It has been awhile since I posted on my blog.

In February, 2018 I had a series if setbacks. I am still trying to stabilize. I will attempt to post and let you all know what happened, In the meantime I wanted to say hi.

 I'm not really arting much right now. I am trying to work on updating some family trees and doing some genealogy research.

That's all for now. Be back later.

ICAD day one

I am attempting the index card a day challenge. I created my first one today.

I drew chevrons across two sides of my index card. I then filled in part of them with green and yellow nail polish. I used markers to further outline part of the chevrons write part of my statement. I did the border with black fingernail polish

New Supplies, completed challenge, marriage

I completed my challenge for Art Journal Journey. I am still trying to figure out a few things regarding how to get my photos posted to this site. For now I am still scanning my sork and posting it.

Products used:
Canson XL Mix media paper 5.5x8.5

I got some new things I ordered earlier this week yesterday and was very happy with them. I ordered a Tim Holtz distress ink stamp pad (Victorian Velvet). I just got the one so I can see how they work. I also got a 3-pack of the Sakura white GellyRoll pens, some washi tape masking stickers, and some black Artist's tiles to use with my Zentangle. I used one for this week's Diva Challenge. You can view it here White on Black .

My daughter got married yesterday. It was very nice and a little bit emotional (yes, I cried). I gave her and her husband a pocket letter. I need to complete it with some wedding photos and also scan it (I forgot to do that). Once I have it completed I will post it (probably on instagram).

Mandala update

I colored in my mandala this week. Now I need to add some extra stuff to it.

Pocket letter and mandala

I finished two pocket letters today. I am not very fast with doing the letters, but I am getting better.

Birthday pocket letter

ATC swap pocket letter

I also drew a mandala based on a method I saw on UStream.

I purchased a 24 piece puzzle and am prepping it to do Claudine's challenge.

ATC's

I completed some of the earlier ATC's for a swap on The Art Colony.

Making my first pocket letter

I am in a pocket letter trade on Ustream. I have been working on various things the last few weeks to include in my letter.
