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!
Hello my wonderful friends! I hope you are all good.
Linking this blog post with FFO Friday Face Off hosted by the wonderful and talented Nicole.
These three faces were frustrating to create be honest. I was not happy in the beginning but I worked through my emotions. lol Yes they have flaws but we are perfectly imperfect too.
I wanted to share some more Artwork and some Youtube Shorts with you today but before I do I wanted to share that I deleted X (formerly known as twitter), my facebook Fan page, TikTok, Goodreads and Deviant Art. Too much time wasted! I feel so much better and lighter now.
I will only be using my blog, Youtube, pinterest and IG. Eventually I will get rid of IG and Facebook all together. I have just wasted so much time on these apps and I want to just focus more on my family and creating some art and sharing it with you all on this blog.
Doom scrolling stresses me out and I just won't do it anymore. I would like to live in the moment and enjoy each day with my family and create art and I will be sharing my art and stories with you all. I really like this artist community on here and I am grateful for each and everyone of you.

I kindly received some paints, brushes and paper from my friend Mel from British Columbia and I painted two paintings. Her Youtube Channel is EverythingMarmie.
Gouache Paintings
I love the birds. I want to make a sky with just birds.
This reminds me of PEI. I miss the Ocean.
Gouache paints are thicker and need water dilution a lot. The paint has a matt finish. Not sure I like matt finish. I do like the fact you can layer the paint when it is dry and add more detail to it.
This is watercolours on postcards.
Iced Matcha with Almond milk
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day and a wonderful weekend.
Here in Canada we have family day on Monday so it's a long weekend for us. I hope to do some art, thrift and make a vlog this weekend. Have a very happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate.
