Hello hello! Today is a beautiful sunny day in southern Ontario, and just cool enough to be very pleasant! Hope all of you are having a lovely day as well!

Here is my desk this morning:

This is my dining room table, full of Montessori Materials that I am selling. If you know any Montessori Teachers, let them know!

Here is my dragon journal page, finished, from last week: 

And a card I made, finally remembered to take a pic before mailing it!:

 

 That's it for me today! Short and sweet - have to get back to my selling duties! Inky and I say "au revior!", see you in September!

G'day everyone! (That's what they say in the Ottawa Valley, where my hubby grew up!) Hope you are having a lovely day so far. Yesterday brought us not one, but two huge torrential downpours, so I won't have to water the garden for awhile!

Here is my desk this morning:

I'm working on my journal, my stamps, and my canvases. Here are the latest ones: The top 2 are taken, but the blue one is for sale!

 And my last journal page - we are contemplating getting another kitten, this cat has all the names of our previous cats listed on it!

 And some late August garden pics:

 My "grotto"

 My overgrown Perennial Garden - just how I like it! I love the Echinaceas, will plant more next year!

 Some of our wildlife visitors!

 I found Inky playing (yes, PLAYING!!!) with a chipmunk the other day - the Chipmunk seemed fine with it, not running away, even lay on it's back, and came up to her and sniffed Inky's nose! Hubby was sure the little guy was going to get eaten, but they were playing - together! I was so fascinated I forgot to take a pic. Next time. . .

So Inky says G'day too, and we are off to peek at everyone else's desk now!

Have a wonderful week!

Midway through August - it's been a busy one so far! Last weekend we were at a family reunion at a nearby lake - lots of people, fun, food and wine! So much for my diet, but back on track now - only gained .2 lbs (and I ate everything!!)!

Here is my desk this morning. I always forget what I will find in the morning, so it's always a surprise! Oh, right, I was doing this!

I have been making my index cards into canvases, and this month I've put 3 of them in a local gallery, and I was surprised when one of them sold! See the red dot? SOLD!

So that was exciting! 

Here are two journal pages from last week: 

 This one was "working with black"

The one below was working with gel-medium through a stencil

  
We are still having a lot of rain - yesterday afternoon it was bright and sunny, I got my book and my wine, and went to sit on the front porch to read, and within 5 minutes this happened:

So Inky and I say so long for now! I will now go and peek at your desks!

Hi all! I missed last week's post because I was in Niagara Falls (Canada)! I attempted to do post from my i-Pad, but I gave up on that fairly quickly! Anyway, here is my desk this morning:

 It's starting to get messy again!  Also, now I'm working bigger (no more index cards!) so it's taking up more space.

Here was my desk last week! 

Except when it was raining - which was a LOT of the time!

I went to a place called Port Colborne to have lunch at the "Smokin' Buddah" (isn't that a great name?) with friends, and they have one of the FEW stamping/scrapbooking stores left in Ontario, so instead of giving the big internet online companies my money, I gave it to this little shop, and bought a few things to add to the few things I brought with me:

 
 I did a journal page every day (I had a lot of time!), using just the items I brought with me, and the few I bought. I joined a FB group started by Marjie Kemper, to go through an art book a month for 3 months. This month it's Dina Wakley's Art Journal Freedom book.

My journal pages from Niagara Falls:

Lunch at Smokin' Buddah!

 

 

The figure is something I cut out of a magazine and painted black!

 

 And this is what I brought with me:

It all fit in this very cool Dollar Store make-up bag! The stencils and another set of stamps are in the blue bag.

So that's it for me! I had a great time, in spite of the rain. . .

And I found a new friend in Patrick, much bigger, and not as soft as Inky, but cuddly just the same!

Have a great week!
