Hazzah! I finally completed this page. You can’t even imagine how many layers and colors are under this background or how many times I have walked away from this page in disgust. Believe it or not this page started out all cool pastels. I just couldn’t get myself to like it. Yellow isn’t my usual color either but it just felt right. Now I have to say that I love this page.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
There is a chill in the air again after a gorgeous day yesterday. Wishing for another day influenced my journal page.
Random bits of this and that make up this page. I attempted to use some ancient rub-ons for background interest. A few bees were the most successful. Lesson learned with rub-ons. Use them when you get them…don’t hang on to them for years and years then expect them to still work.
The quote is from a vellum sheet I had laying around. I’m working on using up some of my orphan bits and pieces. An art journal is the perfect place!
Linking up with Art Journal Journey once again. I can’t say this is a favorite quote but it is a good one.
I thought I’d share another page in my coffee theme altered book on this T stands for Tuesday. I can see the end of the book. I’m estimating I only have room for 3 more spreads. Longest project ever!!
Now that it’s nearing completion, I’m really trying to grind it out… *grin*
I thought I’d give a little peek at my seedlings. They are getting leggy…time to transplant into slightly bigger pots.
I also had to share this gorgeous photo of Gracie that Little J aka Mini-me aka JR took the other day. I knew she was using my camera but wasn’t sure for what. She definitely has an eye for lighting.
I’ve got errands, phone calls and chores on my list today. Living the dream. :)
What are you doing today?
I just went for it with this page.
I didn’t think. I didn’t plan. I didn’t even put my apron on…which is a bummer because now I have orange paint on my pants. Did I mention I’m a messy painter?
The other day while walking OUT of the bank…which was the last stop of my errands…I discovered that I had a clump of gel medium or maybe mod podge gluing part of my bangs together.
Nice. So classy. Made me think of the “hair gel” scene from Something about Mary… Perhaps I need to make a sign to hang on the door…”Look in the mirror before leaving the house.” As you may have guessed I’m not a terribly vain or high maintenance kind of girl.
I’m linking up with Art Journal Journey with this post. My journal page fit their theme! IT was meant to be!
Just a silly little found text story I created….
I finally had a bit of inspiration for my coffee theme AB (altered book).
The circles up the side are free hand cuts from security envelopes. The coffee image drove the repetition of the circles.
Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard. It’s time to share a beverage and talk about what ever the heck is on your mind!
Holy cow!! We’ve definitely had a week to remember…or at minimum…an early morning to remember. We found out that our volunteer fire dept has a really good response at 6:20 in the morning. And we didn’t even have a fire…just needed EMT’s. They just kept walking through my front door. I won’t go into the details but no transport was needed and all is fine now.
After commenting to friend about all the men in my livingroom that morning I saw this on Pinterest and it made me laugh!!
And back to normalcy. I created a cover page or perhaps it would be the title page for my latest journal. I decided to leave the name of the original owner of the book. It gives the book more history in my mind.
My seedlings are doing really well. I picked up an herb pot at Trader Joe’s and have placed it inside the protective plastic bin as well to keep it safe from you know who. Naughty Miss Gracie.
I also got the pink streak put in my hair again. 
The kids are on Spring Break this week. We are enjoying a mellow week at home. Little J and I saw Cinderella yesterday. It was pretty good. More sad than the animated version but not as dark as the original fairy tale.
I’m not sure what the rest of today has in store yet. That’s the beauty of vacation right?!?
What are you doing today?
