Thursday journal

 Unfortunately Neet is still in hospital but getting better, so on my own again.

The words this week are 'I regret every single nap I passed up as a child'

I inked a background and then used a few time stencils over the top, using the same colours. The girl is one of the newer of Dylusion stamps and they are great to use. Not quite so way out as some of the others.

Emily has a new job and comes home really tired, she has to see to Squiggles her little cat, do the housework and get herself a meal. She couldn't wait to get her own place, it seemed such a good idea. At least her mum doesn't have to wait up for her if Emily goes out in the evening. Mind you she wishes she  wasn't too tired to go out. Apart from that Emily is finding it very tiring, and could really do with a nap when she came home. The trouble with that is she wouldn't be able to sleep when she went to bed. lunch time would be ideal but she was pretty sure her boss would not be amused.

"Honestly Squiggles I regret every single nap I passed out on as a child" Squiggles wasn't impressed as he could go to sleep whenever he felt like it, humans he couldn't understand them at all.

Art Journal journey - A moment in time.

One for my theme of 'A moment in time' on Art Journal Journey, this time loads of clocks each giving a moment in time and cogs, on a sprayed ink background with some collaging.

Thursday Journal

 I have used a double page that I had already done the background on. As it had circles on it I stamped watches on some them. The story is also about a moment in time.

The words this week are ' Sorry I hung up on you...I din't mean to answer.

When Faith went round to see her friend Glenys, she was a bit puzzled as to why Glenys had phoned her up and then put the phone down as soon as Faith said hello. Perhaps she phoned the wrong number and put the phone down straight away. Anyway Faith was a bit put out and decided to go round and see if she was alright.

When Faith arrived at Glenys house, Glenys invited her in. and Faith asked what was going on.

"Well explained Glenys, Sorry I hung up on you...I didn't mean to answer. I thought if I put it down quickly you would't have time to answer. The thing is I have a new phone and I put all my friends numbers in and gave everyone a number, so I was ringing the number I had allocated to them to see if it worked"

"Don't be daft Glenys, how would you know it was them if they didn't answer it" explained Faith.

"Oh I never thought of that, it's a good job you came round to tell me that, as I was just about to try the other numbers" Glenys giggled at how silly she had been.

Art Journal Journey - A moment in time.

 A page for my theme on Art Journal Journey, this time featuring a few mice and a little elf. They taking time to sleep, or dance I used an illustration  of an elf and stamped some images of the house mouse series.

Art Journal Journey - A moment in time

 I am hosting Art Journal Journey this month with the theme of 'A moment in time' This can encompass many different aspects of time, being a moment in actual time when something happened, a collection of ephemera, sayings, poems. In fact anything that reflects a moment in time. 

For my first one I have used a card background with a section of corrugated card in the centre. Around and on it are several types of ephemera : clock faces, cogs, numbers, and some shrink plastic stamped images, which denote a different Age (or moment bin time) I am using this page as the cover for my art journal.

 Neet is still not well and missing doing our Thursday journal.

This week the words are 'I don't have a shopping problem. You have a problem with my shopping. 

Sophie and her mum Sarah are having a bit of a difference of opinion as to what Sophie should be buying with her pocket money and the small amount she earns doing shopping for some off the elderly people who live near them. As far as Sophie is concerned it's her money and she wants to buy the things she likes.

Her mum on the other hand thinks Sophie should buy sensible things like comfy shoes and clothes that suit her age group.

Sophie was really into steampunk at the moment and had bought herself a nice pair of boots and hat both steampunk style. Her mum obviously thought they were awful and told Sophie what she thought of them.

Sophie was not giving in and said to her mum " I don't have a shopping problem. You have a problem with my shopping" 

There wasn't an essays answer to that so Sophie's mum just gave up and went to cook dinner. She just hoped that Sophie wouldn't wear that ridiculous hat to dinner. She dreaded what Sophie's dad would think of it.

Thursday journal with Neet

Neet is still not well so I'm still on my own. The quote this week is 'Sometimes you just got to get your halo dirty'

Biddy's friend had come to see Biddy and her decorations for Halloween. Anna was really keen on Halloween and usually held a party at her house. She been doing this for about five years now and Biddy had decided as a surprise she would host it this year in her flat.

Biddy didn't like Halloween and couldn't think why people went a bit mad about it, she thought it far too commercialised. But this year she felt it was about time she made a real effort and asked her best friend Anna to come and give her opinion.

"Well, this is a bit of a surprise" said Anna looking around "and you even have a witches hat on, well done I'm impressed" "Are you going to wear some witches cloths on party night as well?"

"Don't be silly Anna, that's going a bit too way out  for me, it took a lot of effort to get this far, you know I don't really like halloween. But sometimes you just got to get your halo dirty"
