Raindrops

It has been pouring buckets of rain for two days.  The power was out for hours.  I should have gone grocery shopping on Monday (for things like milk and bread) and I still haven’t gone, which I am blaming on the rain.  Last night when the power went out I was cleaning things up in my crafty room.  And after I got off the stool in the closet in the pitch blackness, I found some flashlights, and went back to organizing and cleaning up my room.

We’ve had some amazing lightening, the largest drops I’ve seen in a decade and even some dime sized hail.  I love to make stuff during rainstorms.  Or clean things (hence me standing on a stool in the closet when the power went out…) Yesterday I decided to make something rainy.

[ An art journal page from the online class I took this spring from RVA, see all my pages here. ]

It wasn’t this.  I made this page back in April.  But do you see that little pile of paper raindrops up in the right corner?  I used those up today.  The paper raindrops combined with a little dark gray thread and some chrome spray paint make me happy.  Only I can’t take a picture of it right now.  So you’ll just have to believe when I say it’s awesome.  I hope to get a picture sometime this afternoon, but it might not be until tomorrow.

What else am I doing in the rain?  Baking pie.  Delicious Pie.  Again, which I can’t take a picture of.  Happy Friday, I hope the rest of the weekend is filled with lightening and thunder and beautiful beautiful rainstorms.
