Thanks so much to everyone for the wonderful comments on the dining room re do! I'm really happy with the way it turned out. One of these fine days I'll look up what the wall color is...I've had lots of you ask....I actually purchased that paint from the OOPS bin at Home Depot (I KNOW!) for $5.00.
Switching gears a little here....while I'm not elbow deep in paint anymore, I'm still trying to be creative everyday.....I signed up for "A Journal Of Interest E-zine". A few times a week we get prompts and instructions on how to complete a new page in our art journals.
Here's a few of my pages so far.
I got the Victorian Game Card images from Mary at green paper they are beautiful and I'm finding so many ways to use them! Thanks Mary!
On this page we were to make a statement.....or a quote....this says
"To live a creative life, we must loose the fear of being wrong"
This page was about giving yourself permission to use certain materials.... to take the time every day to create........
The little bits and pieces are fun to add! I got this from Karen, The Graphics Fairy!
When I added my name to the inside cover, I wanted to be sure and keep Agnes' name displayed.....she must have been a previous owner of this old music book....from 1904. Agnes and I can share the book!
Have a creative weekend!
Gorgeous pages Robin! I love hopping around and seeing the beautiful journals that people are making right now. I may have to start one, one of these days. I love how you included "Agnes" in your journal, I'm sure she is quite pleased to be sharing it with you!!
Also, thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog last night, that was one of the nicest ones I've every received. It really made my morning!

Hi Robin, I was over at Lori's and she was showing all the wonderful things she sent to you for the swap. Just gorgeous, you lucky girl. Then I was so happy to have come over here to see your lovely journal pages. You are such an artist. Your dining room is a dream and I love the color on the walls, but everything in that room is just so fine.
Smiles,
June

Hi Robin,
I always enjoy getting a glimpse of your creativity. Your dining room project turned out gorgeous and I agree with the others that the paint color on the walls is so pretty.
I wanted to thank you for your recent visits and kind comments and good thoughts for my mom and sister. I really appreciate it. I hope your mom is currently happy and doing well.
Hugs,
Kim
