Look Back No. 1

Happy Friday/ weekend everyone. The year is quickly winding down, isn't it? My vacation is going WAY too fast also, but with this bitter cold, it doesn't motivate you to really want to do much where you have to leave the house.

That's OK. I have become a TV addict and I am doing some small cleaning projects (really small, like vacuuming the floor, not even cleaning out a closet or picking up the studio space). I am reading by the woodstove and making a little art. That makes me happy. I even had a fun art day with a friend yesterday, which I will show you as soon as I get the photos off my phone. 

Last night while watching TV  I went through my whole year of blog posts and picked out some of my favorite pieces of art. There are some that now I look at and go eek! What did I make? But they can be reworked in the future if I ever get so inclined. 

 Thought I will share some of those favorite pieces with you today. They are in no special order.

Are you ready?  It's a long post.

 I really love these 2 pages with our dogs.  I didn't know I could be so philosophical.  :)

And also from last January, these 2 pages.

I love the background and how I managed to get nice depth to my numbers.

 And my first page when I hosted Art Journal Journey last year.

And next are pages from my travel journal that I made after going to Taos, New Mexico to visit friends last February. I love the colors and effects and how it really feels (to me) like New Mexico.I couldn't pick out a single page to show you, so I got a bit carried away here.

 I even like how my cover came out.

And my favorite flower journal pages.

And veggies that inspired some new hand painted kitchen curtains.

And lastly for today, these 3 journal pages that make me feel warm since it is very cold as I write this.

I hope you weren't too bored looking back at some of my favorites. I have another post of look backs which I will save for another day.

Hope you are having (or had) a great day. And thanks for much for visiting.
