Hi everyone. Happy middle of the week to you. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US, and today I get to be a domestic goddess getting some food ready. However I'm not sure we'll be celebrating tomorrow since it sounds like we could get some snow, ice, rain and overall bad weather. We're supposed to go to my sister-in-law's home in Maine, but if the driving looks too sketchy, I think we'll be doing that on Friday instead. We'll have to see what the storm turns out to be and whether everyone can make it Friday or not. I'm going to do my baking today, so hopefully the forecast is wrong or Friday works for everyone.
This is a short post. I just wanted to share another ocean themed page for Wendy's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
I couldn't miss making a mermaid themed page for an ocean challenge. ❤
I made a background with 3 shades of blue watercolor paint. I then used some Art by Marlene fun punch outs for the mermaids and the fish. I attached the images, and then used some acrylic paint to create the seaweed bottom. I highlighted some of the seaweed fronds with some green Stabilo pencil.
I finished by giving one of the mermaids a crown and adding bubbles around the fish. Then I stamped the quote and added a bit of glitter glue to the mermaids tails.
That's all for me. An apple pie, pumpkin quiche and chocolate bread pudding are waiting to get made. Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Cute mermaids - I met some "real" ones in Perth at Fringe World! They looked wonderful!
Fingers and toes crossed you can meet your family for Thanksgiving, hugs!
I am not a fan of mermaids....but this looks too cute not to love!
Your mermaids are adorable, dear Erika!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is good for Thanksgiving and that you can have a great celebration!
I hope you have a wonderful time, Traude
This is amazing art. The mermaid's are fabulous.
The good thing about baking is that it will hold up. I hope the weather doesn't disappoint. Happy Thanksgiving, Erika!
