On Saturday I bought a cookie from the local bread shop and it was delicious. I also bought bagels. They are amazing and delicious too. I did not take a picture of the bagels though.
Lately I've been enjoying tea.
Junk Journaling/ Collaging Fun!
I have a lot of fun when I use paper and glue.
I enjoy decorating pages with layers and layers of paper goodies.
I love using
scraps
stickers
newspaper
magazines
junk paper
napkins
anything paper!
receipts and more!
junking it together and adding more on top is soooo fun!
Very relaxing
Enjoy the Spooktacular Videos!
Thank you all for your visit and your wonderful comments!
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!
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.
I am trying to have some summer fun. I am just embracing what is close to home at the moment.
How are you all doing? It's been very hot here so I don't go out much in the heat as it makes me a very moody person. lol

Even though it is Saturday today I wanted to join in and share the love.
On Monday went to the local Library.
These are the two Library books that I took out and I absolutely loved "Pumpkin Heads" by Faith Erin Hicks. I actually really enjoy graphic novels, they are so fun to read.
Went out to a cafe and had a sandwich, salad and coffee and paid too much for this by the way.
Prices are very high at the moment. I rarely go out to eat.
I brought my Leuchtturm1917 with me and did some journaling.
Hello friends! Happy June! The nice weather has arrived and I've made a few art shorts and a couple of youtube videos. I am happy and excited for summer but just as long as the weather stays in the 20's
I've been having challenging days since I turned 50. Not going to lie. I am feeling a bit lost in the direction of my creative creations. Not sure where, what, how and why. LOL Hopefully I can express my self through my art.
May 24th was my 23rd wedding anniversary and hubby bought me flowers and also a lovely patio set where I can sit and read outdoors.
I am truly grateful.
I've been enjoying my morning walks and managed to get my nails done. They do look pretty but how on earth do people work with long nails? I am not getting them done again. lol
I hope you are having a lovely June and I hope you are staying creative.
Some recent films that I watched and love:
Uptown Girls
Amelie
Agneta
I truly wish you the very best in June!
Thank you so much if you are reading this and thank you for your comments.
I am working through "The Artist's Way" and I am enjoying the process. I took myself on one solo art date but have missed three. I need to complete these tasks and maybe tomorrow I will succeed in this challenge. The only difficulty is that I live far from cafes, libraries and galleries. I am sure I can just go out in nature but it is still too cold here in Ontario.
Hello Spring? Where are you?
I can walk for 30 min to get to the shops or take Uber.
I will try my best tomorrow and I will for sure let you know how it goes.
This was week one Solo Art Date and I had a lovely time! An iced coffee and also had a chicken sandwich and salad. I sketched and used watercolours. Truly fun.
I painted two paintings for friends and I can't wait to show you them.
I don't want to spoil their surprise so I will show you them after they receive them.
I also finished my big yellow sketchbook and want to make a video going through each page.
