Title here.

I started a painting today. I like it so far. But don't want to get my hopes up, because I usually ruin any foray into painting on canvas. Haha.



AND. Pray for me tomorrow around 1:30 CT. I have a job interview. And I desperately need an actual job.
:) :) :)

Pattern inspiration

I got a new wallet. And it totally inspired me to make a fun entry. No words...no real "meaning"...but FUNNNNNN! and you know what? i LOVED doing it.


One of these days, I'll actually edit and post the video I've made. But editing is such a chore. Windows Movie Maker hates me, and messes up like every other second, so it's annoying to try and do anything in it.

I'm a horrible blogger.

Yeah so blog week didn't really make it.




BUUUT....the other day I tried something new in my journal: drawing!

It's nothing amazing. I'm not going to sit here and wax poetic on the girl I drew...but it was fun! It came out messed up....and the wings look stupid, I don't even know why I drew them. I'm not intpo wings and fairies...but whatever!


So uh...if you need something to do in your journal....DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! A different technique, a new color, a new style...don't write? do nothing but write. don't (or can't) draw? DO IT ANYWAY. just have fun. :)

Day number 3.

I have two tests that I should be studying for.




SO...here's a short prompt.

(And a promise of a beefy, picture laden post tomorrow.)

What's overwhelming you right now??

Off-Subject.

I don't know if you've read about it, but in Fouke, Ark., a "church" was raided on suspicion of child porn being made there. Story here, in case you want to read up.


This is right down the road from me, about 30 minutes away. Keep the kids in your prayers, please. Everyone around here knows how out-there these people are, and i personally would not be surprised if the investigation does find child porn was made there.

My hope is that the kids are safe and are able to be removed from the area and from the people hurting them there.

Day numba two.

I will dedicate this post to sharing blogs that I love (in case you missed the lil section on the side full of links).

Could I even talk about art journals without mentioning, even in just one sentence, Ms. Suzi?

Or Samantha Kira?

But beyond art journaling, and just for fun, I love to check up on Elsie...her blog is oh so inspiring and fun, and I'm totally jealous of how creative she is.

And this girl's blog is pretty cool just cause she's so different. I don't know much about her...or really any of the people whose blogs I read..but I love the pics she uploads and her style is very very different.



I love blogs. So if you would like to share the blogs that you read in the comment section...I would love to check em out!

I almost missed it.

lol. today has been filled. I left at 8:40 am...and was not back until around 12 hours later...


I'm in bed. In my pjs....about to get warm in snuggly. Scooter is totally passed out next to my knee, and I'm gonna start the hunt for something good on tv.







Tomorrow will start all the funness. But I didn't want to skip the VERY FIRST DAY of my blog week. Guess it's bad that blog week is starting on a friday....









Anyway. Let's say you stumbled across this post...and are dying for something fun to do in your art or visual journal (however you refer to yours).

"Prompt": (does it sound too corny?)

How do you get comfy, and just relax after a long day? What do you do to unwind? Do you get to do it as often as you would like? Do you like to be alone, or spend the time with someone else? TV on or off? Book?

have fun! I would love to see your page. email is owlsNelephants@aol.com

I'm not deleting.

And I'm staying with all of you.



There have been some things (small but still a big deal to me 'cause I'm that kinda person, lol) in my life that had me kind of out of it for a while.



But that's another story, and this is the FUN blog? (Although I think today is the first time I've called it that.)

Anywhoooo...I'm gonna start making new vids. This break gave me time to think of tons of new ideas. And in my first new video, there will be a little give away, so look forward to that.




I'm also gonna bust outta the art journal and have some vids doing different things. So...here's to a new chapter of OwlsAndElephants!

Oh...and I'm deeming the next week BLOG WEEK. Someone asked me if i could do challenges on here for you guys... I had had that plan when I began this, but that kind of got lost. So I'll be doing that. Each day for the next 7 days, I'll have a new idea, challenge, etc etc up.



AND ...trying to wrap up this all words post....I'm going to try and make some "beginner" videos. I'm not really sure how I'll go about this since I'm no expert in art journals...but you know...we'll see how this works out.





WOOO! :)

Reconsidering.

I might not go through with the whole dropping out of it all thing.







We'll see.




:-)

This is the end.

I've enjoyed my short time here, sharing ideas and whatnot...but this is the end for me.



I'll be deleting this blog in the VERY near future.




And soon, my videos will be gone as well.





Thanks for having fun with me, and I hope that I inspired you just a teeny tiny bit. :)
