21st Century Pillow Book

Greetings! It's March 21st. My least favorite day of the year. Today, 12 years ago, my Dad passed away. Gods how I hate this day. But, I tried to do something positive. I made an art journal page. Actually, I made 2. I signed up for the 30 Days of lists, and then got the damn flu, and i haven't been able to catch up. So, I sat my butt down the other night and wrote up all the lists I was shy. Now I just need to make the pages. So. I bring you......the page about my Dad. It's got a watercolor background, and I wrote my list on a piece of vellum. It's my "What I Miss About Daddy" list. I could have written for hours. But I kept the list short and sweet. Lest I start bawling. 1. Going to car and motorcycle shows 2. Watching NHRA 3. Everything that never got to happen 4. The look in your eyes when you joke. 5. The pretend ignoring 6. The shots of Goldschlager 7. Shopping with you 8. Your suits 9. Everything This was tough to write...and I am sure...

Greetings! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means I get to share the latest set I chose from Bombshell Stamps to be featured as a Muse Monday set. This month, it's all about Love and Luck . This set is fairly new to me. I haven't had it long, and have not used it too much yet. But, I plan on using it a bit more this month! I decided to combine the Muse Monday project with my Day 4 from the 30 Days of Lists . I started by panting my background, and then I added my text. I stamped after the paint was nice and dry. I think I will go over everything with Mod Podge...after I check to see if my ink will run or not! Here's a close up. The prompt for today was: "On an average day I..." *want the 4 of us to be home together *worry about what to make for dinner *want to scrapbook, make jewelry, color, etc. *check Facebook 100 times *think about my Dad *give 1000 hugs and kisses to the kids *put on my makeup *miss my sisters *talk to my mom on...

Greetings! Today I am sharing the first 3 Lists I made for the 30 Days of Lists. I am putting them all in my Art Journal. I have never been good at doodling....so I am not loving how they look right now, but as the month goes on, hopefully I will find my stride. I don't want to simply write them on the page. I want them to be kinda pretty/cool. Here's Day 1. Nothing too fancy. Just playing with some markers. Here's Day 2. A little bit more exciting. The prompt was "About Me." Here's my list: 1. Artist                                     2. Wife 3. Mommy of 2 4. Glitter Lover 5. Vampire Fanatic 6. Tired 7. Craving Chocolate 8. Empath 9. Snuggler 10. Crazy for Halloween And finally, my Day 3. The prompt was "This ____ I am going to ____." Here's my list. This day I am going to make art. This week  I am going to try to grow my business. This month  I am going to try ...

Happy March 1st. It is officially my least favorite month of the year. But! It is sunny out, kinda warmish, and I am going to try and have a very positive outlook for the month. Please bear with me if I get cranky though. Since it's the 1st, I have a new Desert Islands Crafters Challenge to share with you. And since it's Friday (yay!), I have a new Dilly Beans project. Plus! I have joined the 30 Days of Lists . And though I didn't make my list all sorts 'o fancy yet, I will share it with you. First, DICC . We are proudly sponsored by Rick St. Dennis this time. This is Lady Felicity. I used #'s 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 10. But what's on the itinerary, you ask? You'll just have to visit the DICC blog to find out!  Rick had asked me to color Lady Felicity with peach. A couple of weeks ago, he assigned his EDT members an image, and we were given a color to work with. I don't use peach too often, but I am happy with how she turned out. She look...
