Good morning.. wow the days are sure flying... been busy at work.. summer holidays so us poor part timers get to pick up all the slack...lol next couple of weeks are crazy...am off today then work for the next 5 days straight..
I know you've all been waiting for this...lol TA DA!! my first squash.... there are more.. and I promise I won't post pics of each and every one.. lol
I did manage to get my
Summer of Color journal pages done on the weekend... love browns and I use them alot so this wasn't hard.. and time seems to be on my mind alot lately..The red was an accident.. not sure if it counts as a bold splash of color... but found out that the colorbox cranberry ink I used didn't dry very quickly on the gel medium and tissue... but did give me a clear place to stamp.. "where does the time go?"
Now Carol over at
Firecracker Kid Primitives is having a 15% off Christmas in July sale.. good till the end of the month.. she has some gorgeous pieces ..
Natalie over at
Tins and Treasures is having her 3rd Anniversary sale for her Etsy store.. not sure how long it lasts so you should check it out today...
Cathy over at
Tolentreasures is having her 500th post giveaway.. wow.. that is alot of posts.. check it out though.. you will love her painting..
You still have a couple of days to get over to
Dezinaworld's great giveaway if you haven't already...closes on the 15th.
Remember that cool slideshow for the Fun Fall Celebration? well it turns out that my items don't show up when you search FFOFG.. they are tagged properly and I redid them all hoping it would work but they don't.. I emailed Etsy a week ago about it and still haven't heard anything back from them..grrrrrr
I did finish a couple of doors .. hard to just do one color or coat and end up not getting back to it till the next day.. or longer..lol
Well I know there was a couple of other things I had to say but I really should get busy.. I have to run into town after lunch and do some errands.. so much for staying home for a whole day...lol....I hope everyone has a loverly day.. and hopefully I will have time to catch up on what you all have been up to for the last week... Thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteThose journal pages have a dream like quality to them. Great layering and lots of interesting images.
ReplyDeleteOh, I definitely think you should show each and every squash, looks delicous!! Love the journal page, I'm also a fan of browns. Hope the next 5 days of work fly by when you're there... but crawl by when you're home. I know it doesn't usually work that way, but... it's worth a shot! ;)

ReplyDelete...and yes I'm wondering where the time goes as well!! LOL

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWe finally made the move to Saskatchewan. Things didn't quite go as planned, but everything is working out just fine. We love our new home in the country, and our garden is doing great. Not quite as good as yours by the look of that wonderful squash. I hope you are well.

Oh I am loving this journal spread Kathy, beautiful work my friend. I grabbed the link you left on FB thanks :) just got home, have been visiting my parents since this morning
ReplyDeletehugs June x
Wow, what a huge awesome squash, Kathy! Is is a spaghetti squash? That's what the shape reminded me of... I <3 spaghetti squash, and now that I'm thinking about them I really want to eat one. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the summer page/door! :D
Such great photos - Everyone seems to have a green thumb but me. I've accidentally killed a cactus garden - poor thing was all over watered and exploded :-(
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea.. emailed you.. glad to hear everything went well.. lol thanks am pretty proud of my first spaghetti squash.. can hardly wait to eat it..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much June..so appreciate it.. glad you got the link.. hope you had a great visit with your parents..

Your first squash is very impressive Kathy. We don't really see them here in the UK (well, I haven't noticed any anyway - lol). My husband is growing a selection of chillies at the moment, although there still at a very early stage.
ReplyDeleteI love your brown journal page - great colour and beautifully collaged too.
Hope you have a lovely weekend xx
I love a garden shot too....and your journal pages are lovely...xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely journal page! And I loved reading that it smells good too - how nice will that be to revisit? Beautiful detail and sentiment, thank you! xo
ReplyDeleteI love your journal page, very apt, where does time go?
ReplyDeleteI like your journal pages! So lovely with the old music sheet, the old paper and the clocks! And I love the splash of red! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Accidents are always the most fun. :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, one thing Etsy seems to be weak at is customer service. Did you post in the forums? Sometimes you can get a quicker answer that way.
ReplyDeleteI think the red blends in nicely with the browns. And that squash! Lucky you to have some veggies, we got wiped out this year. Farmers Market for us!
