The Wilmot Proviso, one of the major events leading up to the Civil War, would have banned slavery in any territory to be acquired from Mexico in the Mexican War or in the future, including the area later known as the Mexican Cession, but which some proponents construed to also include the disputed lands in south Texas and New Mexico east of the Rio Grande.

Americana- Philip A. Buck

There is a good chance that either I or my sister, Mary took this photo.  We were tossing the same camera back and forth between us that day, so who knows. I'll try to post something that's actually new this week if I get a chance.

Ornaments- Philip A. Buck

I went to what is often my default drawing:  Spider-man (with a badly drawn thumbs up.) I then sorta accidently made a tree that looks like a print...sorta...

Alright! Its that wonderful time of the year, and we are going to celebrate with a special Christmas (or whatever other holiday you celebrate) week here on the NEEDS MORE BLUE blog!  This week's topic is:

KETCHUP: (dance) Music- Philip A. Buck

I was just going to do something quick to make up for missing the "music" week, but I liked it so much that I ran with it and made it a full fledged project. hehe. I haven't finished the biggy, but here I offer a sneak peek as my "music week" piece. :) Hope ya dig.

EDIT: Since the Holidays are over, I've had a bit more time to finish up some projects- one of them being the peice inspired by the "music week" theme.  Here is a photo of it so far.

It's Punny

Sorry guys, I have been out of touch lately, and didn't realize it was my turn to post. SO this week's theme is Visual Puns. Example- throwing a watch into a trash can= wasting time.

Getting Caught Up-Ghosts, Eyes, Balloons

Little Princesses

Okay, so I took these on the honeymoon but they are probably my 2 favorite "photography photos" I took. (yes, I know the 1st isn't actually a princess, but she looks like a princess to me!)

Disney Princesses- Philip A. Buck

Like usual, I got carried away.  Originally, my much to ambitious plan was to have all of them in the scene, but it was taking so long that this is all I've been able to get done so far.  Maybe I will get to finish it some other time.

Maybe it's your favorite radio hit, or just a lovely melody that happened right now in your head. So what would that sound look like on paper?

Have fun all,
