It means it’s ART JOURNALING TOOSDAY.. (on Toosday! lol)..
This week has been crazy (Im speaking as if it is friday..LOL.. it’s only day 2 of the week..sheesh!).. I’ve been arting and stamping all weekend.. it was DEEVINE!
I also read all of your input on my bloggypoo and so appreciate it! Have taken notes on all the goodies you would like to see and hopefully I can make it all happen! So yesterday I think I created the logo and the tagline for our “new look”.. I hope you won’t all be disappointed when you see it because when you do, you will see that Bella has grown up! LOL.. My vision for the website is to be clean and simple so that we can focus on the images.. which is what we are all about right? and the way we can inspire you… right? I love the meaning of the tag line and I love the way it looks.. but I can’t show you.. no no.. I cannot show you! LOL it’s a SURPRISE! But I will let you know who the winnah is on tomorrow’s post.. k?
A little Art Journaling NUGGET or website to take a look at. If you are a newbie and would like to learn more.. check out this website.. first of all it is BEEYOTIFUL.. and this couple is devoting their thursdays to art journaling. Last week was the basics.. I think you will love it and maybe less intimidating if you can ease yourselves into it.. right? I just discovered it through pinterest and it is a lovely site 🙂 it’s called EVERYDAY IS A HOLIDAY… I hope you enjoy it! Look for the AJ posts.
Ok now let’s get down to BIDnISS
This weeks theme for AJ was the concept of TIME…
SIGHHHHHHHHHH have I mentioned that I love AJ toosdays lately?
Ok next week’s theme is BIRDS…LOL now don’t think it is because of my other spread and that I will include that in next week’s entry… n’uh uh.. no way.. not me… ok well maybe if it’s getting a little late..LOL …
Ohhhh did I mention we were going away on vacation? I don’t think we have taken one in 5 years.. crazy AY? and you know what is even CRAZIER? that we are driving.. AND that our destination is 11 hours away..LOL.. with two kids who have NO IDEA re. concept of time!! i know.. I am crazy. Last weekend we were invited to a friend’s cottage about 1.5 hours away.. I am NOT joking when I say that 10 minutes into the drive what do you think I heard?…. “MOMMMMMMMMM are we almost there????”…. so imagine 11 hours. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? LOL
Mwah to da sistahs who understand ME.

Beautiful pages everyone, Lindabella, so love your background.
Em, hope you have a wonderful trip. Have the kids get some library books and they’ll be there in no time at all or get them all art journals and have them draw what they see outside. I’ve done that with the grandkids and it is so fun to see what they have come up with.
Nice pages once again. I’m really loving trying out different techniques on these pages…and really loving knowing I can gesso over anything I hate!
Have a great trip – yeah, stock up on lots of different car games – and buy some ear plugs!
Violet, I want to tell you I’m lovin your AJ pages every week..this week I’m lovin the letter’s.
Great art this week! Everyday is a holiday is a great site full of wonderful goodies. I follow her on pinterest and she never disappoints. 🙂
Corey – thank you for the kind comments. I’m so new to Art Journal and Mixed Media but I’m enjoying it. The letters are actually rub-ons from the dollar store that I just embellished with red pen. If you would like to see my other works feel free to pop over to my blog – http://www.craftyviolet.blogspot.com and if you scroll down and look to the left, I have every post labeled for easy viewing so just ignore the cards, quilts, scrapbooking posts and click on mixed media or art journal.
