NEW VIDEO: My Traveler's Journal Tutorial

Happy Tuesday! What a crazy year 2020 has been. With all the emotional ups and downs, journaling has been a source of comfort for me. This year, I started using traveler's journals and I love the style. It allows me to use my scrapbook supplies and imagination to create some expressive pages. This video was inspired by a friend Liz who gave me the idea. Thanks Ms. Liz!



My new tutorial video featured supplies I use, an inside look, how I create a page and my thoughts on the recent racial injustice and the positive improvements. Take a look!


Here are a few of the pictures from the video. Supplies are from Joann.com and Amazon.com. (Shopping list is in the description box of the video.)

I started to rewrite the right page for the video but I am glad I didn't. Mistakes are welcomed in my journal!





Now I can say, what a great year to journal! We are living in a special historic time and I want to document these moments in writing. I encourage you to write it out and enjoy the process.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. This is my 3rd YouTube tutorial video and I am thrilled I am finally doing this! :)

    Great job on your tutorial. I love the stamping on washi tape. I have never done that. Cool look.
    Congrats on filling this with your own personal thoughts. Beautifully done.

      I loved playing with the washi tape for the balloon and I want to try more ideas like this. Glad you got some inspiration from this video.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
