Something a little different

I decided to try a different technique with my pages. I don't think I will stop here, this is just a foundation, just not sure what I want to do to it next. I really do not want to cover the pictures up, anyone have any suggestions for me?
This one the only thing I might do is paint around the edges of the eyes...I have no clue why there is a white spot, it is really another picture of eyes. The book is really getting full. I think there are about three more double pages left to do.

Monday Morning

This is the last two pages, this one has writing you can not see unless you click on it.

I am very partial to these colors right now for some reason.
After clicking on this image I see that the right hand page looks fuzzy, the page is not like that so it must have been the angle that I used in taking the picture.
Keeping this short and sweet today as I need to get it together and go shopping......not my favorite thing to do but as I remember growing up it was always wash day.
Do you have certain things you do on Mondays ?

Pages and what is it?

I do not have a digital program that I can work with so putting myself on this bench and behind this wall of stone was done the hard way with copies and cutting and layering. This picture was taken before I added the journaling (is that a word) anyway I included the scripture in Luke where it says, " I go to prepare a place for you, etc. " That's where I want to live, my mansion.

This is a picture I took in my yard this morning, these flowers were some more that came up on their own, I do not even know what they are called.

And this.....what is it? It must have been made by a spider, most unusual I thought. Has anyone seen one of these before?

The 50's

I had a lot of fun doing these pages....in 1950 I was seven years old. The two girls on the left page are Janet on the right and me on the left. It was our 5th grade school picture. It was 1956 and I was thirteen in the picture at the top of right had page.
My first husband had a ford like the one on the page and that is what I learned to drive in. He was a very good and patient teacher. I was just a teenager, sixteen when we got married. The best part of that relationship was the three beautiful children that we had.
So what were you doing in the 50's?
**************************************************************************
p.s. some words got added to the last post, the Gone With the Wind pages. My daughter Laura reminded me that I had not included Rhett's famous last line to Scarlet, also when she said, "oh Rhett, won't they be just pea green with envy?" Well fiddly de, I can't think of everything......

Gone With the Wind

If you know anything about me at all, you would have known it was just a matter of time till I got around to doing a "GONE WITH THE WIND " page for the altered book that I have been making. Of course you will see a few different faces in some of Scarlett's dresses.....the main star being Laura, who also shares a passion for this movie.
This was so much fun to do and I tried to show as much painted area as possible, using a dark color is not good to journal on. I had a lot of other favorite pictures but there just was no more room. Oh fiddly de ! I think I'm heading to the 50's next and some good ole ROCK & ROLL
oh well I'll think about that tomorrow.

Sunday's Saving Grace


His oath, his covenant, his blood,

support me in the raging flood.

When every earthly prop gives way,

This still is all my strength and stay.


If Jesus undertook to bring me to glory, and if the Father promised that he would give me

to the Son to be a part of the infinite reward of the travail of his soul; then, my soul, till God

himself shall be unfaithful, till Jesus shall cease to be the truth, thou art safe.

When David danced before the ark, he told Michal that election made him do so. Come, my soul, exult before the God of grace and leap for joy of heart.


A MERRY HEART DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE........


There is GREAT JOY in serving the Lord.


Do you have anything to rejoice and dance about?
