fat bottomed girls

finally playing with paper, adhesive, and glitter glue again! it feels gud!!! ATCs for Danica's (over at SiStv) Retro Fab ATC Swap #2.

it was sort of a multiple choice challenge, vintage object, color combo, and song lyrics/thread/garage implement (for texture or an embellishment). I choose the bike (altho' my graphic wasn't vintage!), black & white for the colors, and Queen's Bicycle Race lyrics, esp. the line about fat bottomed girls out for a ride! curvy grrls ROCK!!!

ok, so my biker grrl is a bit slim, and looks a bit like Tinkerbell, but I love her all the same!

gnarly downhills!

true mtn. biking!
I didn't even know how much I've missed you!!!
how long has it been? whaaat? 9 YEARS?!
single track
the rocks, the roots,
supah soft, quicksand like earth,
the smell of bay leaves,
the challenge of the uphills,
the exhilaration of the downhills,
the bruises, the chain marks, the sore muscles, even the mosquito bites...
all worth it!

lets do it again!!! : .)

hello : .)

hello running shoes
hello asphalt
hello sunshine
hello cool breeze
hello dragonfly
hello sweat
hello sanity
hello perspective
hello, hello, hello!!!
