Trucks and ICAD Week 1

That weekend we had with our daughter and grandson's was a really fun one.  They got to check out the little excavator that was left in the yard for the outside project we're having done.  

The day was cool and there was a beautiful breeze and after playing outside for a bit, then having lunch, she wanted to take them to Polar Cub for ice cream.  This little guy held onto that spoon for a very long time afterward.  But we were on our way to another adventure...... Touch a Truck at the local county college not too far from us.  

 

GS2 got to go in every vehicle that was open and even managed to turn the lights and siren on one of them unexpectedly.  There were all kinds of heavy machinery there, including a trash truck, and all the local emergency vehicles.  They also had food trucks there at the end.  Papa and I skipped that part and headed home - they weren't too far behind us.  Rachel and I took the kids to Target and then we all came home and crashed.  It was wonderfully exhausting.

This is the 11th year that I'm doing the ICAD challenge and I know that I promised to post each week, but somehow here we are at day 21 and I haven't posted anything yet.  So to keep this from being a mega post, I will start with only the first week here and now.

My Title Card 

Strips of Origami Star Paper with some markers for the background.  The letters and year on kraft stickers with some gel pen line work.

Day 1/61 - Doorway or Portal

Pro-Marx Ultra fine Marker, PaperMate Ink Joy Bright Gel Pens, QiLi Metallic Colored Pencils

Day 2/61 - Zinnia

Sharpie Pain Pens, General's Pastel Pencils, PaperMate Ink Joy Brights Gel Pens

Day 3/61 - Gradient

Ohuhu Alcohol Markers

Day 4/61 - Tree

I realized that I needed to update our family tree but I couldn't fit the names in quite well enough to suit me so this is a little different.  While we all share the same roots, our offspring have "transplanted" to other forests.  Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, Micron.

Day 5/61 - Patisserie

Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils, PaperMate Ink Joy Brights Gel Pens

Day 6/61 - Owl

I revisited my tangle I named MYOWLZ adding some green leaves in between.  Micron, Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.

Day 7/61 - Lavender

Micron, Prismacolor Pencils.  When I did this I was thinking that the lavender was going to be ready soon and I might make some more this year.  I'll have to check tomorrow first thing to make sure I didn't miss out.

I'll be back soon with the next two weeks.  Hoping everyone is staying cool.  The temps here are climbing to that very uncomfortable point.
