The Grand Printable mini journal…

by Marion Smith …

I love the kits from Marion… they are so fun to print and put together… and I really love that you can mix and match different kits and come up with something new…

I got everything printed, cut out and I am in the process of assembling…

You can see her kits here… Marion Smith Designs

And here is her video on this newest journal… Life is Grand Journal

I will post my photo’s and video after I am done…

Organizing AGAIN!!…

Artistic chaos has taken over yet again… Soooo, this morning, since I am off work today, I decided to rearrange one more time… I moved Ellie (African Grey) to the living room… Got the plastic up on the windows and put my art table in front of the window to get good light… I think this is going to work… I hope…

Lunch – Art Journal 2011

Today I went to lunch with Carolyn and Kellyn over to Culvers… I have never “gone” to lunch with them before… I have had lunch with them in the lunchroom at work… I have to say I really enjoyed myself… of course I think they thought I was a bit strange taking a pic of my tray of food…  So, Carolyn and Kellyn, this is why I take pics of my food… LOL
