Days 4 and 5

I have had a busy week and have not had a chance to post the last 2 days. So here we go!

 The red background is a sponging technique that I have fallen in love with. It is a wonderful way to blend the two colors. The flower is SUPPOSED to be a sunflower. :/ I tried right?

 This one is a ballpark that I am working on for my son- he LOVES baseball! Still a work in progress.

 This one is a Peace Rose that I am working on for my sister. It is her favorite rose- and she is my best friend, so it only fits <3 br="">

 This is a journal page that I worked on this week- I had just got home from the dentist and was in A LOT of pain- needed something to relax and take my mind off the pain.

 I even got my family involved! ^ made by my daughter (7) and below my husband!

 This is a quote from Albert Einstein "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself"

On this one I was practicing my bead-work- I sewed multicolored beads around the yellow, trying to make it look like the center of a flower.

So far this month, I have shared more of my painting than I have in my entire life. I am usually a very reclusive artist- I enjoy constructive criticism, however, I always worry about how people will like it. But if nothing else, this experience has taught me that it only matters if I like my work- NOT what everyone else thinks. So I hope that you enjoy my pics- plenty more to come. Please feel free to add comments- or suggestions- both are wonderful for my process!

Day Three of 30 in June

This is my 3rd day of the 30 in June challenge. I am really enjoying the freedom that comes with just CREATING without the pressure of having to finish anything.

This was a quote I found online- blurred purposely for the photo.

A silly green and yellow background my daughter asked me to do.

I have always wanted to paint a coy fish- or at least try :)

Unfinished "home" ideas still flowing!

The view from my window ;)

A funky grungy background with my favorite homemade stencil- honeycomb!

A tree- honeycombed style! ;) 

Keep looking for more- trying to update as I go through the process! Enjoy! 

Day Two of 30 in June

These are my Day Two images for the 30 in June challenge! 

The first two are journal pages in my new journal/altered book.

This is the new cover for my journal/altered book. (Still a work in progress) 

Inside cover of the new journal! 

Hope you enjoy the photos! More to come!!

Update from the busy momma/college student/wife

So since my last post, I have made over 20 new journals, filled 5 others, and just started my newest one. I have been sooo busy with school, that sadly most of my journaling stuff is in the garage at the moment. I am going to finished with class next month and plan to take the summer off. I need a break to reconnect with my crafty side. I have started and put away so many knitting projects it makes me sad to see the piles. But I still try and do some journaling at least once a week. I will be posting more pics soon. No excuses this time.  I look forward to your comments! Again, I am sorry for my unforgivable hiatus. I hope you can forgive me!
