Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday. It's my last Wednesday working at the boat ramp. I just have to be there next Monday morning and then my season is done. Wow! It was just late May and I was starting this summer job. I will admit I am always gung-ho to come spring, and by now, I am ready to have some time back. It's not like I'll be sitting around though. I actually think I sat around more at the job. Hee-hee!
Since the month is winding down I have some pages left to share for Chris' Hot August (Nights and Days) challenge over at Art Journal Journey. Here's the first one, and I'll be sharing more over the next couple of days.
This page was actually quite simple to make. I used a maple leaf stencil and some lighter green paint to make the background. Then I added the sun sticker and stamped a few quotes. I like it though, and even though there isn't much to it, it does feel like a summer day to me.
I'm keeping today's post quite short as I'm not only off to work, but this afternoon I have a Not-Back-to-School get together with some friends and some former co-workers who I don't see all that often. It should be a fun time.

I wish I could say our August here is HOT..but it's cool since mid. July...the page is absolutely lovely though.
Are you sad the job is "done"? Hot... yes. Not outside ;-)
To meeting up - big hugs on that! Have FUN!
...as they say, "time flies!"
lovely page
A lovely Summery page on another not beach day here in the Weirs. Have fun at your lunch
Our August is/was cold, windy and wet. I do love this art piece.
I like you used a green background instead of the usual summer colors of yellow and orange. I am sure you will be even busier after your last day at work.

You did a great job with the stencil, and I really like it. Your journal page is so imaginative!
Time flies by faster than you think with all the work at the lake, so it was okay to do it.
I hope you have a nice rest of your week! Hugs Elke
Sometimes simple is best and this is a gorgeous page Erika. I love the stencilled leaves and I always love these suns that you use. Reminiscent of your days by the lake this is, lovely.
Hugs, Neet xx
Love this, very different to your usual style. Have a lovely September when is gets here. hugs Wendy xx
A Not-back-to-school celebration sounds quite wonderful. Enjoy! Raise a toast to all those who still labour on and permit yourselves a gloat or two! All the best - David
