By The Light of the Moon

     Hi everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope your weekend is going well. We're having some warm October weather after a couple of pretty cold weeks. And with the colorful foliage, it's just a lovely weekend. ❤

     I'm back today with another  journal page for Alison's Autumn Colors and Inspiration at Art Journal Journey. I am also linking up to GIllena's Sunday Smiles.


    This is another page from my autumn journal I made last month. You can see I used a lot of scraps of paper including this sky view paper on my page. I also used my sewing machine to stitch the edges of my page because I pulled the spiral apart and took out the pages to work on them. (Afterwards I put them back into the spiral binding.)

     I liked the steampunk cat. He doesn't have to be black  because this isn't a Halloween page, but he does have some cool kitty goggles. I think he lives with a mad scientist in the beautiful house behind him. 

     My autumn thoughts behind this  page were just how much shorter the days are; hence how much longer the nights are. With leaves still on the trees in my yard, I am needing to start turning on lights in some rooms by 2:30 in the afternoon. Once we lose the leaves I get a bit more afternoon sun, but the sun is so low right now the leaves block a lot of it.

     To finish off my page I also used a punch out set of leaves, some small black half craft-pearls, some black lace tape as well as a metallic paper moon. The quote is a printed piece of chipboard. 

     Keeping this post short. Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.

October weather here has become ridiculous. Yesterday it got up to 21 degrees C and we took our lunch to a local park and ate at a picnic table. It’s a little crazy for late October. All the best - David

I look forward to tomorrow when the heating gets repaired, my legs fell of, I guess (kidding, but it´s cold!)
Steampunk is always cool(in another way).
To warm days? Hugs, take care, buuuhhh (Halloween-buh - to a great, WARM Sunday)
