Paint, Grandson Time, and Some Unusual Faces....

I am a learner. I am in love with learning.  I wish that had been true when I was younger, but it didn't hit me until I was in my 30s.  

I learned so much this week that my head hurt. So fun.  My favorite thing I learned was from Wanderlust 2022 (#wanderlust2022class).  This class was about art journaling yourself among other things.  Two of my grandsons were here (ages 4 and 6) so we did it together and we had a blast.  




Posted in order of age!  I may or may not have taken the liberty of making my face a little thiner and m hair a bit longer and cooler and Allie may or may not now be a pirate, but it was fun, fun, fun.  

I am so glad I signed up to do Wanderlust.  Linking these fun faces to Erika's Let's Face It theme at **Art*Journal*Journey*.  

Hugz,

Nancy

    I also love learning things. All kinds of things. What a fun time you had Nancy. I can tell by the fact that your daughter is a pirate. If you weren't in the moment I don't guess you would have done that. I like how you had your grandsons join you also. These are all perfect for AJJ, and perhaps your grandsons have some future art in their lives too. Thanks so much for sharing with us at AJJ. I'm ready to go paint faces now after seeing these. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

    These are so awesome Nancy and I'm sure you don't regret one bit of the time you've enjoyed sharing with the grands! Always fun to make memories and these look like so much fun along with being a keepsake!

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!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

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....
