Today I checked out the small, local scrapbooking store. It was cute and I found a few things I wanted, as did A. I've gotten into collaging in a gluebook this week. For my glue book I'm using a rainbow Crayola composition book C got me at the office supply store. It's a start. I've … Continue reading Art Therapy and Photography

Art Journaling
Today I went out to my favorite restaurant with a friend. It felt good to catch up, though I was exhausted because I only slept 2 hours. Tonight I'm doing some digital art journaling because I need something to soothe my mind, and I'm tired so it's hard to read. I must be quiet and … Continue reading Art Journaling
Full Blown Cold or Something
I have headaches, congestion, a cough, a fever etc. This has been a long day. So was yesterday. Today though I missed a dr appointment and I've been sleeping most of the day.

Digital Art Journaling
I have been trying to create digital art journaling pages for therapeutic purposes. They are a blend of scrapbooking supplies, collage cut outs I've made, digital stickers, and textures added in Procreate. I am doing everything I can to get myself on an upswing. Nothing fancy or professional, but making them is helpful.
Weekend, Collage, Adobe
Other than ending up at the dentist, the past 3 days have been relaxing. We wanted to go to the fireworks in the city on Independence Day, but it rained. That was disappointing. But we have spent a ton of time together as a family. Tomorrow my husband is taking us on a surprise site … Continue reading Weekend, Collage, Adobe
Big Cleaning Day
Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day
