Watching this one was a hoot! I was laughing at your conversation on the ducks and then the duck sound effects overlaid on the video...too funny!!! Sometimes when supplies are limited such wonderful things can come from it and this is one of those...thanks for sharing and taking the time to do the inspiration Wednesday even though you are in England and so busy.

I love what you did with limited supplies. I will have to force myself to do that more often and see what happens. It is so nice that your husband is your business partner and shares all of your "journeys"...very cool. Thanks for the inspiration!

Those pages came out so cool. I loved all the random words written with your different fonts. Only you could come up with something like that and make it look so cool. Love it.

Hi Donna, I love how you make drawing flowers so simple!! I just had my first try at drawing freehand poppies.. ermmmm, well... they SORT OF look like poppies, giggle! Thank you for inspiring me to try! So happy to see you on inspiration Wednesday this week, I've missed you blogging! Hope the rest of your trip is FABULOUS!! Hugs from New Zealand

You silly girl. Loved the right sideways, left sideways, and upside down video. Be safe. p.s. I don't like duck either. ew.

I didn't think a person could make art in a hotel room with wet media. I'm impressed. I really liked the lettering you did also. Thank you, both of you for inspiring me again!

A VERY stressful day at work, and it's lunchtime and I'm thinking "oh, Donna's out of town, she's not going to do Inspiration Wednesday", but thought I'd check anyway to see if you posted anything fun. Got REALLY excited when I saw you had posted; but when the duck sounds came on I almost lost it. People at work thought I was losing it...hahaha. Thanks Bill, that was worth it. And Donna, I loved your pages, as always. Enjoy England, and quit having so much fun! lol
Posted by: Cathy Skrehot | April 07, 2011 at 03:47 PM
