Happy Halloween! 🎃 Art and Journal Planning

Happy Halloween! 

Happy Friday my spooktacular friends. 

I am so sad that it is the end of October. 

So sad that all the trees will have no leaves anymore. 

A compilation of October in a mini video.

But I am very grateful for each moment. 

October truly was an incredible month.

Lots of Art, Tea and Journaling!

I would like to Link this post up with Nicole's Friday Face Off & Art For Fun Friday 

hosted by Gillena.

Thank you both for hosting lovely parties. 

I kindly received a Leuchtturm1917 Notebook. 

Thank you so much to Leuchtturm1917.

I painted the trees and the colours that I see around me.

Brrrr It's cold outside

I haven't started the Portrait Challenge yet.

 I will probably use a photo of when I was younger and start working on it next week. 

I did enjoy making this little portrait of how cold it is in the mornings. 

Another watercolour tree with lots of autumnal colours. 

I bought this sticker book off of Amazon and I love it. 

I have no idea how I can use this besides in my journal. Any Ideas?

Making cards? 

A flip through of the sticker book.

Finishing up my old Leuchtturm1917 before I get into the new one gifted to me for November.

Tuesday Tea and A Farewell to October

Bewitched in Spooktacular Adventures

 Happy Thursday!

Linking up today's post with Little Things Thursday and Thursday Art & Dinner Date. 

How is everyone doing? This week I was able to do some artwork and journaling. My back is getting better but still hurts and my left arm from Lymphedema hurts this week. It's a constant battle as I get older. I am okay and grateful for each day.

Lately I've been enjoying walks in Autumn leaves

I've enjoyed Pizza from Pizzaiolo

I've been enjoying and finding comfort in fragrances like this.

Enjoyed making an Autumn wallpaper on Canva and love eating dumpling soup.

I've been enjoying making vlogs but I do find many challenges with vlogging and editing.

But I love to look back on memories.

It's a creative challenge and I want to get better at it. 

Reflecting back to when I went to the ROM

A Spooctacular visit!

This is a little part of the "Saints, Sinners Lovers and Fools"  Exhibit

"The Southern Netherlands — better known today as Flanders — was home to revolutionary artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Hans Memling, and others. These extraordinary painters found new ways to depict reality, portray humanity, and tell stories that created parallels to their world then - and to our world today.

This large-scale exhibition, featuring over 80 stunning art works and objects — medieval, Renaissance, and baroque paintings, sculptures and more — offers a doorway into the Southern Netherlands of 1400 to 1700, a dynamic environment where new artistic genres and styles were created and flourished. The exhibition's unique presentation introduces the visitor, through these rare, extraordinary artworks, to stories of enterprising townspeople, prosperous cities, and an ever-developing society." -  ROM

I hope you all have a spooctacular Thursday and a wonderful Halloween!

Tuesday Tea & A Farewell Poem to October

Linking up with Tea For Tuesday 

Hosted by the lovely Elizabeth.  Bluebird and Elizabeth's Blog

This is not the poem

I pulled my back last night

Don't ask how 

Ok 

I will tell you

Just getting into my PJ's 

yup that's all it took

Now I'm sitting and can't move from the couch

Thank goodness I have some help today.

Yesterday I tried this tea and It's in my favourite mug

I love the Nutcracker story and this mug is from Indigo

it has the characters all over it

I have a green version of this mug as well but it's in boxes from our move

We haven't unboxed everything

The tea is Organic Green Tea Matcha with toasted rice 

I really love the flavour of the toasted rice.

My Sweet October

October,

Colours of red, orange, yellow, brown

Leaves are falling all around and the air is cool

Fireplace in the air

Sounds of Autumn everywhere

Leaves falling like rain to the ground

The sun is bright 

The sky so blue contrasting with the warm colours of the leaves

oh how I will miss your beauty!

My sweet October.

-Maria Medeiros

Thank you for each moment

I am grateful for each day
