Blooming

 Hi everyone. 

It's a bit chilly this morning (will we ever get some consistent spring weather?) but can you see the leaf buds are starting to open up.

And yesterday I had some exciting news. My mother is off of oxygen at least for now. I'm not sure she is covid freeyet, but she is definitely feeling better right now. I got to Facetime with her yesterday and she was looking good and sounding good too.  And making some jokes too.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed this improvement continues and there's no surprises where she suddenly slips backward.

So here's a page for Mia's flower challenge at Art Journal Journey.

My page began with a stamp from a set I have been drooling over online. I finally ordered the AAL & Create set and used one of the images which I stamped on this journal page. I then painted the page with some yellow watered down acrylic paint. After that dried, I sprayed some green and white Dina Wakely spray paint and added a scrap of printed tissue  paper sitting on my work table. Then I restamped the flower on some white paper and cut it out. I added it over the image I first stamped.

Then I added some little plastic beads to the center. I also used a tag off the inside of a shirt, as well as some striped paper tape. I finished the page by stamping the quote, adding the chipboard beetle and some label tape.

I've got a busy day today, online school, my allergy shot and one final trip to school to collect the last of my things out of my classroom. So I guess I will keep this post short.

Thanks for visiting!
