“Life’s so short, why live only one?” GOALS: My goal this month was simply; to complete the month.  Making a commitment to work on something religiously for 30 days is a tough commitment.  This is my third year participating.  The first year I did everything wrong.  That was back in 2010.  I had just readContinue reading “International Fake Journal Month – Wrap up”

I could have ” danced all night!”  Today was awesome!  I am writing this as we drive up to Orlando.  Today was a day to remember.  The day started with a real humdinger of a thunderstorm.  I had class until 11.  I ran home, showered, and off I went to the salon.Continue reading “IFJM Day 29 – Prom Night”

Take me out the the ball game…. April 28…today, in softball, I hit an in-the-park homer.  I was almost to stunned to move!  We had two people on base, and the count was 2-1, the ball coming in was too good not to hit.   So I cranked it and sent it flying to theContinue reading “IFJM DAY 28”

I purchased some Noodler’s Bulletproof Ink and I have been using it all month.  I love it except for the fact that it doesn’t dry quickly on the Fabriano hot press paper so those smudges you are seeing are my hand wiping across the damp ink as I write.  I can do the sketch partContinue reading “IFJM Day 25”

April 23,  softball game this morning.  We had to travel 45 minutes to get to the other high school butContinue reading “IFJM Day 23”
