Warm Fuzzy Slippers

Hello friends.

Did you get anything fun for Christmas?  

I told my hubby I wanted some new slippers just like the ones I wear every day.  He couldn't find them so he bought me two new styles which I love  - especially the fuzzy boot ones.  They came on a very cool chipboard hanger which I immediately thought would make a fun journal page!  I could have altered the hanger but I wasn't feeling it and used it just like it was.

I used little torn pieces of leftover Christmas tissue paper to make my slippers and I took a few liberties with the My Favorite Things lyrics.  The page is covered with Willow ink from CTMH which I splattered with water. 

I had so much fun making this page this morning at 4:00AM, and it fits perfectly with Erika's Favorite Things theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.  

The first day back at work wasn't too bad - let's hope today is the same.  Hope yours is full of your favorite things.

Hugz,

Nancy

    I think it was more clever not to alter the hanger and to make those fuzzy slippers. They are very very cool!!! I like how you added the song too, because warm fuzzy slippers are the best. I forgot they are part of the lyrics. I always think of the girls in white dresses and warm woolen mittens. OK, now I will drive the dogs nuts by singing. Smile. This is a super page Nancy, and I am glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey. I hope your new slippers are as fun as the ones you created. Thanks for joining us, and hope to see you at Try It On Tuesday too. Hugs-Erika

    I love this! Your are so creative! Your Journals are such keepers! (with so many neat memories in them) When I first started blogging. I used to do a page every week showing my favorite things...maybe I should post one or two of those again ...with going down memory lane theme, and maybe some new ones too. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Love this! I like that you made some 'slippers' and added those words to the actual hanger! 4a.m.???....did you go back to bed afterwards? I sometimes find that a quick play in my craft room when I'm wide awake helps me get back to sleep! Hugs, Chrisx

    Such a fun journal page and a lovely way to recycle the hanger from your slippers! Loving the fluffy tissue paper slippers too with the bows and the wording made me smile - perfect 😁. Happy January! Hugs, Jo x

    What a clever hubby to get you slippers that you like.
    The tissue paper slippers are fun and it's a great idea to use the real slippers' hanger.
    Happy New Year!

    What a brilliant idea to make some fluffy slippers from strips of tissue - I thought at first they were the actual slippers you got. That is now one cool idea to use the hanger in the way you did and it is the second time I have seen that song mentioned on a blog post tonight. Now I really cannot get the song out of my head - good job it is a happy one. I might have a lovely dream now.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    A fabulous idea with the hanger and the song. Love your alteration on it. Tissue paper has so many uses. I get my watercolour pens from Arteza. Don't buy very cheap ones from China, they are a waste of money.

    Still playing catch-up, but I love what you have done with this song. I see what you mean when you left that message on my blog about your entry. I really like the way you used the hanger for those adorable slippers. It was a great take on this very popular song. It's also perfect for Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey. Great entry, dear.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
