The Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog is having a birthday-7 years! And to celebrate they were offering 7 gift certificates to their online store this week. Did you know they offer a GC every week? Wow! So this is my entry for their birthday theme even though I was unfortunately too late to enter. I also used this sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches:
For my friends at T Stands For Tuesday:
I met up with my three best friends of well over 40 years for lunch. We met at a diner that is known for its good food and it was that and more. The portions were very generous and the prices good. The menu was extensive and the service excellent! (yes, doggie bags provided:) I'm surprised we managed to eat in between all the laughter and chatter! We then went to the nearby shopping center for a walk thru Hobby Lobby. One of the girls was never there and oh was she like a kid in a candy shoppe:):) (We all do some sort of art and or crafts, sewing, knitting , crocheting...). I didn't have a problem not purchasing after my stamp convention finds:)
At Art Journal Journey we are playing with the theme "For the Record" and I am having a great time seeing what songs everyone is choosing to make a journal page for! Here is another from me:
How I am longing to be by the sea again...
Busy, busy week for me and so this may be the only post I get to this week. If it is, I'm also linking to Paint Party Friday so I can see what everyone is doing there at the end of the week. Have a wonderful week ahead everyone!

My favorite is your art journal ~ wonderfully creative work and of course the song is delightful ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Week ~ ^_^
I enjoyed the card and can see where both dies will come in handy. But of course, I LOVED the journal page you created. So glad you shared the song, and it seems to fit you, too. I know how much you always want to go to the beach.
ReplyDeleteYou and your friends look like you had a wonderful meal. I would have gotten a doggie bag, too. Each plate looks like a two day meal to me (grin).
Thank you for sharing your wonderful art, your super hosting, and your food and drinks with friends with us for T this soon to be Tuesday.

You and your friends have had a fantastic meal, I can see that. Lots of catching up to do I would say.
I really like the sketch for the card. I am going to use that sketch as I am cardmaking at the moment.

I see you've had a busy week Linda. Yummy lunch. And that's such a fun song and page. Makes me think of summer. But we are warming up-even though we do have rain. I'll take it over the snow. Have a great T Day! Hugs-Erika
