New journal page!

So here's a new page in my journal. I haven't had much time lately to do anything!! Meagan has a cheer competition this weekend so I've been busy making things for the girls and I'm going to make some rice krispie treats for that as well.
   But I started off with some acrylic paint I really just smeared on there with a brush. I then used some white on an old i-tunes card and drug it across the pages here and there. I used a new stamp at the bottom of the page. I then glued on the triangles and the girl and her hat and tickets and the hand, oh and the bird. I used some watercolor pencils around the edges and used lots of water on my brush and let it run down the page. I doodled on the sleeve and shaded a bit with a charcoal pencil. I used a paint pen for the letters and a white gel pen here and there for the dots.
    I hope you like her! I'll work on the next page after Saturday. CHEER CHEER CHEER!!!

Christmas and birthday's oh my!

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We have been busy here as well. First it was our anniversary, 17 years! Then it was this young ladies 16th birthday! And yes she is sweet!!

 Then it was this young mans 12th birthday! Teenage years are upon us with him!!

Then I got an early present that I wanted to post about and just didn't have time to do it! I got published! I was so excited to get this in the mail! I was not expecting it at all!

 I sent in a few ATC's and didn't hear back till I got this in the mail!

Yes I have been showing my family and friends. My family thinks I'm silly but I don't care!! I think this is gonna be a great year already!!

Just a little of everything today!

So clearly my kitties are both presents this year!

 I found this awesome horse at a junk sale for only $1. He's chippy and old and has two holes on the bottom. I have no clue what he was used for but I like him!

 Oh and he's metal and very heavy.

 My anniversary flowers! Yesterday was out 17th year together!! It really doesn't seem like it's been that long ago. We've know each other since highschool  but didn't get married till he got out of the Marines,oohraa!, and I moved back from Florida.

 We just started dating and I couldn't get rid of him! lol!

 He's the best husband and dad and I'm happy and couldn't ask for a better life! Maybe the only thing I could ask for is some toilet paper in the bathroom at 3am when I gotta potty!

Here a couple of images today to share. I really should be cleaning, but really, who wants to do that? I thought these two were sweet. Brother and sister I suppose. Love the big bow in her hair!! Is anyone else using this new Blogger? I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Well I'm off to clean, yee haa!

It's a sharing day!

Hey everyone! Here is a few things I wanted to share with you today! The first is a receipt from a treasurer's office in Iowa. Love the handwriting on this one as well as the next one.

 It is a , well I don't know! A check? A receipt? I don't know but I like it! It's from 1926 and the one above is from 1876.

 These next two I don't have a clue as to who they are but I like them. I love the quilt background on the first one.

 And this one looks as if he was using props, not a real gun slinger but wanted to look like one! I thought he was pretty neat. I bought him at an estate sale here in town last summer. So that's it for today hope you all have a use for them! Happy Holidays!!
