Back to Journaling

It's been a very, very stressful week at work.  Lots to do, lots to worry about.  I get home and am so exhausted I don't feel like doing anything other than reading and relaxing.  There are so many ideas and projects in my head, but all I've been doing is writing them down.  I plan on having a busy art filled weekend.

Here are a few recent pages:

Still Time

It's no secret that I want a baby, that my "clock is ticking".  I had to get it out on a journal page once again.  There is still time!  Multiple layers here... you can barely see some journaling I originally did and then covered up.  Lots of practice swirls and random scrapbook supplies, both old and brand new.  I get so much joy from using retro supplies I've hoarded for many years.  :)

Why?

Simon works at a hotel in downtown Toronto and is sometimes able to get me discarded international magazines.  These images were from a Vogue magazine I believe.  I just couldn't believe how skinny these images were.  I think it's so sad really.  You can read my journaling to see my rant.  ;)
As for process, multiple layers of paint with some Basic Grey paper on top.  In real life it's very bright, I love it.

I will have much more to share this weekend.   I hope you all had a great week~!

Much LOVE!
