A Day In The Life 🍁 Autumn Walk & Making Chili

Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well!

Linking up with Nicole's Blog for Friday Face Off and Gillena on her lovely blog for Art for Fun Friday. 

I didn't have time to post on Tuesday but I do want to share Elizabeth's Blog too. 

Have a look at her wonderful blog Altered Book Lover. 

I had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with family on October 11th. The next day I woke up with a stiff lower back and pain shooting down my right leg. This has happened before and It is hard to move and It is a horrible experience. I am slowly healing. I've been stretching daily and going for gentle walks.  

On the actual Thanksgiving Day I cooked for my family. I made chicken breast with rosemary, mashed potato, sweet potato with marshmallows on top, butternut squash soup with bacon, brussels sprouts, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and cottage roll. It was delicious! 

I managed to film A Day In The Life video. It was fun to film and put together. I hope you enjoy the video.

I did a lot of journaling this past week and I also started reading two new books. 

“October, October” by Katya Balen and “The Castle of Otranto” by Horace Walpole. 

So far I am loving both books. 

ARTWORK

I haven't created any artwork recently. Which makes me sad but here are some old drawings of Autumn.

Thank you my wonderful friends, I hope you are all well and thank you for all your support and lovely comments. Have a fantastic weekend!

God Bless you all!

Happy Friday my friends and I hope you are all doing well. 

Yesterday a little bird hit our window

I gave it water and waited for it to take time and regain its strength

It flew off when it was ready

my heart was full of emotions

I am so happy the bird is okay

It hurt my heart to see it hurting.

I've been sick this past week but getting better. Just have a leftover cough and my ears are ringing a lot which is very annoying but we carry on and move forward.

I watched "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" on Netflix and loved it.

Yes I watch a lot of Christmas movies. They make me happy :) 🎄 

I have a vlog if you like to have a look.

I haven't been reading much but I hope to finish a book this month. 

I did manage to put together a vlog of all the clips from September into October. 

I hope you enjoy the vlog. 

I also doodled and did some junk journaling.

I do feel all over the place lately but It's okay. I accept the mess and appreciate that I have one. lol

I did my October journal spread in my Leuchtturm1917

Happy Friday!

Lately feeling nervous for my daughter as she will be attending high school next week.  Change makes me nervous. I am sure she will have a wonderful time and things will be great. 

Hubby sent me a morning sunrise photo from work.  The day after the big storm.

* I'm having an issue with responding to comments again. So annoyed. I am sorry. 

A little mixed media and not sure how I feel about her. 

Hubby sent me this photo of the morning sunrise
