I'm such a sporadic poster!
But to let you know some things I've been up to lately:
I started an online "Art Journal" class with the amazing Dina Wakley. Check out her blog through the link on the side of my page. I'm learning how to layer textures and how to use paint. I've always been intimidated by paint because I usually use way to much or not enough and it ends up being disaster. But my first assignment from last week actually turned out not too bad. The part that is way harder than the painting is the journaling! Who would have thought?! When I have a few pages actually completed (in another few weeks) I'll post them then. Or maybe I'll post week-by-week so you can see the beginning to end process? I'll have to see what I'm up for.
Christmas is coming quick! Especially if you are making some presents by hand! Quick quiz: How many of you will be giving home-made gifts? What kind of gifts do you make? I seem to always make peppermint popcorn in glass jars, and shortbread cookies. They are both Christmas staples in this house!
Now that I've sat down and written the above, I entirely forget what else I've been up to lately. I thought there was more, but it appears that I am just really very boring.
Well, Andy is back home and he did a fantastic 1st year welding, so way to go Andy! And I'm glad to have you home again.
ooooh - the peppermint popcorn sounds interesting! Do you have a recipe for that at all?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your pages, Kaly! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dina!
ReplyDeleteMegan, peppermint popcorn is super easy to make and it's gone super fast too because it's so yummy! I'll post a recipe soon.
