I haven't seen a glorious clothesline like that in a long time-beautiful to see, & to hear the birds, although we're having more birdsong already here in Denver, some great warm weather, then a little snow today. Congrats on your keynote-what a gift to be able to do that. And one of my fun memories of NCTE is that Chris Lehman RT'd one of my tweets during his presentation! Fun, fun. Thanks for such a sweet 'tweet' post, including that awesome heading!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-10013522233002154042014-03-01T22:39:31.020-05:002014-03-01T22:39:31.020-05:00So many wonderful things to celebrate here.

Over lunch at the conference we got to talking and she bemoaned the fact that her dryer had broken. When I said, "that's why I love my clothesline" I got a lesson in freezing temperatures. It never dawned on me that clothes hung out up north would freeze. Florida native, that's my excuse.

I work in layers and for this one, I found the hands image,altered it and repeated it. Then I layered in the "pie" or ball, it's a pie if I'm going slices but my boys said it looked a bit like a basketball which they liked. I love playing with images.
