Old photos and watercolors

I got a little crafty last night. I got the idea from Johanna about altering old photos. I love getting funny old photos from the antique stores, so I scanned these three and altered them just a little with my justjohanna stamps. If you've been to my 2peas gallery, you've seen them already, but here they are again, just for fun: For some reason, I am totally getting into watercoloring. I've always been interested, but afraid to try since I'm not very artistic. I've been sharing my quest with Cindy at work and come to find out, she's doing the same thing! We went to Mickey's Art Store in Escondido today at lunch time and bought some stuff. We will be going back there again since she has such cool stuff! I'll share my progress with the painting as we go along. Right now I'm just sketching my little heart out.
