  • sun and the city

    First, another RubyTuesday spread.  It may or may not be finished.  I let the pages get super dry before I decide if I'm going to write on them or add a little something else.  Sometimes it will be days before I look at them again.  I tend to prefer pages without writing so I will probably leave it.  It's more fun to start a new set of pages.  Keep moving forward.

    Second, Fallon and I met Edie in the city to see the Burton exhibit at the MoMA…but the times tix were sold out.  Duh!  Should have checked.  We still a grand day.  It was a sunny and glorious afternoon in New York.  We stumbled upon a cool shop – just opened that day!  How cool is this scarf?  Large enough to be a poolside wrap.

    Also scored a garland light by Tord Boontje.  I am a fan.  It was hanging there whispering to me…couldn't resist.  Look at this video.  Can't wait to hang it in my bedroom.

    We had seen a group of kilted men on the train…and later ran into hundreds of kilted men, women, and children marching in the St. Andrews parade on 6th.  I loved all the pomp, and the bagpipes made me swoon.  I would love to try playing one.  Has anyone done it?  Tell tell.

    So I'm a little late posting this page.  At least I kept up!  I'm also late with the crusade, but it's up now, whew!

    There is nothing better than working with reckless abandon, and no concern for "what am i going to do with this" - just playing to learn.  Hope you'll join us this month.   

    Sam turned 18 yesterday.  Eighteen!  Sweet kiss from his sweet friend :)  Makes my heart sing to see him so happy.

    Lots of comments about my custom *lucky girl* ring.  From etsy of course!  Made by Chris at CreativeMode.  In fact, all the rings are from etsy.  See also aprilkawaoka, pufflunakaralmavaaliciasjoy, cherrycreek,  tinahdee, panicmama, and sterlingstones.  Rock On is from somewhere else…can't remember now.

  • E is for enthusiasm, evidence

    I had limited time today to make my rubytuesday pages since I'm heading out to pick up Mom from the airport.  It was easy to do these – simply documented recent events by tucking away some *evidence*, and scribbling down some thoughts.

    I was so touched and tickled by the responses you left on my last post.  I printed out the comments for my journal page.  I get it that not all of you are HIM fans.  And you may even roll your eyes when you arrive to see another post about them.  But what is really cool is that you were still able to share the enthusiasm with me.  And you get it that these projects and experiences are important to me.   Thank you.

    Oh!  You want to know where that cool *evidence* tape came from? When I was looking for pre-printed toe tags I came across  crimescene.com   I ended up making my own toe tags, but found lots of great stuff at that place.  I have been keeping a journal….yes another….that is all about barrier tape.  I collect different specimens of tape while out and about, and friends even send me some.  I have tape confiscated from the local premises of Greece, Italy, and France!

    And courtesy of ATPhotography, a few shots from the show Friday night.  It was spectacular!  Next up:  three more dates in May!

  • cross my heart

    So I picked up this Sanctum bracelet from Brighton over the weekend.  Like I needed another cross charm bracelet…but I couldn't resist.  The gift bag and printed tissue paper was the final *sign* that it was meant to be mine.  I cut up the evidence to use on this journal page.

    We are using tissue paper on our journal pages for Crusade No. 38 so it was a cinch to begin this spread…layered the thin printed tissue on the left.  Love how layers of roses show through because of the sheerness of the tissue.  Added torn pieces from the gift bag…painted over it all to *make it mine*.  Had a *duh* moment and added the crosses (since that's what was in the bag!)

    I love the clanking of all the charms.  Makes me happy.  It reminds me of my Mom and what it would sound like when she wore her charm bracelet.  Plus I just *heart* crosses.

  • saving stories

    I've been writing.  Writing down stories about how Art Saves.  I think they can be as short as a sentence, or much longer.  I made these journal pages this morning to hold some of my thoughts.  Each week I witness the power of creativity and how it influences myself and others.  In April I will be sharing my story on Crescendoh.com.  I'm already finding it difficult to choose which angle to take.  When the time comes the right one will reveal itself.  For now, I'm enjoying the process of documenting the many ways I know that Art Saves.  Have you thought about your own story?

    Over the weekend a package of Art Saves loot arrived.  Beautifully packaged and great quality stuff.  Very cool to see the logo transformed from my sharpie drawing….and to see Jenny's vision in action.  Bravo girl!  Be sure to pop over to her site…new stuff there every day.
