A Trip to the Aquarium and a Birdie ATC

We had a trip to the local aquarium today, but it's birds I'm still hooked on...

A is for Adventure...

At work, but keep thinking about how to put Winston in the balloon teacup and send him across the Atlantic for an adventure in Europe...

This isn't Winston, but a sweet, little ATC I made yesterday.

Everything by Sherrie JD available at ScrapArtist.

Digi-scrapping was all I could manage yesterday. Pens, papers and inks put away for the fabulous fortieth fiesta. Joshua and I stayed huddled on the sofa for most of Sunday. We were tired and the weather showery - what a great excuse to relax in front of the tv/laptop all day. I'm already feeling the itch to get home and spread the art journaling materials over the kitchen table. I feel I'm making a little progress with the art journaling. Perhaps I'll have some photos for next weekend?

Happy Birthday...

To my darling DH. It was Saturday. Yes, I'm late posting. We had a fitting celebration on Saturday with twenty friends for the fabulous fortieth fiesta. Lots of alcohol, tacos and chocolate fondue were consumed followed by a towering chocolate cake. I felt far too slow yesterday to make a post.

Refreshed today. Monday. Time to shower and dress and get to work...

Castle Bed Hunting

We went take-out castle bed hunting yesterday. The bed from Walmart will take 17 days to arrive - can a 3 1/2 year old wait that long for a new bed without combusting? But as I expected we didn't find one. Joshua was happy with his prizes anyway - some plastic toys from one of those 25c machines in side Old Navy - Oh and a batman jacket!

Develope on Friday

I discovered Develope on Friday by chance on FaceBook. It's a photography challenge run from the Paislee Press blog. The first two challenges have included a little article on creativity that I find relevant at the moment.

Castle Beds

After The Upside Down Show Joshua stayed up to watch Project Runway with me. He thought it was hillarious that contestants had to make a dress out of a potato sack! When he finally went to bed he sang about castle beds at the top of his voice until gone 11:30pm!!!

It went like this 'Oh, I'm getting a castle bed that arrives in five days time coz I've been such a good boy... Oh, I'm getting a castle bed...'

We haven't even ordered it yet - wish us luck! :-)

The bed in case...

First Art Journal Pages

It's hard to look at Teesha Moore and Anahata Katkin's journals and not be influenced.

These photos are of the unfinished pages. I can't say I'm particularly proud of them but they are my pages, my start, my beginning. I'm hoping I'll evolve and develope and emerge with my own style, but at the moment this is it...
