2 more journal pages...

The First Page...

Here are a few detail shots...

I am so tired today. I have had to work everyday this week and I am not used to that anymore. Whew!!
Here are some pictures of my really big journal for you...




Don't you want to see more? :) You're gonna have to wait a little bit longer...

Boredom and journal pages...

I am so bored...ugh!! I don't know what to do today. I have been on the computer since I woke up and that's about ALL I do everyday. I got dressed this morning though (at least I didn't stay in my pj's again). I don't know what I want to do, but I want to go do something.
Anyway...here are some art journal pages for you to see. These are the last ones from my other journal. I will start posting pictures from my "huge" journal soon. I am so glad that I finished it. I don't think I will be working that large again. I have decided that I like a smaller journal better.
Enjoy!!!

Art journal pages...

Here are more journal pages. I have started taking pictures of my really big one. It's hard to get it all in one shot, but I'm getting it...I will start posting them soon.

Art class...

Today I took Julie Prichard's Super Nova class (Part 2) that I won by retweeting about it on Twitter. *Thank you Julie!!!* I watched and did ALL the videos today. (I was off of work)! It was so much fun! My inspiration has been renewed for now. I did enough pages to finish my huge art journal that I was working in. I will have to take pictures and start posting them soon. I will probably have to have a lot of detail shots and things because the pages are so big...I don't know if I will be able to fit them all in one shot. Anyway...I have to go now. It is time for supper and I am starving (or maybe just the baby is...LOL)!!

I really like writing like this on a page. I think it is so fun!! :)

Art journal pages...

I still can't believe it...

I am still in shock (but a good kind of shock)!! :) I don't even really feel pregnant. I haven't had any symptoms, no morning sickness (which I am very grateful for), no cravings, nothing...so it's still kinda hard to believe. If I wouldn't have had that ultrasound 2 weeks ago I still would believe it! LOL I am very excited that within the next few months I will start to feel the baby move, we are going to have another ultrasound and try to find out if it's a boy or a girl, just a bunch of new and exciting things will be happening to me. I am not nervous yet, but I will let you know when I start to be!! LOL
I hope everyone has a good weekend! Make it a creative one! :)

Some journal pages...

Here are some of my journal pages from my last journal. I have recently been working in a larger size journal. I have yet to start taking pictures of it though. I am usually one journal behind in taking pictures and showing them off.


I'm sorry that these are sideways!! I just don't know how to fix it!!! Ugh!! :(

Our Christmas 2009

My new toe socks...aren't they cute?

Opening gifts on Christmas Eve...

My mom's Christmas cookies. They are delicious!!! :)

The snow on our steps before Christmas this year. It wasn't a lot, but it was more than we normally get.

My mom's yummy eggnog and pecan pancakes on Christmas morning. They were good!!! Thanks mom!! :)

I made my husband's family brown and serve cinnamon rolls this year for Christmas. They were a big hit! Everyone loved them!

Our Christmas tree with my pretty angel tree topper. I still have it up. I think it is time to take it down now. LOL

Christmas is my favorite time of year!!

I don't know...

I'm sorry that I have been too bored, lazy, busy, (I don't even know what), to blog lately. I have all my Christmas pictures still in my camera just waiting to come out. I have lots of new books to read that I haven't picked up to read yet. I haven't touched my art journal in months. I don't know what is wrong with me. I tried to go shopping today and I couldn't even find one thing to buy. I didn't even feel like going to another store once the first one didn't have what I wanted. I don't feel like myself, but yet I do. I don't even know what I am feeling lately. I don't want to read, art journal, shop, etc. That is not like me at all! Maybe I am starting to change or something or maybe I am just going through a funk of some sort. I don't know. I hope that it goes away soon, whatever it is making me feel like this.
I am not even making "resolutions" this year, because they usually disappoint me (I never actually do any of them). Most of my resolutions are usually about changing myself anyway. I guess that is a good thing in a way because maybe I don't need to change that much. Maybe I should like myself just as I am. Who says that I need to lose weight/cook more/clean the house more often/create more art/get organized? No one...that's who!!! Just me who is always trying to change myself, but maybe I am fine just the way I am.
So what if I am in a funk right now? I know that it will eventually go away and I will get back to doing the things that I love. Maybe I just need to rest for a while until my mojo comes back!!!
Thanks for listening!!!

Babies first pictures...

It's official...I have a baby in my tummy!! It definitely seems more real now that I have actually seen pictures of him/her. I wasn't supposed to have an ultrasound today, but my doctor couldn't hear a heartbeat so she sent me for one. I am kinda glad because I got to actually see the baby. They said that the heartbeat and everything seems fine. They changed my due date though. I am only 11 weeks (not 13 like they originally thought) so my due date is now mid-July which is just fine with me. We had so many birthdays in June that I was hoping that it would be a little later anyway. I am still a little bit in shock, but this whole baby thing is getting more real to me now (especially with pictures). LOL :) It's also a wonderful Christmas gift knowing that my baby is quite healthy and doing just fine!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Random thoughts...

I am so glad that I finished my Christmas shopping today. Now all I have to do is wrap everything.
My hubby is doing the dishes right now...I love him for that (and lots more)!!
It won't stop raining over here. I am tired of swimming to my car every morning. It is ridiculous. There is only so much rain a yard can take. Ugh!!!
I actually did some art journaling the other day (for a few hours). I haven't touched it since. I have decided though that it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I guess I just need a break from art right now. I don't know. I am just not in the mood for painting or doodling or anything. I am getting some art journaling books for Christmas. Maybe, subconsiously, that is what I am waiting for. Hopefully they will give me some inspiration.
I am helping my mom cut and loop together plastic grocery bags for her newest project. She is crocheting/knitting them together to make mats for the homeless. I hope that we can collect enough grocery bags to make more than a couple. It takes lots of bags to make just one.
I am tired. I need to take a shower and go to bed. After all, I do have to work tomorrow.
I am a little bit addicted to facebook games and twitter. I just thought I would confess that to y'all. Now you know where all my time goes!! LOL
Anyway! That's about all that's on my mind right now. I am going to say goodnight and I will talk to you soon.

Some inspiration for today...
