T Stands for Monday Ramblings and Sharing

Elizabeth has her T-Day post up and I am getting ready to join the party......you should come along too.  A post of drinks, or food, or both will get you in the door.  I'm using my Pinterest coffee cup for this post, just because I'm too darn tired, from cleaning house and running errands, to take a photo of my Bulletproof coffee, then do all the rest, just to show you a cup that looks like it has a latte in it.

Bulletproof coffee is part of the Keto diet, I'll give the recipe ....and it sound absolutely horrible, but tastes amazing.  I've been finding it my "go-to" in the afternoons. One cup/mug of very hot coffee, one scoop of MCT powder  and one tablespoon of all natural, grass fed, unsalted butter.  Then I throw it all in my Ninja and blend it really well.  It is very creamy with a hint of coconut.  It is supposed to provide increased focus, effortless energy( not really sure about the effortless part LOL) and suppress your appetite. A friend recommended it, and says it really helps her energy level and gets rid of the belly bloat.  I've become such a slug that I'm game to try most anything.  This is day 3 and I woke up with more energy than I have had in awhile, so we will see going forward. 

I know there is a lot of bad talk about this Keto diet and it took me some deep digging before I would try any part of it.  My friend has followed Dr. Colbert's detox (all vegan) a couple of times, and it has really helped her immune system disorders.  He has started recommending the Keto more and more, and what he had to say interested me, so I'm giving it a shot.

How About Some Art?

My last post was a journal page made with alcohol inks, and I loved the way it turned out. 

 I had forgotten how much fun it is to get all inky!  Being me (and you know that can lead to something else) I taped down some 140 lb. watercolor paper and covered it with a light coat of gesso, then let it dry..........Let the FUN begin!!!!!!!

I was so excited at what happened when I started moving the colors around with my heat gun, I would have done the Happy Dance.........but the heat gun was plugged into the wall.....not a very long cord.

I was SO pleased with them, I went and bought some frames for them.  I want to show them at The Shafter Colours Festival next month, along with my paintings. These all framed 16"x 20" frames, art is 11'x 14".

The actual pictures look so much better than this in real life.  I was having a hard time getting ANY photos that morning that didn't have so many reflections on the glass, that is why they all look like they are hanging crooked.

Sharing the Art Baton

  This is our 8 year old granddaughter that lives in the San Diego area.  I'm so proud of her, I can hardly get my shirt off over my head!!!   I want to go and see what she did so bad, but we have another commitment Friday night, and not enough time to get there Saturday by 2:00!  My heart is just breaking, but her Mom will send me some photos I hope I can share.

Well, that's about it for me this T-day, now it's time to link up with Elizabeth and see what the T-gang
is doing.

Thanks for all the comments last week.......don't we all just love a good comment????
