it has begun imploding.  If i'd seen it at it's peak,  this largest one would have been flat and at least 10 inches across.

Acey is needing a few days off.   No prompt this morning and i feel like i've returned from a parallel universe.    Everything has a different quality.   We will finish the 30 days in a few days.    This card has been next to me all along but i haven't looked at it.  It's the kraft paper cards that i'd found just before she offered the Challenge.   This one has a little experimental Inktense.   I looked today and see there is also now another option.   The world is even bigger than it was before.    

i got an email from my Belov~ed sister friend Sydney.   If you've been around a long time,  you might remember her and her daughter Talula.  Sydney and Sheila and Talula and Jamie.   They have also moved from Polvadera,  to Albuquerque.   She says she reads Talula the blog as she's drifting off to sleep at night.   Talula is somewhere around 14 i think?   Is this the most Wonder FULL thing?  it is.  It's so wonderFULL i keep re~thinking it…think about how BeautyFull a mother and daughter can be.

    Grace do you have a good mushroom book to identify? I was hoping it was Hen of the Woods but it’s too flat. Husband will be interested in looking in the morning when his mind is clearer.
    I sort of felt odd all day- not having made the collage in the morning time after breakfast. Like a piece was missing. To the day. Yes, a parallel universe. How quickly we adapted to this new thing.

    Are any of these mushrooms edible? I was gone over the weekend and so had catch up collages to make. Just today noticing the waning of the energy. Or shifting?

    we had mushrooms like this at the other house … I remember spotting in the distance and thinking “why did someone put a pumpkin in the side yard?” … must’ve been November … the size and color were off the charts
    And yes, the new potential for your cards (and for mine … so many blanks stashed, now I have a sense of what they might become) … Acey has given us all an amazing gift

    adapting…i think it’s Acey’s SKILL at teaching with
    Collage
    i have a pretty good ID thing. I think it’s a
    Western Jack olantern mushroom. Poisonous.
    Could maybe be a Lobster mushroom but that’s wishful thinking…edible.
    I need to take an ID workshop.

    i think the waning of energy is her absence.
    i am sure there are edible ones. But it’s a true do or die thing. I need to become much better educated.

    Grace – I’ve been having trouble leaving comments on other typepad blogs … trying to see if your blog is also blocking me

    Liz…it’s Thursday. Yesterday and today your comments were in the SPAM. I go there everymorning because for a while now Michelle and Patty of Listentotheroad have ended up there. I just click and publish them. In a way, it’s no big deal. totally similar to blogs that say delay for approval. Hardly a delay at all. hours.
    I don’t understand Why. And i have put in a help ticket with Typepad about it. No good answer.
    But your words DO appear. I read them and FEEL them and can respond. I guess it’s how it is right now. Just as it came out of nowhere, it might go back into nowhere again.
    But we are Good in the meantime.
