Sisterhood Journal page and Color of Summer is Purple!

Well I am very slowly getting there I think... finally can load my camera and my printer now works.. I really hate figuring out this techie stuff but it's been harder not being home much either...all of these things take time...lol sheesh ... go figure! When I downloaded and installed Firefox it said it successfully got all my bookmarks from IE.. but so not sure where they went.. or any kind of tool bar either..lol...
I did finish up my Summer of color Purple page though.. you can't see in the pic but it has a top layer of clear sparkle paint on it..
I am so sorry that I have missed everyone's red pages and probably will miss most of the purple too.. there isn't a day that I will be home or have family here over the next 10 days.. I am hoping I can catch up and see everyone's arty pieces once the wedding etc is over....
I finally finished Eva's June book pages and got it sent off to Lori on Friday for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sketchbook.. so here it is.. I hope she likes it...it's a combo of acrylics, wax pastels and paper...

I was so lucky.. I was a little ticked when I went to Michael's after my computer died because I hadn't had a chance to print off the coupons.. first person I saw when I walked in was a friend.. laughing I said you didn't happen to print off extras did you? well..... she had printed off them all.. so she gave me some artsy ones she said she wouldn't use.. and I got a set of wax pastels and AND.... the Inktense watercolor pencils I have been wanting forever for 40% off.. whoo hooo!!!!
Anyways the sale is tomorrow.. will have some gorgeous pics of Lake Winnipeg to show you I hope.. car is packed and I am soooooo ready for bed... it was a very long day at work today.. craziness abounds.. school supplies coming in like crazy.. and need to be put out asap...
Sweet Dreams.. have a great night.. talk to you all again soon... I hope...lol

  7. Ooh, PURPLE! And I love those beautiful June pages you did for Eva's book. They're gorgeous, you did a great job!

    It can be sort of annoying to try and figure out new techie things - I'm always afraid I'll ruin something, which is why when there's something to download on my computer I let Dad do it. ;) I'm sure you'll get the hang of your computer soon if you keep working at it, though! :) At least if you couldn't print out your own coupons, your friend was there to give you a few. :) That's what friends are for, right? ;D LOL

  11. Computer stuff stinks, doesn't it? I'm so glad I have a computer savvy husband who fixes all of my problems for me... ;) I LOVE your pages, that one with the hummingbird is fabulous, although the purple is pretty striking too! Sounds like things are super busy on your end, hope you're able to keep your balance. :)
