Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US, and like many people, I have a few things to do today to get ready. Unlike last year when we stayed home, this year we are going over to my sister-in-law's in Maine for the day. I'm excited for some socializing and good food. It is great that we can do that this year since everyone in my husband's family who is coming will be vaccinated, unlike last year when we were invited but decided to stay home because of course no one was vaccinated and we wanted to be safe. I hope by next Thanksgiving we won't have to even think about covid, but I am thankful that all my friends and loved ones are covid-free. And that includes all my on-line friends too.
My art journal page today is about cold clear nights like the last few have felt at my house.
I just noticed how streaky my grey background paint is. Augh! (But too late now to change that.)
I stenciled the numbers with some black paint. The little gold stars were stamped and then painted with a metallic paint pen.
I have a package of pre-cut cloth stars in my stash. I picked out 3 and glued them down. Then I used a silver paint pen to outline them
The moon with the quote in it came from a 6x6 sheet of printed paper. This adorable girl found a seat on a star, and she is pointing to the moon. I think she has a good life philosophy for someone so young.
Finally I added some tiny reflective plastic stars. You can see their pops of color if you look carefully on the background.
I am also linking to Art Every Day Month, day 24.
I'm keeping this post short today. Thanks for visiting. I hope your week is going well.

Love this and yes, she looks so happy! And the grey looks like the man "from" the moon.
Thanksgiving sure has some other meaning in these times...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this spread!!!! One of my favorites of yours! ((HUGS)) Helen
Have a wonderful celebration with your family in Maine!
What an absolutely fabulous page for my theme - I do so love clear starry nights - I always look out of my bedroom window before I go to bed. The other night the moon was shining on the floor by my bed when I put the light out. This is the perfect starry night as it has that cute girl swinging on one of the stars. Thank you so much Erika. Enjoy your family Thanksgiving! Hugs, Chrisx
Happy Thanksgiving.
What about a bit of sun, too...LOL. Wonderful scrap page.
Here in Europe and our country too corona is spreading again and more stestricties were taken back. What a shame when Christmas is coming.
Be well and happy upcoming weekend ✨ 🙂
A beautiful page and quote Erika!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family tomorrow.

I could use this one today. Outdoros I see neither stars of the moon. It is cloudy. :(
Fabulous journal page, really like a frosty night! Have a fun Thanksgiving, take care! Have a great day! Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful page. It's wonderful being able to see the stars on a clear night. I just wish it wasn't so cold and the cold weather hasn't even started. Have a Happy Thanksgiving at your in-laws. Safe travels.
Love this one Erika, I like the streaks in the background, I thought they were meant to be that way as they look great. Also love the fabric stars and that sweet little girl pointing to the moon. I actually like the moon, I thought it was a piece of jewellery or something. Enjoy your thanksgiving tomorrow! Happy AEDM! Elle/EOTC xx
This is a stunning entry, Erika. You have created a real beauty. I'm always amazed at what the camera sees that my eyes didn't or ignored. This is a real star. Have a great time in Maine tomorrow with your family, dear. Stay safe on the road, please.
This is such a beautiful page Erika! Happy Thanksgiving. Have a great day!

A fabulous page Erika, it is always special to be able to see the stars at night, one of the plusses to live in the countryside and not in a town where the street lights alter the night sky.
Have a good celebration with your family and stay safe.

Happy Thanksgiving, Erika. Have a wonderful day.
What an absolutely delightful page Erika. I love everything about it. It certainly is suggesting cold nights that we have been experiencing of late - lots of frost on the ground this morning.
Lovely to be meeting up with family again and all of you having been covid free and being vaccinated so not to have to worry as much.
Take care, enjoy and be safe
Hugs, Neet xx
Just having a little catch up and this is a lovely page with a wonderful quote. Love those fabric stars.
Hope you had a lovely celebrations with your family.

I like your cold, clear night inspired piece. It is good we're seeing some improvement in the Covid situation, isn't it! Now if only Omicron doesn't set us back...
