happy birthday mum

this week's dareage:

(I remember where I was when...) The little booklet held by the square brad is where I journalled about snippets that I remembered. They are so random...it's funny how one's memory works. My mama (happy birthday mama!) likened it to a slide show that fell on the floor. Bits and pieces and all mixed up. Anyway, it was cool to do, so do it.

Then a couple from the April Scrapologie kit, which is amaaazing. Loved it with all my heart. Couldn't stop making stuff all last weekend. I posted the rest, including the whole minibook HERE.





Now I command everyone to go away and have a GREAT WEEKEND!

OH! and the knob packaging from my last post held...a knob. You'll see it on an upcoming project ;)

Took these lil birdies and used watercolour pencil crayons on them. SO fun.

art IS therapy

No kidding. It's my thing. That thing that makes me feel better. Bottom line. I have been in a funk a little bit. Not a huge funk, but just kinda blah.

Last night was pseudo Monday (with the real Monday being a holiday and all) and so that was a very Monday-ish night. Neighbours around, kids playing...feeling kind of like it's still the weekend but with that Monday-ish mellow, slightly depressed vibe.

Tonight though, was mine. Something happened today that felt a little bit fateful. So I bit into that and had a really good evening. We had dinner, I said no to Jaxon and meant it and stuck with it and it didn't end in a meltdown and/or a fight, Dren and I joked around as per usual and then Dren put Jax to bed and I watched ANTM and the Canucks and just played.

And it was therapeutic. It was for this week's dare, and what I thought at first was virtually impossible or at the very least very very difficult, I went with it and was led in a completely different direction from what I originally was thinking. But it was therapy and it felt good. And that's what I love about art/scrapbooking/journalling...all that shit. Love it. With a hugely appreciative passion.

amidst the chaos

Amidst the chaos of what is currently my life...my brain, my co-op, my family, my creative space...

There lies a vase of flowers from my husband. Just 'cause.



Feeling the love. This was last week, and it's still making me happy.
