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.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
