    I found my journal!

    the wallI can’t begin to tell you how annoyed I have been with myself for the past week or so. I misplaced my kira-kira journal.  Since I haven’t started a new one yet after finishing my cursed journal, it was my only journal space.  Yesterday, I stumbled upon it. I sat down with no idea in mind… just started with blue hues.

    A week or so ago I picked up a bunch of rubber stamps at Goodwill…one of them was a brick pattern. I stamped the bricks all over the page for texture. Then I was feeling I needed to use pink. As soon as I spritzed the pink along the top to make it run, I thought of Pink Floyd: The Wall.  There was no need to go any further. I just needed to write the words.

    T Tuesday: Piping hot edition

    red green teaSo glad you stopped by to join me for T stands for Tuesday.

    Now that the weather has turned, I’ve been consuming a lot of tea once my coffee is gone each morning.

    I think I spent a bit too much time in the cold garage painting my Pumpkin Minions…I definitely picked up some sort of bug.  Little J is home sick today with me. I guess I shared…wasn’t that nice of me?

    Did you notice  the shape in the steam?

    Look closely…

    heart tea

     

    Did you see the heart?

    I thought that was super cool…or maybe I should say hot. *grin*

    It’s going to be a really low key day around here.

    What are doing today?

    Pumpkin Minions

    pumpkin minionsWe decided to go a little different route with our pumpkins this year. They make me chuckle every time I look at them. They were so much fun to make!!

    I spray painted the pumpkin yellow then used acrylic paints to create the denim overalls. The goggle rim is a canning lid. I cut out a circle of card stock then painted an eyeball on each. The canning lid and card stock are hot glued to the pumpkin. The hair is black pipe cleaner that I stuck into holes created by poking a nail into the top of the pumpkin.

    Not too long after taking the photo I had to rush my minions into the garage since there was sleet falling on them. I put forth much effort to let some half frozen precipitation ruin them when the paint is is hardly dry!!
