Hello! I just thought I would pop in and let you all know that I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth

I am happy to say that these last two months have been filled with lots of visits with family. But, I made a promise to myself that I would put creating aside to spend quality time with them…and I did! The aftermath is that the projects continued to pile up, and now I am scrambling around trying to catch up with them along with my household responsibilities.

I need a vacation from my vacation!

Anyway, I have managed to get a couple of things done, so I thought I would share. If you have seen these photos on IG or FB, I apologize, this is all I’ve got!

I joined Art to the 5th‘s “Documented Life” project, “The Unplanner”. I had been tracking my creative doings in a planner, but it was getting really time consuming to decorate up the planner pages every month. So, when this creative version of documenting my creativity came up, it was a perfect fit. The problem is catching up on five months of projects! I’m getting a pretty good handle on it now, but not much else is getting done.

These are January’s PAC’s (pocket art cards). They have monthly and weekly challenges. The art tag at the right was a challenge to include writing or doodles from somebody else. I chose to use a page from my mom’s address book, what a wonderful way to create a keepsake, I love it!

The rest are my versions of January’s PAC challenges.

This is what I came up with for the first part of May.

Even though I have managed, once again, to bite of more than I can chew, I am really enjoying learning new techniques. My art making desperately needed a shot in the arm. Not only that, but I am using up a lot of random stuff I have been holding on to for years! Win!

I’ll have a few more things to share soon, it’s just a matter of getting organized.

Thanks again for stopping by,

Talk to you soon
