    T Tuesday: new supplies edition

    February 17, 2015 - By 

    Hey, it’s Tuesday…you know what that means… T stands for Tuesday_200I am so excited about the new supplies I ordered. I’ve had them on my wish list for quite some time. T Tuesday new suppliesI’m already having fun playing with them. Yesterday, I used my gelatos to create this background. So much fun!!

    I’ve also used the bubbles stencil with some molding paste and sprays on the cover of my Watkins journal. Amazing what turns up when you start organizing.watkins coverwatkins cover

    Look at the fun texture!! watkins coverwatkins cover

    I used a vintage map of Hawaii as the first layer to cover the bright orange covers of the original cook book. Why Hawaii? you ask… Why not?!?!  I love the colors on the back…kind of wish it were the front. watkins journal

    Here’s a little recap of the pages inside. It certainly was a quick little journal to fill.

    While admiring my new supplies…I had a friend join me for tea….gracie

    Oh so helpful cat when trying to work and get organized. “Here let me sit on your lap so you may have the privilege of petting me.”gracie

    She’s not so happy to get her photo taken. Just look at that crabby face. Likely because I stopped petting to take the photo.

    I’ve got grocery shopping on list today…

    What are you doing today?

    Dream a little dream

    February 16, 2015 - By 

    I’m loving my new clutter free work zone. I’m working very hard at putting things back where they belong when I’m finished. I’ve also been purging some items that I will never in a millions years use. Mostly items that I’ve picked up at sales…when you get a whole box lot of things for one price. Sometimes you find real treasures but others…ick…awful cutesy scrapbook supplies from the really early days.

    Another reason for me to keep things clutter free and organized is that I’ve gotten a few new supplies and they of course need a home. I’ll tell you more about those tomorrow…I know…such a tease.dream a little dream

    I will show you the journal page from yesterday though. I used one of my new supplies on the background. Can you guess what it may have been?dream a little dream

    New journal page

    February 13, 2015 - By 

    I’m continuing to be drawn to my new Gypsy jounral. I’m going with the flow…letting it happen naturally. This is not a favorite page in it’s entirety but I am fond of parts of it.blossom jounral pageI feel as if I could have married the two pages better for a more unified look.

    For some reason the flower makes me think of an artichoke…not a fully mature one but it has that shape in my mind. Or perhaps if an artichoke and a water lily had a love child…this would be the product.
