Hello Beautiful September! FFO Friday Face Off


I've been inspired by all the posts I've been reading lately from Friday Face Off. 

All the artists are so amazing.

 I love and enjoy looking at everyone's artwork, written works and photography. 

Dear readers have a look at all the wonderful Artists!

LINKING UP FRIDAY FACE OFF

Mixed media: I used paper, glue, markers and water soluble crayons.


I pray daily to be guided and to have strength and courage. September is here and I am very happy and excited to see so many Autumnal colours everywhere. It's the little things that bring me joy. I am grateful for each moment. This weekend my nephew is getting married and I can't wait to be a part of his special day. Looking forward to his wedding. 

This month I would like to decorate our home with Autumnal decor, go bowling and go to a drive in movie because I've never been to one. I would love to take my family to see a play as well. 

 This month I would like to make a delicious soup. Maybe leek and potato and also would love to make a chicken pot pie! Getting hungry just thinking about it. 

I have a lot of things I would like to do. I also would like to decorate my cork board for fall and make a bucket list in my Leuchtturmn1917 notebook.  Sometimes I plan too many things but I feel it's better to have more ideas than nothing.

We visited the Apple farm and it was a bit crowded but lovely at the same time. We didn't go apple picking we just bought apples, pies and candy apples. I will be going back with my husband to have a treat at the cafe. In the evening made popcorn and finished the Series "The Four Seasons" on Netflix.

I made a lovely chicken pot pie today. I haven't been reading as much as I would like too. My hands get very bad rashes. So stressful. I know I should visit the doctor. Hopefully soon because no cream is working. I'm trying to stay off my phone and not watch the media because so many negative things are happening. This is why I like to visit all the lovely artists and bloggers for Friday Face Off. It brings me joy and I feel we should do things that make us happy.

  7. Hi Maria. Well, I am so impressed with you. OK, why? You did everything you had on your list. My favorites, potato leek soup and home made chicken pot pie. OMGosh if I lived close by I would have invited myself to dinner. LOL So nice that you get to go to the wedding. I checked out both of your Youtubes and again so impressed with your watercolors. Ohhh and using the paper for the dress that is brilliant. I'm so happy you shared all of this with FFO. Have a very nice weekend.

  8. Your sunflowers and art are so very happy. It looks like (apart from your hands) you have had a pretty good week in so many ways. The wedding should be fun. And wow--pot pie is a favorite of mine and the soup sounds fantastic too!

  10. The face is great and I love your sunflowers photos, they are gorgeous. I journal in Leuchtturm1917 journals as well, I usually buy them when I'm in Germany since they have a bigger variety there and are also less expensive than here in the States. They are my favorite journals (I use the lined ones). Have a lovely weekend!
