journals for a cause

WELL ITS 9AM MOM SLEEPING. BUT THEN..SHE WAS UP..EARLY! I HEARD HER SCREAMING AT 1AM...VISIONS CAME TO MIND..I RUN IN THERE AND SHE SAYS..VERY SWEETLY " CAN I HAVE A COOKIE"!!! SO..SHE IS NOW...SLEEPING.!

I THINK I TOLD YOU..WELL IF I HAVE NOT..REMEMBER..I AM GETTING OLDER..I FORGET! BUT, THERE IS A WONDERFUL GROUP THAT HAS DEDICATED THEIR MINUTES OF EXTRA TIME TO ENSURING THAT NEW MOTHERS...TO WHOM GOD CHOOSES TO CALL THEIR LITTLE BABIES BACK HOME...ACTUALLY RETURN FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH A 'CARING BOX'...AND NOT EMPTY HANDS..AND I AM CREATING SOME JOURNALS TO PUT IN THE BOXES.....I AM SURE I HAVE MENTIONED THIS, BUT FOR THOSE JUST READING THE BLOG..KNOW..WHAT A HEART THIS GROUP HAS..

ANYWAY, HERE IS THE COVER OF ONE OF THE BOOKS READY TO DELIVER.YOU CAN'T SEE THE WORDS, FLOWING OUT..BUT YOU CAN CATCH THE BUTTERFLIES!

AND THE BACK COVER.............MEANWHILE, IN BETWEEN I HAVE BEEN TRYING SOME NEW PAINTING TECHNIQUES, MIXING AIRBRUSH PAINTS AND ACRYLICS...I LIKE IT! NEVER GET THE SAME LOOK TWICE! NOW TO TRY IT ON SOMETHING LARGER.

I THINK ITS TIME TO GET THE AIRBRUSH OUT. I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO..LONG BEFORE MIXED MEDIA MIND SET IN! THEY WERE GETTING RID OF THEM AND RATHER THEN 129..IT WAS 29.00!!! WHAT THE HECK. SUCH A BARGAIN FOR THE COUPON QUEEN THAT HAD NO IDEA ( BUT SOMEONE DID) THAT I WOULD EVER BE HAPPY FOR HAVING ONE!
AND ..THE LATEST BOX. ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE A BOX ON HAND..NEVER KNOW!

THIS CERAMIC LADY WITH THE PURPLE HAT WAS ACTUALLY THE TOP OF A JAR THAT BROKE! DARN. JUST CAN'T THROW ANYTHING OUT! I ALSO EXPERIMENTED WITH PUTTING PLEXIGLASS ON THE TOP..AND GLUING THE PAPER ..UNDER...THE PLEXIGLASS..AND THE GLUE DID NOT SHOW! THEN TRIMMED IT WITH BRIGHT ORANGE RIBBON..SHE IS JUST ALL SET TO GO...SOMEWHERE!
OK. HERE IS THE BANJO PICTURE..AGAIN. GETTING READY FOR MY FIRST LESSON. TIME TO CLOSE ALL THE WINDOWS AND DOORS! I SHOULD PUT A SIGN OUT FRONT...NEW BANJO FOR CHRISTMAS!
WELL NICE CHATTING WITH YOU. WILL UPDATE THE BLOG WITH PICTURES OF OUR GIRLS DAY OUT...WENT TO SEE ' RESPECT" AT HERBERGER! WE ALWAYS HAVE FUN WHEN WE GET TOGETHER...ITS JUST 'GETTING TOGETHER' THAT SEEMS DIFFICULT.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT HAPPENS WITH FRIENDS.???? SHOULDN'T. 'STUFF' GETS IN THE WAY...20 YEARS FROM NOW WILL REALIZE..'STUFF' REALLY WASN'T THAT IMPORTANT...BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE TOO YOUNG AND BUSY TO SEE IT,, WE JUST KNOW WE LOVE IT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN!!
