I hope this doesn’t seem redundant, but yes I have made another video.
It’s a process video of this Collage Gratitude journal, you can see the video here.
Announcing videos seems to be only activity on this blog of late, but I hope to change that up a bit some time soon with some shoppe news along with the occasional life updates.
I’m changing directions slightly on ‘this here blog’ because I share so many photos of my work on other social media, it felt as though I was repeating myself all the time, and I want the content here to be a little different.
Most of what I have been spending my time on lately is catching up on housework and decorating.
This set of drawers and shelf had been sitting naked for almost 20 years, I painted them over the weekend. It feels fantastic to finally get this done!
I’ve been spending the past few weeks going from room to room, making notes of what needs to be cleaned up, finished up, or gotten rid of. So, art making and my shoppe have been knocked down the priority list somewhat. My house is really starting to look good, and it feels great! Having a laundry list of To Do’s in the back of my mind all the time was cluttering up my brain, and stifling my creativity.
There are still a few more pieces of furniture to paint, a few sewing and crochet projects to finish up, and some decluttering to do, but the more I do the less daunting it all seems.
I hope you don’t mind my switching things up around here. This is where I hope to post pix of my sewing and crochet projects, decorating, and shoppe updates, and keep most the art journaling photos on IG, YouTube, and Facebook. Just give me a follow if you want to see them.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks again for the visit,
Have a great day,

Well, I guess this video thing is going to happen on a whim. I woke up yesterday and just felt like making one. You can find it here.
In it you will learn a little bit about this collage journal I have been working on this summer.
And a little bit about my page making process.
I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think.
See you soon,
~Patty
After much trepidation and angst, I finally made a video for Youtube! The logistics were holding me back, who knew a $10 clamp arm would do the trick. I’m going to be honest here, my olde brain doesn’t navigate technology very easily. So, this was quite an undertaking, but I did it!
Check it out, I even figured out how to put into my blog!
(Please excuse the overuse of “tidbits”, I was a little nervous. I was pleased with everything else about this video and didn’t want to redo the whole thing over one word.)
I’m hoping to do some process videos soon, I have so much to share at this point, it might get a bit out of control!
Meanwhile, I’ll be making more of an effort on this little blog in future, I miss all of you guys a lot!
Until next time,
Thank you for stopping in,
~Patty
Well, it has been little over a month since I last blogged, it seems like longer! I didn’t announce a break because I didn’t plan one, it just happened.
I thought I would pop in quickly and let you know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, or less dramatically, stopped blogging.
With all the whirlwind visits and obligations since the beginning of the year, I just kept falling farther and farther behind on just about everything in my life. So, I decided to drop a few obligations and play catch up…
I’m slowly getting my house in order.
The “Great Weeding Project” is well under way.
I’m in the process of reworking another “List Journal”, a summer theme for this one.
I have managed to fill my shoppe up a little.
And, I try to start my day with some faith journaling.
I have even managed to get a long awaited project off the launching pad, Project Life. This is a digital version, but I have also taken 35 years of photos out of very old photo albums, organized them chronologically, and started putting them into Project Life albums, Yay! I’ll be sharing more on this soon.
This is my life in a nut shell. It has been a mad scramble trying to get everything done, but well worth it!
I’ve decided that writing on this blog once a week will work for me much better than three times a week, at least for a while just to free up some much needed time.
Thank you for stopping by,
See you in about a week,
Patty
