A couple of weeks ago, I picked up the book, The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood at Barnes & Noble. It was B&N’s book club pick and I’ve never gone to a book club before so I figured I’d give this one a go. The book club experience was really enjoyable. I was super nervous but... Continue Reading →
If you're into scary books for this month, check out "Shaman." It's really scary. I don't recommend reading it at night or before bed. Right now it's free on Kindle until October 20th. mybook.to/shaman
Here is the video showing how I finished one of my layouts following Wilna Furstenberg's mixed media scrapbooking course. This is only from when I used the gelatos to paint. I've already stenciled the paper and allowed it to dry before painting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSzAbav0WsI

I promised not to buy too much crafting supplies but somehow I broke that promise. These will all come in useful though. Separate views: I have a huge 8.5" x 11" stack that I've been collecting. The papers are so pretty I'm afraid to use them, but I really need to.
In April I tried to follow through with an Instragam "draw in your style" type drawing. Draw in your style is where an artist shares a drawing and others follow along by either drawing it in their style or try to draw it the way the artist drew (which is how I did it). I... Continue Reading →
