Welcoming Autumn ๐ŸŽ Autumn Walks, Art and Fire Cider

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 :) ๐ŸŽ„ 

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

Morning Skies & Art


I am having issues leaving comments and responding too! I hope it will be fixed! :( 

Happy Friday! 

Linking up today with the wonderful Nicole and her lovely blog  Friday Face Off  and the lovely Gillena  over at Art For Fun 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.

Mixing Art and Productivity

 Happy Friday! It's been a productive week for me. A little too productive. lol

 I am linking up today with the wonderful Nicole and her lovely blog for Friday Face Off and the lovely Gillena and her lovely blog Art For Fun Friday.


This morning's sky of Downtown Toronto sent to me from my hubby.


Paper Collages at my art desk, I started this Autumnal mini junk journal book for fun.





 Here are the Youtube shorts on how I made the collages







A sketch that I made this morning in my Leuchtturm1917  sketchbook.


This is Mr. Ziggy and next week I will try to get a picture of Mr. Auggie.


This is the Autumn Junk Journal and I am really happy with how it is developing. I would like to add more of my art in here and also some recipes and even an Autumn Bucket List and photos. A little touch of something personal. 



Here is how I made the cover


I finished the book "The Dollhouse Murders" and I gave it a 3/5. 
I watched "Blood Sacrifice" on Netflix and loved it. 


Thank you so much my wonderful friends! I will see you soon and thank you for reading my blog and also for your lovely comments and support. 

See you next week and have a lovely weekend and a wonderful rest of the month!



I did some painting as well, check out my previous post if you like.
