Hiya sistahs!
did you have a great weekend? We kinda chilled at home.. Ryan ran around with Tyler for hockey playoff games and practices and Jayden and I just hung out.. did some art, watched movies etc… When we do our art is when she decides to recap her whole week to me.. what happened.. who said what.. what said where.. she said this… can you believe I said that… AND she told me that her friend is scared of me.. So I stopped and said, why on earth would she be scared of me??? So she says to me “because you have crazy curly hair and wear glasses”…. LOL.. So jayden says to her friend (instead of really defending me).. “doesn’t matter.. she’s the COOLEST MOM EVAH”…LOL.. so basically does that mean she agreed with her friend? LOL
Then we spent Sunday shopping for clothes.. Jayden has a VERY unique style shall we say. Friday was the straw that broke the camel’s back where I INSISTED we go shopping. She emerged from her bedroom wearing a pink pair of printed leggings (which were now CAPRI LENGTH).. actually MAUVE… with a RED shirt and a TURQUOISE sweatshirt and pink socks. She walked around quite confidently I might add WHILST Tyler and I looked at each other with mouths agape. She looks at us and says “WHAT”.. I said to her kindly to please point out WHAT in her outfit matches. She told me point blank that there is WHITE in everything and I TOLD HER that white matches everything. HMPH. what could I say to that? I did tell her to march herself upstairs and put something on that matches..LOL. I guess in hindsight I shoulda let her embrace her individuality.. which I usually do.
Soooo Sunday comes and we go to this store called JUSTICE.. my friends have been talking about it but I have never been in there.. everything was 40% off and if you go to the “BACK WALL” you get 50% and an additional 40% so I guess they paid us to take the stuff away. So at the beginning of 2012, I forecasted that NEON would be in style.. and sure enough I walked into the store and it was like 1984 WHAM! Wake me up before you gogo.. remember that era? EVERYTHING was neon.. so we got Jayden some goodies.. and some SILVER blingy ugg type boots which I think she slept with.. and some other stuff.. I am so happy that she has stuff that matches and pants that are long enough..LOL . Tyler got some goodies too. It’s so funny.. Tyler since the age of 2 would pick out his clothes and has a great eye.. his sister? the ONE TOOTH WONDER.. not so much..LOL (shh.. she’s like her father).
Anyway, enough personal boring stuff Let’s discuss AJ monday shall we? The theme this week was to use pencils.. coloured pencils, HB pencils.. Let’s see what our sistahood did shall we?

Here is my page.. whenever I am in front of the TV, I ALWAYS have to do something with my hands.. and since I am staying away from RUBBAH (discovered an allergy).. I practice zentangling etc.. so I came up with this BIG flower and then decided to stamp my ARTSY HOUSE stamp and our THINKING BIRDS stamp.. I love the "villagey "feel of the different sized houses.. I just love that stamp 🙂 The flower was coloured in AFTER I visited JUSTICE with alllll The new NEON colors included in our NEW COLOR PRISMACOLOR KIT
Here's a closeup of our village 🙂
Here is Beth's page.. a different theme but I love it!
So that’s it for AJ monday today … Thank you for posting some suggestions for our themes.. I’m gonna use them all! So NEXT WEEK’S THEME IS ARROWS (thanks PINKY!)… you can use them as a background.. as your focal point.. pointing to your focal point.. Get creative! Can’t wait to see!!!

sounds like a great shopping trip…. love all the AJ monday the Oscar inspired blue dress, sooo pretty! TFS!
Justice is my granddaughters favorite store. We were in there 2 weeks ago. Neon and bling!!
careless whispers….danced to that one in the high school gym…
I am still laughing! Boy oh boy. I think our daughters must be some sort of fashion twins. She’s five and her favourite outfit is leopard print hot pink leggings, that started out full-length but are now capris. (and skin tight). I have decreed they may only be worn at home. She has the same idea for matching (they all have white-or black-or stripes-or flowers). You get the idea. I have frankly given up so I commend your perseverence. Once in a while I pull the mom-card and insist she change, but it’s usually not worth the hassle. Thanks for the great laugh!
okay….emily, you outdid yourself with this page! the birds on the artsy house IS FREAKING BRILLIANT! i’m soooo pissed that i didn’t think about it first.
