I love this mag photo of a cat. Looks a lot like my cat Penny! We have two cats, one is orange, the other is white, and absolutely nuts! 

We went on a house tour in our area, where we get to visit about 8 houses. This was our favourite! Looks kind of boring outside, but it had leopard skin stairs, a piano room jsut big enough to hold a grand piano and not much else, with leopard wallpaper, an incredibly huge bedroom, and so much more! This was a very cool house! 

My niece is in a cheese commercial, her face is plastered everywhere, and she's on TV. How cool is that? 

I had an old magazine photo of Mick, and had just found out that he would be playing in Ottawa. Boy, if I'm old, he's really old!!! I colored the photocopy with chalk. 

Here is the little file folder with the pictures of the soccer game! She is an awesome defence player! 

My daughter's 19th birthday - they do grow up fast! The folder has pictures of her first soccer game this season.  

I cleaned out my purse, and had all these things leftover. Thought they'd make a neat journal page! 

I've been pre-prepping and gluing down magazine photos ahead of time, then coming in later and journaling.  

These are (copies of) ATC's I made with a wonderful sheet from Alteredpages.com. I traded most of them with friends in the US. 

This is kind of a lame page, I was playing with the diamonds, then found I really didn't have anything to say! I can go back and finish this page up with images. 

These were images I had laying around on my table, I just glued them on, chalked them up, and journaled around them! What to do with those things wandering around on your desk! 

This was a workshop that my local Stamping Club, the Limestone Rubber Stampers, put on. It was a great day! 

This page was done using a really neat bag that I got when I purchased something. It's hard to see the writing, but it's there! 

We went to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the local Theatre. I made a pocket for the brochure. I had to trim the brochure to get it to fit, even though, it is still a bit too big. 

These are my ATC's that I made for a winged-things swap. I had the bright idea of using the pocket holder that my BC pills come in-just the right size for ATCs! The background was done by stamping on the acrylic painted page while it was still wet. I love the effect! This is May 2005 

My only April page. I love my big letters! I also started pre-prepping my pages several pages ahead 

Last day of March, and a few tickets from the trip. 

Didn't do much here! March must have been very busy! 

More March. The ATC was given to me by a local MB artist, and flips up. It was very cold in MB this year! 

Here's my March grid. We went on a trip to Myrtle Beach over the March break, which is all in another Travel Journal 

My first acrylic prepped page. I think I saw this technique of the lines on someone else's journal 

More Feb days. The flower stamp is one of my favourites, and the little birdies are from an SU set I won in a draw. I use them a lot! 

..the next few days..-the red ATC (it lifts up) was sent as a RAK, and I was in emerg for an afternoon - what fun! 

This is a grid I did for February, the first Yahoo group inspired technique! I like it, it's good for when I don't have a lot of time, and it was fun to look back on. 

This is a collage page at the beginning of my journal. It kind of starts my 2005 journal, and marks the beginning of my joining a few art journaling Yahoo groups. My journaling style changes from this point on with all the new things I'm learning.
