Yesterday I did NOT have to go to the dentist's - yoohoo! That gave me a nice day for painting, crafting and playing around. I successfully forgot to do the H*******K, which was good, as I made a lot of mess playing. And we have had several days of warm and Sunny weather, a real Indian Summer, and the first summer we have had this year!
I received a wonderful postcard from Lenna's postcard swap, this time from Nancy Roberts. It has been made from painted material, and has been embroidered, stitched and collaged - just wonderful. I am going to have a wonderful collection of hand made postcards, which I will treasure.
For my journal pages I made another collage, which then reminded me of the text of *I'm on the top of the world* from the Carpenters, so I have included part of the text.
I also spent some time making more Halloween boxes, but I will save them to show tomorrow. I think making Halloween things is addictive.
Hope you all have a great day, take care, and thanks for stopping by!
You've got me singing Valerie so it's just as well I love that song!
ReplyDeleteFabulous art journal pages and glad you had no dreaded 'd' visit yesterday.
We also have a gorgeous Indian Summer so I think we all need to make the most of it.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Beautiful journal pages again, and the postcard from Nancy is really astonishing! Have a nice day, Hugs, Sarah

ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to receive one of Nancy's cards too. It is really beautiful, Valerie. Your journal is turning into such a treasure. You are inspiring me to get one going here.
