Friday Face Off

 Hi everyone. Happy Friday to you. 

I'm here today with a spread from a recent junk journal I made. It's made from a recycled journal page, scrap paper  and recycled magazine and book pieces.  I am linking up to Bleubeard's And Elizabeth's Recycle, Reuse and Repurpose challenge at Art Journal Journey. 

 It also has faces on it so I am linking up to Nicole's Friday Face Off. And since it is also Friday so I'll be joining Gillena for her  Friday Lunch Break.

I had an old journal page that I didn't care for, so I cut it apart. You can see a lot of that page on the left side of the spread and also a bit on the right. ( I loved the background but didn't like what l did with it. Now I can just use the parts I like. 😀)  I also used some bits from an old Japanese book, as well as some scraps of polka dot paper. The rest of the page is made with  some faces, the heart flower vase and the quote that all came out of an old magazine. 

I noticed  on the heart vase there were a few small white flowers with yellow centers. I had  some similar small foam confetti flowers  so I decided to add those to my ladies hair or outfits.(although not all of the ones I added had yellow centers).

I've had a "busy" week watching the snow melt out in my backyard. It's melting quickly too. Hurrah for that. I can't wait for things to start greening up though. I'm more than ready for all the snow to be gone for good, which it is not quite yet, but almost.

But  in a spot where it is gone,  my alliums are coming up.❤  Can you tell these are right under where one of my birdfeeders spend the winter?

Last weekend we took a drive to my mother-in-law's home; her house is a couple of towns north of us. I took a walk, even though there were still a couple of muddy spots on her road. I like walking the dogs there at this time of year because no one is around, and I can let them run off leash. (They are trained to walk off leash and come back when called.)

If you look closely in this next photo you can see the Eastern phoebe sitting on the fence post. It's not a good photo, but it's all I could do with my phone.  Every time I stepped closer the bird flew to the next fence post. The summer birds are coming back so it has to be spring, right? This year spring is reminding me  more of the way springs used to be rather than how they've been the last few years.

And here's my mother-in-law's driveway. You can't drive into the house yet, but then, since no one is staying there, the driveway hasn't been plowed all winter.

Keep thinking spring so this snow finishes melting. Smile. 

That's all for me. Have a great start to your weekend.
