So Sorry - Slammed this week..... - Missing Mom...

Monday was 2 years since I lost my mother to cancer.. I spent a year of my life watching her lose hers....  This is a painting I did of what I was feeling this day...  The feelings were Loss - Love - Hope - Faith - Anger - Confused.

I hope you enjoy

And sorry I haven't been blogging this week...  Get ready going to catch up this weekend...  

So below is my very first video of painting.  (what I realized)

#1 MUST LOSE WEIGHT

#2 MAKE SURE MY HAIR LOOKS GOOD

#3 Don't be in my PJs...

I hope you enjoy besides those things I immediately picked out...

Weekend Thrift Store & Antique Store Shopping with my Daughter

So I tried Thrift Store & Antique Store Shopping this past weekend with my daughter - and we both made out good.

We went to the Dover Antique Mall in Dover, NJ

I was looking for 1 storage type furniture didn't find anything good - but got some good ideas...

And 2nd was looking for things for my art journals.

I found a 1902 Edition of the Sears Roebuck Catalogue...  The paper is so great - it's book page but stronger and so much typeface and photos on it.. can't wait to start using it.

I also found some really old black & white photos that were hard cardstock.

Letters from WW2

And 4 First Class Stateroom from 1921.

Some old sticker letters (which I used some and they work)..

My daughter got a big bag of jewelry from the 1920 time...

We are 100% going to continue our road trips and start hitting other's in the area..

Let me know what good find you have found at your local stores.

My Journals from last weekend's Scrapbook weekend.

So had a fun filled weekend last weekend at a scrapbooking crop...

And I did a bunch of journal pages...

here's a few...

I was just creating.. not writing down what I was using or snapping photos during the process...

Still working to use up my old supplies.

I hope you enjoy..
