The KKK took my baby away......

last night we got a fabulous suprise visit from a

an adored family member

and I was totally unprepred for dinner

the fridge was bare except for a head of

iceberg lettuce

some tired looking olives and milk

I do not think any 5 Michelin star chef

could make anything from that

thus my chances were nil

so.....

we ordered out.

I took a pic of where we ate

the enormous coffee table had been taken over

by C3's wooden train set

The thought of clearing it away

broke my heart

so......

we ate around it!!!

back soon with a layout or 2

Later......

Drifting competition

I suggest you play the music

while watching the tele

it is one of my favourite Nirvana songs

and it is perfect for the adrenaline rush

we experienced on the weekend!

pity the slide show does not go as fast as the

music!!

Blitzkreig Bop......part 2!!

(grab a cup of tea as this is a long one)

Only this time I am not not bopping!!

I received this beautiful handmade card from C3

the Green star pops up it is ingenius!!

For 2 weeks now he has been watching me make

fan fold/pleated flowers

for a couple of layouts which I cant just show you yet!!

Anyway he used the same technique to make the card pop!!

(proud mama boasting)

The reason for the card is pictured below!

Yes, I cannot walk!

I was walking with my boyz yesterday

and I slipped on the pavement

I did not fall

but I damaged my ankle trying not to fall

make sense!?!

I am so stressed about this

as I have no help!

remember the drama in September 2009

when hubby fell and broke his pelvis

well I do not have someone to pick up C3 from the school bus

or clean the house

or cook

luckily I work from home!

and have recently been given some extra work!

I digress

let's just say I am stressing because

hubby will have to do a lot of running around

and I hate being dependent

just hate it!!!!!

(ok enough wallowing in my own self pity)

Enough about that.....

here are some more pages from my art journal

due to the ankle....

I could not stand long enough to get a proper picture

sorry

this one is my favourite to date

because of the layers and the colours

the stamping....of course the photo does not do it justice

Now this one is also much better in proper lighting

there are many layers on this one.

Ever since embarking on this

Art Journal Every Day

venture

I have found that old pattern paper

I was never going to use has come in extremely handy

I just layer gesso over it

either to cover parts up completely

or just a thin layer

so that the original pattern can be seen underneath

and then I work from there

building layers

what can I say girls

very exhilirating!!

later......

Blitzkreig Bop......

I promised my self that

I would spend more time art journalling

So I decided to join

Julie Blazer

and

and I have been busy

playing with paints, mists, stamps

and collaging (is that a word???)

with Graphic 45 papers

which I have been lusting

for a while now.....

yes I have a theme...

wings!

they have many meanings for me

so you will see a lot of them

later.....
