Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf,

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day,

Nothing gold can stay.

-Robert Frost

Izzy posed for me & this Robert Frost poem is what came to mind.

She's an old & weathered kitty, but will always be my baby sunshine!

Been working hard on my crafts! I've vowed to an all local or crafted holiday,

so I'm busy pumping out Jess productions in time for Christmas!

I finished this one, entitled "Accessories" just in time for Jen's birthday!

This little beauty is called "Midnight Beats", it's not finished in this photo.

More birds, lol! It's a common theme right now~

I don't have a name for this one yet, its been a work in progress!

My supplies...

Ahhh... finally finished!

At work, I've been busy helping out with our VG Community.

They collected 50 coats for donation.

We hit the road & delivered them without a hitch!

Look at those muscles!

It feels great to give back to the Denver community!

When we got back to work, we caught a tremendous event!

I think the photo explains itself!

On Saturday, the girls, Jake & I relaxed.

Why did we rest you might ask? Because Maura was having a house party! Oh yeah!

Audrey & Jonny went to Maura's early for some pre-party dinner, but Jonny had plans to make us laugh! I think he might grow up to be a comedian!

Look everybody! I fit down here!

He played "Night, night,... good morning" and we laughed until my sides where hurting!

Jonny is a charming boy!

Where did Jonny go?

When the guests arrived, the fun turned more adult.

Laura! I love this lady!

Audrey enjoying a drink!

R.C. & Maura - I don't think he was photo ready, but Mau-town sure was!

 

Nate!!!

Nick, Jake & Eric

(I'm starting to think Nick has a crush on Jake!)

Love this one! Shane with the champagne!

Laura (with the ninja), Naomi & I

 

We partied hard with those guys, but it didn't stop me from meeting Sheena & Aunt Tricia for some Sunday crafting!

There's lots of work to get done before Christmas!

Stamp embossing is wicked awesome!

Sheena working on her project.

Auntie working on some beading & rock caging.

That embossing tool is so phallic!

Maura & Stacey, please don't look at the next two photos!!!!!

Words to live by...

Sheena with a Hallelujah!

I hope your weekend was equally as awesome!

There's lots more work ahead of me, wish me luck!
