and blessed to live in America!  I am very thankful for all the people, throught out the history of our country, that have made it possible to live in a free country.

Here's a you tube video of the great Lee Greenwood song:, "I'm Proud to Be an American"
