build it and they will come......

"it" being a new journal and "they" being my thoughts

~~~~~

Yes people, I've actually been in my studio playing.

{look at that mess}

I've probably lost all of my "art buddies" since it's been FOREVER

that I've posted anything art related.

So if you're still out there, I've got some journal pages ready to share with you.

This is my first moleskin to work in....

thanks to Suziblu.

{don't you just love her and want to spend a day with her?}

It's a longer, skinner moleskin

and obviously I had a hard time

trying to photograph

2 pages at once.

I'm not sure which one she uses,
but I liked that this one had watercolor paper in it...
I like that heavy feel !

I used the "regular" stuff...
magazine everything, rub-ons, markers and paint

and tons of my scrapbook paper...

some words from the newspaper

and my new favorite thing...

paper drywall tape.

I love using the magazine "real simple"

and the catalogs "anthropologie" and "toast."

Can you tell that the picture on the right is a mug of tea ?

{actually it's probably coffee, but since I hate coffee and LOVE tea, it's tea}

And these two pages are my favorite, so far.....

between my love of a good beach and the saying on her hat...

well, it's just so me.
