Art Journal




A few of my pages that I was doing in a Art Journal.  I am not a artist but tried to make the pages colorful for my partner.  I went outside my comfort zone and tried doing this and I so enjoyed doing it.



Went and bought Mr. C's son a used truck today.  It is really cute and I am so proud for Brody.  Tomorrow we will go buy new tires for it.  Don't want it leaving him stranded somewhere with a flat.  Then this evening Mr C cooked us a wonderful dinner.  Hamburger patties, homemade mac & cheese, ranch style beans and homemade steak fries.  It was very good and filling.  Although not so good for my diet.  I sure need to get back on my diet and stop eating whatever I want.  Which has been hard for me lately. 

Now its time to go sit down and visit with Mr. C!

    Karen .. Love your blog! Like you, I'm a quilter and I also have a step son who races! He's super good, has so many trophies and his business is manufacturing turbo kits for vehicles. My hubby is a car nut too. I read your profile on Swap-bot and saw how you had cut back on swaps but miss the surprises in the mail. Me too! I lost my dad recently and it just took the wind out of my sails. I'm trying hard to get back to living and loving life! Will be visiting you often! Take care .. sharon

    I was in Elk City and didn't feel a thing. Brody was at house and said he was scared. Shook pictures on walls.. who would have thought Oklahoma would have a earthquake?

    I look at your journal and realizing that I have no creative ability at all. :) I hate it.

    Very nice! I especially love the middle picture; it looks like a professional design board or something!
