an original page in the book.  i wish i would have taken a pic of the cover..umph

well this is the inside cover and first page.  i was holding onto an old camelot calendar and now i have a place to use those wonderful images

and everyone know that a smash book is where you can keep your precious junk..lol  so here was a cand wrapper that i saved from wheni was 13 years old from my cousin in japan.( thats on the orange and pink page) the opposite page is one from my favorite magazine when i was young ( Wizard, for all those comic book fans)

one page with tickets of my 17 month olds first trip to the aquarium

one of my boys birthday party that we celebrated this summer.  i mean the napkins from the theme was art in itself i had to save one along with pics i printed out to make a custom coloring book as the thank you gift.

just page prep( an old manga book and mag pages)

an envelope with my first WASHI TAPE experiment.  i do say they came out nice

the back cover with my washi tape

Well i hope you enjoyed.  if you are wondering about the purple bag in the pictures.  it is actually a bag i put together to keep all my smash journaling things in.. i will do another blog about that soon.  hope you enjoyed the sneek peek. and i confiscated the dinner table again with my mess!  

trying something new. a finished painting lol

Good monday everyone!  I have definitely out done myself these past couple of days.  I actually finished a painting. a small painting but finished none the less. it has been a long time since i have been able to just paint  and i am glad.  This is not normally my style of painting but i saw this piece of wood and i was feeling very summery...(is that a word? lol) and this is what came about.  Though we live near beaches, the sand is what gets to me.  oh sand everywhere plus the boys hair will have sand for what seems like weeks, no matter how well i wash them  haha  well we do love the beach so it is worth it.  This is my Wind Water and Freckles girl hope you enjoy her.
