Christmas-and Snow are Coming!!!

 

 Hi Everyone! I am trying to get my holiday cards all done and in the mail. But in the end, if they don't all get out  that's OK because I know I'm not the only one, right? And now we've gotten snow today and a Nor'easter is expected to dump up to 12" of snow Wednesday into Thursday 😠!!! That means not only bad roads, but hubby will need to take my car all week and shopping and errands need to be rearranged. Guess I'll be spending time in my art room 😉

 The above photo is a crop of this page:

 And I actually did this page next to it:

and here they are side by side:

  I used lots of Dina Wakley products including paints, stencils, stamps, collage tissues, Collage Collective papers! Mark making was done with a white Posca pen, a scrap of corrugated cardboard with the ridges painted with black paint, and then of course, some spattering as well.

 For T Stands For Tuesday :

 

 I had gotten a large wall calendar at the $ Store and this 6" x 6" Tea Time calendar came with it! I think this is the third year I've gotten one of these and have reused the pages on journal pages cuz I love these photos. Cheers and happy T day!

 And  here are the last  two  journal pages from a November  6 Day, 6 Prompts Gratitude Challenge on Instagram:

 Day 5 prompt "Family":

and Day 6 "Grateful":

As you can obviously see, I have been highly under the influence of Dina lately😁😂 

Joining in at Art Journal Journey and Paint Party Friday. I'll definitely be around to visit this week and weekend but not sure about the following. I may end up taking a break until the new year.

And so, I will say now that I wish you all a joyous holiday season however and whatever you celebrate! And may the new year bring some normalcy in all our lives with the disappearance of Covid. XO
