don't give up

 
 



 
 
 





 
 




 

 
 


 
 
I spent a lot of time on my dream girl
not because I wanted too
I just couldn't seem to get her right
she is in my art journal
so its really no big deal
but I kept on until I liked her
and I'm so glad I did
I tried lots of different ideas
so she has lots of layers
of paper, paint, gesso
words, photos
and they all add up to what she became
it's nice to like what's in
your journals
 
I pulled out the quilt I started
but that's about as far as
that went this week
I did get some blocks pieced
probably enough for the next row
 
lil roli came and stayed a couple of days 
which means I got a lot of pokemon time in
he got me almost to the end of my current game
we also did some shopping, visited the library
and the community center
watched a movie
tired me out
lol
 
next girl in my art journal
is the one with the pink dress
i'm having a bit of trouble figuring out her hand position
I will not give up though
 
 
loving:
my zinna's are starting to bloom
waffles and chicken
pokemon kids
coloring days at work
cookie dough blasts @sonic

new habits (and a free coloring sheet)

 










 
 









 


 
 

 
 
well let's see...
I've been making lots of art since I
was last here
in two different journals
and I started a yellow series for the wall behind
my art table
I was inspired for this from my
yellow board on pinterest
I began a large journal that I will fill
with mixed media girls
and a small journal for anything i'm in
the mood for
i'm also making some paintings
to fit the frames I've collected over the years
and tried my hand at some art trading cards
new habits are helping
I work every morning after my coffee
even on work days
*next schedule a day to blog
 
I went to some yard sales
found an old game boy sp
and a cute vintage horse pillow
got my first rainbow snowcone of the year (yum)
and visited the pond on a nice cool morning
summer starts tomorrow but it seems to
have come early here this year
IT'S DANG HOT OUT THERE!
I drew a summer girl in her garden
for you to color if you wish
 here she is:
 
 
 
 
loving this week:
making plans
baby chicks
playing sims 4
reading the bible
the kids at work
and jammie time when I get home
