Hi there! It's been a busy weekend for my family! How about yours? Meredith had horse riding lessons early Saturday morning and while she rides, Tina and I get on average a 15-20 mile bike ride in. While I was with Meri, Scott was with Connor who had his first High School Track and Field Event. Here's a photo of Connor, (the one with the fro :), running the 4 x 100m relay:
and here's another of Connor while in action taking off the starting block:
The Track and Field event started at 10:00 am and lasted until to 7:00 pm. Meri and I met up with the boys at the event in the afternoon. It was a boat load of fun and excitement :)
It's time for week two of the
CR84FN49 Color Challenge and we will be playing with the colors shown below:
I was inspired to pull out my art journal and make a She Art page:
I gave this girl an up do:
On this page, I had lots of fun doodling. I dug into my stash of stamps and pulled out two Stampin' Up stamp sets: Doodle This & Doodle That. I purchased the stamps probably ten years ago ~ one which never even kissed an ink pad! YIKES! I am so thankful I hung on to them because surely, I will ink them up again. I went a little wild with the white puffy paint:
Thanks so much for visiting!

Oh my goodness I just had to laugh when you said Conner was the one with the fro!There back in style, my youngest son had one for years and I am talking 10 years ago...he would be back in style, but keeps his shaved for his job now.

I love what you've done Mona. Beautiful work and this is one of the ways I like to teach my journal classes. I like them to use different mediums in their journals and sometimes the weekly assignment is done on xtra large cardstock, approximately 18 x 18. It seems to work really well.
Super artistic! I love the little pom poms around her hair. :)
Totally gorgeous, Mona! I'm blown away by all the lovely doodles and texture! Love seeing the photos of Connor too! TFS!
Inspiring work and incredibly beautiful!!! Love the mix of colors and the wonderful background! So much interest throughout! TFS!

I'm a fan of yellow so I'm lovin' the colors you chose for your art page. Naturally I'm going to have to take this class too! :D The She Art girls are so much fun and the possibilities are endless. Your girl has such a softness about her and I love the puffy white dots everywhere, perfection!
GORGEOUS journal page!!! Do many beautiful details!!! Your creativity just blows me away!
I love to look at photos. Sharing bits and pieces of your life is always fun and I love to read the stories that go along with them. And this ART page. Great to see you lost yourself in puffy paint. Dont; worry. It's not too much and looks fabulous. And isn;t it wonderful to finally have a purpose for these - amazing - stamps!
I love this; another piece of art :)
I laways love to look at photos. Sharing bits and piece sof your daily life is always lovely to see. And the stories that go along are always fun to read.

Oh wow! Should I stop drooling on your art work?
While I am at it, I wanted to ask, do you mind me copying your work in one way or another, because I would love to try this too.:)
She is so gorgeous, Mona! So many gorgeous details! Love those doodle stamps and so glad that you didn't get rid of them! Sorry to see that you didn't do a video tutorial on this one. I know those are probably a PITA but we love them! Thanks, also, for sharing the photos of Connor! Sounds like you guys had lots of fun! Thanks!
EEK, love the updo look for this girlie! Super sweet with the springy scene and her little arms folded behind her back. Love all the little pearly accents!
