Dates

 Hi everyone. Happy Thursday to you.

I thought today I would share  another page for my calendar challenge at Art Journal Journey

My page today is less finished than most of my pages, but I still like it. I began by gluing down some old calendar pieces I had in my stash. Then I sprayed my page with some blue and green liquid inks.

Going through some scraps, I found this TH ephemera piece of old ad with the March 30-April 3 dates on it. I don't know what Kern is (or where it is), but since it was printed with some dates on it, I thought I would use it.  I am sure someplace someone was adding those dates to their calendar.  

I also found the old denim  punch out  in my stash and put that on my page also. After that I took a sheet of paper with lots of numbers on it and cut out some numbers. To make the page more interesting, I stamped and fussy cut the crow image.

And just a reminder, you don't need to use an actual calendar on your page.  I just happened to have these calendar pages laying around since 2003. 

I really need to get back to making some art. I've been doing some art space cleaning this first week of the new year. I thought it would be a good way to get myself ready for art making in the whole of 2024. Plus Santa got me a new storage cabinet for Christmas. We finally got it moved into the spare bedroom where I work before the hubby got sick, but Santa found it on sale back in November. It's been sitting in our garage for weeks, and I am happy to have it to use. 😏

Now I'm just trying to decide what to put in each drawer.  I think I have it the way I want it, and then a better idea comes along. I've filled many of the drawers, emptied or rearranged some  of them, and  then put something else in them. I'll get everything squared away sooner rather than later, but mainly, I want to get it so this corner will be more useful than it was before.

And before anyone asks, the ink pad holders on the left side of the photo are actually old cassette tape holders. I noticed cassette tapes and many ink pads were about the same size, so when a fellow teacher was tossing these old cassette holders out (years ago), I nabbed them. And the shelf on the wall behind the cabinet is actually an old mailbox unit from the University of New Hampshire. I found it one day years ago while in a local antique shop, and those who know me know I LOVE old mailboxes and other cubby type units. The hubby gave me this for my birthday that year, and it is perfect for holding all my small stamps. (And yes, I have a lot of them. 😏)

That's enough for today. Have a great day!
