Hello Friday

     Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's been a mix of very cold days and just plain cold days at my house. And it seems most days we've been having wind. Of course they say next week we're in for some bitter cold days. What a month January has been so far. No January thaw yet. 😐

    It's time for Nicole's Friday Face Off and also for Gillena's Friday Lunch Break. I've still been cleaning out my art space so I haven't had much art time, but with all the cold, it's been a good time to do it. I am happy to be just about  done with a successful clean, reorganize and purge.👍 Of course, I should move onto my clothes closet which still has some work clothes in it (and I retired 4+ years ago) and even my books could use a good going through. 

   For faces today I once again have some pages from a holiday journal I made and finished right before New Years. Sorry to be sharing Christmas in mid-January, but hopefully by next week I'll have something new to share. And I really like this Christmas journal that  I made. 

    There's lots of faces today, as well as some dots so I'll also be joining Mia's Dots challenge at Art Journal Journey.





    To make these pages I used various papers, rubber stamps, water color paints, inks, markers, die cuts, TH people, stickers, ribbon, lace, washi tape, some Studio Light punch outs as well as some 49 and Market punch outs. 

     That's all for me today. Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead.

That December page is really beautiful and the little girl sitting on the wreath is just perfect.

Your holiday journal pages are really lovely, Erika. I especially love the face. Is that a family member? Keep cozy this weekend!

Erika, to answer your question on whether the museum tried to buy the ruby red shoes, they did and bid in the auction. The museum solicited donations to boost the amount raised by the city of Grand Rapids at its annual Judy Garland festival. Minnesota lawmakers had also set aside $100,000, but not enough!

So many closets to clean! I think it took me decades to finally give up my work wardrobe. By that time I wouldn’t have worn any of it for anything except maybe a Halloween costume. Great to hear that you are accomplishing all that.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
