{Autumn Delight}

Hello and Welcome October!

It’s been a month since I last posted? That doesn’t seem possible, but the past month was busy. I have been working on cleaning and purging my studio, but mainly making it more “safe” for me since my fall in June.

There has been Occupational therapy twice a week and a few follow up appointments with bone doctors and what not. I hope to graduate from OT next week and get a break for awhile. Four months of doctor’s and PT/OT has gotten very old.

I was able to create a few days and have been preparing for a show in November. Lots of cards, journals, stockings and Christmas items. The show is just something small and local so that will be fun.

My little Grandson is growing like a weed and really favors his Daddy (my son) when he was a baby. He will be two months in another week. Hard to believe.

I hope to embrace this month and all it’s splendor! May October be a beautiful month in every hue!

{ September Journals }

Hello Friends! Happy September! I really cannot believe that summer is over and it is Labor Day weekend. It is such a short season here in Michigan, and this year seemed to start late due to rain and immediately went into heat!

I have been plugging away on various projects for an upcoming show. These little journals have a “Back to School” theme and are perfect for Midori style journals.

The little journals were created using Kraft cardstock, pattern papers, ephemera, some stamping, washi tape, and Tim Holtz Paper dolls. I have the insides with plain paper (20 sheets) so you can decorate them as you please.

I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day festivities.

{Dreamer of Dreams Junk Journal}

I wanted to share with you a recent book journal I made, using many colors from the Autumn palette. Many are shades that I never or rarely work with…like Yellow. Oranges, yellow, rusts, corals, reds, browns and sepia tones are just a few. There are many Children Illustration reprints through out as well. There are 3 signatures and the pages of patterned and blank papers are well over 100.
