November Art Journaling Page!

At last!

The long-awaited November page!

I know… it’s been a minute or two since I’ve been on here. Life has been busy… our boys are getting bigger, and homeschooling and homemaking have been  filling my days… but… I broke my right wrist a couple weeks ago, and suddenly can’t do much more than do one-finger typing and move a computer mouse. So, voila! This page might not be as polished as the other months, but here it is! 🙂

Happy Back-to-School!

I know a whole bunch of you started school earlier…
…or school year-round…
…but there’s something special about the day after Labor Day that
makes me want to fill a backpack up with new school supplies!

And slightly earlier than the last few months…
…Here’s September’s Art Journaling page!

June Art Journaling Post

Now that June is beyond half over…

Sorry this is late… In early May, my Dad had a serious heart attack, which resulted in a quadruple bypass. And there were complications from the surgery that resulted in the need for long-term rehab and therapy. Add an almost three year-old and an almost six month-old to the mix, as well as a couple family businesses and a whole lot of extra property to care for, and there’s not been much time to do more than the basics. But, the Lord has been good to us through it all, and we’re all starting to feel a bit human again. Most importantly, my Dad is too! I’m thankful every day that we have been able to live right next door to my parents nearly our entire married life. That our children have been able to see their Nana & Pop-Pop almost every day. (And that Grammy & Grampy are pretty close too!) And that family has been a huge priority for us all these years, and everything can be put on hold when needed in order to take care of those closest to us.

So… better late than never?

March Art Journaling Page!

March came in like a lion here in Delaware!

How about where you live?

Today was much nicer, though there was quite a nip in the air. I got to head outside for a few minutes, and found a nice little bunch of daffodils along the ditch bank. So of course they needed to come inside… Daffodils are my absolute favorite “First Sign of Spring.” I’d love to have them blooming everywhere on our little homestead!

One even got its portrait drawn in my art journal…

I got a little vibrant with the color… Let’s call it “artistic license.”
I used watercolor pencils on this page… They are great to work with in art journals, since you can color your drawings “dry,” and add just a dab of water later to make a watercolor wash. You can also touch a wet brush to the pencil tip and use that concentrated paint to add details to your sketches.

Looking for “First Signs of Spring” is one of the journaling ideas for March!
