Beauty Hints

I seem to be in a journal page mode, with lace!!
This is my entry for the digital2fortuesday challenge, this was such a great image to play with....I'd love to embroider it and hope to do so in the near future....hmmm.....if I get the time!

also did a couple more pages with some images from past challenges on digital2for tuesday and wanted to share them too

the weather is cooling off here and the sweaters are pulled out and worn so I can only dream of the warm weather and swimming and the beach....sigh... but at least I can play around with this journal of mine and pretend its beach time and fun....and pretend I've got the curves like these lovely ladies!! LOL!!
hey why not?? If I'm gonna dream then it may as well be the whole shabang!!(is that a word? and if it is did I spell it right?) But the reality is that it is raining and somewhere around 50 degrees out and I've got a sweater on this so out of shape body of mine...and Krissa is in school and I hear my pillow yelling my name so I'm thinking it must be nap time!

Thanks for looking and have a great everyone!!

Life is a Highway

How's that cold,cough for me please,lets take your temperature..... We've had a little bit of sickness around here this week, not the flu but still a bad cold with a slight fever, causing krissa to miss a couple of days of school....and since she loves to share I got it too! Ahh, you know what I'm talking about, huh....so anyway, we kind of took care of each other, and if you have little ones you know what I'm talking about!LOL...so not much time for blogging this week.....

so much to do,so little time..... The challenge this week at mixed media monday was maps. So had fun with a journal page and this is what I came up with. The image is a digital from cora at digital2fortuesday that I colored in, the papers are from some of my scrapbooking stash.

Did a few other things this week that I'll try to get posted this weekend, but falling asleep as I sit here typing so best find that bed and pillow before I conk out here....ok, am I the only one or has anyone else fell asleep while sitting at the puter desk? and I'm not sitting in a recliner or nothing like that, but I can get comfy enough in this chair here that I doze off....but I have to admit, I think I could sleep just about anywhere, should have seen me yesterday almost asleep on the floor in the playroom while Krissa played nearby...what can I say, my head felt like it weighed a ton,she couldn't go to school because she was still a little bit sick and at least I'm no more that 2 feet away so I can still keep an eye on her....

Enjoy the weekend everyone and thanks for stopping in.

Zlightly Zetti

I had so much fun creating this piece!!the challenge this week at Three Muses was zlightly zetti ,first I created the digital piece above..then made a journal page out of it.
