Happy Weekend to You

     Hi everyone. Happy weekend to you. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

     Let me start today's post with a page in my summer journal for Chris' Hot August (Days and Nights) challenge at Art Journal Journey. It's not the most complicated page but for something so simple it has some various media, so I am also linking up to Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge. I'm also linking up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

    I covered the background paper with some ancient printed paper from back in my scrapbooking days. I rubbed a bit of green ink (TH)  very lightly over the page, especially the edges. I then used a darker pink ink (Versafine Clair) and an Adirondack chair image (?? Not sure who made that stamp). I added a 49 and Market acetate images, and also some cloth sticker clouds from Studio Calico. And finally I stamped the quotes (once again I'm not sure who made these). And that's all there is to that. 😏

   We've been having some lovely weather which was perfect for the niece's wedding yesterday. More about that in some other post.  However, we didn't get to go boating this weekend because of Hurricane Erin churning up the coast, much to my husband's and even my disappointment.  However, I have some other photos from a couple of weeks ago that I thought I'd end this post with. At least looking at photos  I'll get my water time this way. 😀

I guess it wasn't a big kayaking day

   If you wonder why there is a British flag on this pole. That's because it's flying outside of the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion where the first governors of this still then colony lived. The house (well most of the house)  in the photo below the flags. It's now a state park.

Here's a few seabirds.

Some lobster boats and a ton of lobster traps at one of the city docks

And finally, a bit of yoga on a paddle board.

Have a super rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
