Some Journal pages

Just some journal pages that I've been working on lately.

Week two

This is my page for week two of Janis's 52 Q challenge. when I was little I wanted to be two things, a prima ballerina or a beatnik. What did you want to be?

Mini book of Me

Hi Guys...Janis over at Pause,Dream,Enjoy is posting a weekly question and giving hints on how to make a mini book about yourself. This is going to be so much fun and you have a week to work on each question. So check out her blog, she's a sweetheart.

I've posted my first page and the tag to go with it.

The Bed from Hell.

Don saw this big, four poster bed and he really had to have it. So we bought it. But in the process of putting it together, I smashed my finger (twice)....put a big gash in one of my shins and have a lump the size of a plum on the other shin....and Don smashed his toe.
We finally got the bed together, after a lot of swearing and cussing (in several languages) and when we got into bed that night...it collapsed! We ended up laughing ourselves to sleep.

For a friend

A good friend of mine, who now lives in Nevada, has a sweet, nine year old grand-daughter who has Autism. She loves to receive mail so I made her this card for her and I plan to put some of those fancy shaped rubber bracelets inside the card.
Have you ladies seen these bracelets yet? I think they're adorable. They come in every shape imaginable and the kids love to trade them. They look like regular bracelets on your wrist, but when you take them off, they go right back to their original shape. Darn it!....I wanna be a kid again.

Journal pages

Hi all, it's been way too hot here to work in my studio, so I went back to working in my trusty art journal. I've been away from it way too long. It's like coming back to a good friend. So here are a couple of pages I did recently. Hope you like them.

J.J. for July.

Hi Guys....Hope everyone had a good week-end. Don and I had a nice relaxing week-end, Saturday night we had a nice dinner of fillet Mignon, corn- on- the cob and some wine. Then we watched "Clash of the Titans." The movie was a lot better then I anticipated.

Sunday we barbecued some ribs, had some beer then watched "The A-Team", also a pretty good movie.

I did manage to make another J.J. card for my sister, the inside says..."yes, just not as good as I use to." I'm also working on some more gifts when ever I can, it's just been so very hot and humid here and there doesn't seem to be any relief in site. Oh well, it's better then snow and ice.

Okay, I'm off to the post office to mail some packages then stopping for a Caramel Frappe at Mc Donald's, have you tried those yet? DELICIOUS!

I hope you all have a great week......Hugs!

Sorry...

Sorry I haven't posted much art work lately. We were away for a few days and since we've came back the temperatures have been hovering between 95 and 100 degrees and very humid. My studio is up stairs and even with the AC on, that room tends to be very warm. So I've just been getting in a lot of reading time, which I'm enjoying.

If any of you are looking for some good mystery books try reading some by Harlen Coben. He has some really good books. Right now I'm reading his book "Caught". He';s a great writer, if you like mysteries. I may be a little partial, because most of his books take place in the area of NJ where I grew up. LOL.

Too many choices

We just went out for ice cream and I asked for a vanilla cone, the server said, "What kind?' I said "Vanilla" she said,"We have vanilla, creamy vanilla, classic vanilla, golden vanilla, original vanilla, vanilla bean, french vanilla and New England vanilla." So I said " I'll have maple walnut." Come on...do we really need 8 varieties of vanilla ice cream???

Drama Queen

Hi Everyone. I hope you all had a great week-end. This is my latest piece, the color is a little washed out, it's a lot deeper in person. I added one of my handmade tulle flowers and some black lace. With six grand-daughters, I'm sure one of them will earn this piece, as well as the title.

Chocolate Luau

The Chocolate Luau was great. They had a chocolate fountain with marshmallows, pineapple, sponge cake and rice krispie treats. There was also some really hot and spicy chocolate called Volcano bark. My favorites were the chocolate covered gummy bears. And best of all, everyone left with a gift bag filled with chocolate.

Pretty and Practical

Hi Guys....I just finished my first altered clothespin. It's 9 inches tall and can be used to hold notes, recipes or a picture. I still need to decorate the back, but this is it so far. I hope you like it.

J.J. for June

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great week. It's really hot and humid in New England today, but I refuse to complain. Summer is way too short here, so I'll enjoy every bit of it.
So...here's my latest J.J. card. She will be on her way to my sister. I send my sister a card a month, she loves receiving cards and I love sending them.

Enjoy the rest of your week, see you soon.

Happy Solstice!

Summer time and the livin is easy.......happy solstice everyone.

Owl

Hi Guys....I just wanted to show you all my latest creation, my orange owl. I used some Prima bling, some antique buttons ,some Prima flowers and a handmade flower. Hope you like him.

A Work of Art

Has anyone watched the new show on Bravo called "Work of Art"? The person who's art I liked the best was the first person voted off. What does that say about me? LOL

Journal page swap

I was just recently in a Journal Page swap over on Your Paper Pantry and my partner likes Halloween so this was the page I did for her.

Baby JillyBean

Hi everyone, just wanted to show you another card, this one is for my youngest grand-daughter, Jillian. We call her JillyBean, so that's what I named my card.

Katrina

Meet Katrina, a sweet little Goth Girl from Tiddly Inks stamps. I had so much fun making this card. I just think she is so cute.

Another card

Hi All....hope everyone had a nice holiday week-end. I know I did....I ate way too much food. Anyway I've been making cards like crazy so here is another one for one of my grand-daughters. Hope you like it.
