Keep Going Sunday

There seems to be a list of To Do longer than time this weekend. Last week I was able to do some creative work. These were two cards created for a coworker.

Both cards used scrap papers that I love. I liked the colors and details in each card. Both have a vintage feel. I reused an old button for the center of the flowers and then created the cardboard heart added gold paint with a splash of gesso for the other card.

One day I hope to be more of the art but until I am thankful for the time I get to do little bits. I am truly blessed and my top 5 blessings this week..

1. A beautiful homily at Mass today.

2. Music

3. Time with family

4. Paint pens

5. Yummy bakery items

Have a wonderful week, Amanda

Sunday Blessings

This is a photo my daughter created in her Digital Photo class. She is so creative and I have lots of her art in my art room.

This is a mask that I have hanging up that she created in 7th Grade and won an award in the Art Show.

 I have put some of her art around her photo in the family room. Though she may be at a point in her journey where I am the Mom that makes her do things she does not want to do, I will always be the Mom that is so proud of her! She is a true blessing that I am so thankful for every day. I can't believe in 2 weeks from tomorrow, she will have been my blessing for 17 years.. time flies. I am so thankful and my top 5 are:

1. Though we may not see eye to eye, Love always will

2. Peaceful hot days that will melt into Fall

3. Creative blogs that inspire me

4. Good friends sharing our journey together

5. Learning to laugh more and not stress when I forget things.. (This has made it to the top of my prayer list!)

Sunday cares

Some sundays no matter how I may try, I seem to not be able to stop thinking too much. I really wanted to finish some work on my calendar pages. So this is a page with too many thoughts. I am learning to use some tissue paper to get a design. I also used some stamps and created some flowers. I think that I just need to let it go and I am thankful and the top 5 are:

1. Cooler summer days

2. Open to new ideas

3. Spending time with family

4. Looking for options

5. Two weeks until journal making class

Have a wonderful week.
