Thursday Post

 Hi everyone. 

Hope your week is going well. We are in the snow this morning. The wind is howling a bit, and snow is stuck to window screens. Luckily, it is the light and fluffy kind of snow compared to the last storm that was wet and heavy!

There is so much snow stuck to my kitchen window screen that it looks like we have 7feet/ over 2 meters out there.

But I'd say we are close to a foot (30 cm). Hard to say as it's blowing. Wonder what we'll end up with once this winds down as it is still snowing heavily. 

I feel bad for the birds in this weather. This storm is suppose to wind down mid-day so I'll go out and clear out the feeders for them then.

I know some of you have also been dumped on, probably more than I'll get here. Stay safe is you are in the storm zone.

The hubby is working from home today. The good thing about all these work from home pandemic things is he can do that easily.  He's in a meeting about his big project right now , and it is interesting to hear  what he does.

I thought today I would share some pages from the small and narrow holiday journal I am making. I don't make a page a day, and most pages are traditional collaged or stamped art, with either a seasonal theme or something about our strange times. I add in a page here and there about what's going on in my life. I usually sit down a couple of times a week and make several pages at once. I started this small journal  at Thanksgiving and will finish it with the start of the new year.

Here's some of my pages for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Did you notice the Covid buttons in the top 2 pages? I  made an early morning trip to Target in early November (my only once since back in February) to get a few  needed things. I was so excited to actually shop there that I went up and down all  the aisles. In the dollar aisle I found some sets of these great Covid button pins, and I thought these would be super for this journal (which I was planning on making even then). I ended up getting one set of 4, and you can see a few of them today in my post. 

Here are some pages from early December. 

Whoops on this snowman page. When wiping off the tape I wiped off the paper just a bit too much!

The star might look like a sticker, but I die cut them out of the page and back it up with some plaid paper.

After some stamping I cut Mr. Owl out of a collage sheet and stamped my quote on acetate. 

Another Covid page.

And my final page is paint, tissue paper and some paper images.

If you are wondering about binding these pages, I will do that in January once I am finished with my mini-journal.

Hope you enjoyed the views. And hope your day is brighter than it is here.
