    A day of firsts

    For the first time in a very long time…since August I think…I created an art journal page. No question LOVE

    I noticed after completion that my color scheme is leaning toward Christmas. It must be that we are getting our first snowfall this season.  They say it’s going to be a big one too!

    Little J was supposed to leave on her first overnight field trip this morning but they postponed due to weather. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the disruption.

    I’ve already shoveled the driveway once and I know it’s only the first of many.

    This also is the first blog post that wasn’t a T stands for Tuesday post in quite sometime. I’m getting back on track…hopefully.

    T Tuesday: play it cool edition

    Good morning! Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!T stands for Tuesday_200

    I missed last week but I’m back and ready to show you another journal page. Art journals seem to be my major creative outlet these days.

    play it cool

    I got a little crazy with the colors on this one. Wild and messy yet soft and subtle. Really I threw every I had at hand at this one. Painted then torn book pages, washi tape, India ink and even an envelope seal sticker. Then I found the words…play it cool close up

    It fit my mood. I was creating in a chaotic manner…freeing my mind.  The words made me think of being a teen and goofing around…then all of a sudden an authority figure comes into view. Play it cool… Or was that just me? *grin*

    Speaking of playing it cool…

    poolWe were lucky to have one last dip in the neighbors pool before school starts next Tuesday! Sunday was a hot and sticky day…perfect for some splashing and an adult beverage.

    Errands and laundry are on my list for the day… What are you doing today?
