ONE OF THOSE DAYS

I really thought I had reached a point where I was pretty much immune to stupidity but today was one of those days when I realize that just when I thought people could not possibly be so stupid they prove me wrong yet again.

Now mind you, I don't usually deal with people at their best. They are either facing criminal charges or in the middle of a divorce so - granted - they are not always their most rational. But still.... believe me when I tell you that people just never cease to amaze me.

This was today's journal page. I think I am taking the day off tomorrow ... I totally need a break! Ya think?

BLISSFULLY ART JOURNALING: DAILY PROMPT

I don't always have the time to do daily prompts - actually I very rarely do. But I did do today's prompt:

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR MOST POWERFUL MEMORIES?

A POST TO MY PERSONAL JOURNAL

I have spent the past several months working on my collaborative journals and trying to keep up. I've also spent a lot of time practicing drawing which is my new and current love. Today has been one of those days that I felt like Alice in Wonderland and did this page for my personal journal!!! I wasn't very careful about the lettering - not in the mood to do it "pretty" - just to DO it! I love the Traci Bautista divas - just not very good at doing them!

TRIED A DIFFERENT STYLE FACE

Yes, I am still practicing faces!! This one is the biggest one I've attempted. She is 11x16 so she did not scan completely but I'm quite pleased with her!

BLISS JOURNAL MONTH 2

As I've already told you guys, my friend Tracy and I are exchanging journals. Each month we choose a topic and we have to work in our journals with that topic. One month we work in our own journals and the other months' in each other's journals.

Last time (it has actually been two months now because of the Retreat and the baby and all the other delays) I got to choose the topic and it was "If you could change one major thing in your life - what would it be?

This is my interpretation of this topic (obviously influenced by Pam Carriker's class). The journal is on it's way to you Trac!

AMAZING BOOK: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

If you haven't read this book already (I just found out about it last week but apparently it's been around a while) you need to go buy/download it. It is a wonderful book. It is told by a 90 (or 93) year old man who is remembering his life working in a circus. It didn't sound like something I would enjoy but really did enjoy it immensely and recommend it highly. I think you will love it! Let me know!

JOURNAL 365 with Pam Carriker

I know I have told you all how much I love Pam Carriker. She is just amazing. This was the result of Lesson 2 of her Journal 365 class which runs for 12 months. It's done only with pencil and Conte crayons. How cool is this?
