Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.

The Three Question Personality Test

An example of the above? I set as a personal goal to comment on one class/ challenge crop gallery per day. Two comments per page. After the first 30 comments today I sat in front of the screen and wondered why on Earth am I doing this? I´m a firm believer in the "spread the love" thing but sometimes get sorely disappointed at not getting some loving myslef. I´m not talking about my family, I´m talking about the world in general.

*sigh* I´m certain I will be commenting again tomorrow, because that´s the way I am.

Art Everyday Month - Days #24-26

This is what I have been doing these past three days: 22 projects. Whew!

Friday to Sunday I participated at the UKScrappers cyber crop. I finished all 13 classes and 9 challenges.

Saturday was spent mostly at the Scrap Pad. It was the "Happy First Birthday" cyber crop.

How did I manage with both you ask? I used the Pad´s sketches to complete UKS´s challenges with the concept / materials asked for. I also completed a Pencil Line´s challenge along the way. That´s me, multitasking again, lol!

I´ll be uploading some projects a day from tomorrow. :)

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Yes to all of them! Link for K3, who told me my links for Blogthings don´t work: What are the keys to your heart?

Art Everyday Month - Days #15 -18

15 & 16 were spent stitching.

On day 17 I wanted something different so we tried edible art. Another example of the synchronicity mentioned at Kat´s paws blog. She was working with the concept of the ocean and brain. We, and I say we because my two little artists helped me, worked with the ocean too. We made blue jelly and put some jelly sharks in it. Unfortunately there is no graphic evidence of our experiment as it didn´t go as expected. (you may read that as "it went terribly wrong and never really got to jelly consistence ;) )

Where did the brain got into the equation? Well, they wanted to use their brain jelly shape. :D

I´m afraid day #18 has no piece to offer either. *blush*

Art Everyday Month Day # 14

Tuesdays are people day. I need to pick up my ds, my dd, my mom and a classmate from school. I run other "people" errands too.

Art Everyday Month Days # 13

Monday, the headless chicken routine ATC.

P.S: my blog has 200 entries!!!

Art Everyday Month Days # 11 & 12

A layout for Saturday. This time my own design (no sketch). Chatterbox Guest Room kit for papers, ribbons and corners.

Fil and kids back in 2000.



More cross stitch for Sunday. Got three leaves finished.

Art Everyday Month Days # 10

Another layout from Pencil Lines . This time sketch #5, created by Ali Edwards.

I took Kimmy´s idea to use it vertical as a 8 1/2x11 page.

My usual clean lines and scraps style. :D

Originally I was going to call it "Amor a primera vista" (Love at first sight) but noticed Frida was with her eyes closed! Then it is "Amor a primera siesta" (Love at first nap).

I´m happy to say the romance continues a year later. :)

Tango for the weekend

Listen to a tango, or a dozen ;)

Art Everyday Month Days # 8 & 9

We are going to Georgina´s birthday on Saturday, so I made her card based on Pencil Lines card sketch #1. All Chatterbox papers, sticker and flower from Villa kit.






We are going to see Erica at that party. I prepared a cd with all the pics dh and I took with our cameras at her 15th birthday party. {Some of them in the archives here, end of September} Here´s the decorated the cd case.

Art Everyday Month Days # 7

Progress made on my stitching plus a single page layout. :)
Page of dh taking our ds to school every day in his Subaru. Based on sketch #3 from Pencil Lines

I had a lovely surprise today. When I arrived at the school gates my mom was waiting for me as usual on Tuesdays but this time she wasn´t alone. She had got one of her sisters with her. My family album got some extra loving today. :wub: She´s like my mom, reading every page and commenting on pictures, anecdotes, papers, embellies, the lot. :D Luv them to bits.

Arty Kid

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique. You're probably a little less weird these days - but even more talented!

Who Were You In High School?

Art Everyday Month Days # 6

Different craft today. Here´s my copy of 500 charted Cross Stitch Designs, plus a scan of the border I chose plus the Aida (I hadn´t cross stitched in so long I had forgotten the name of the material! ) and the threads.

Art Everyday Month Days # 5

I spent the afternoon at my in laws working on this page, based on Haystack by Wendy (link to her blog two posts back or at the side bar).

She had a swirlie thingie on the left hand side that I didn´t have, so I recreated the look with ribbon. :) If you know the Chatterbox papers you´ll know the colours are brighter IRL. I miss my Picture It scanning software.

Art Everyday Month Days # 1-4

Days 1 to 4 were engaged in this triptic. They are the pages for Erica´s 15th birthday. Here this birthday used to be the one the girls wore their first long dress. Nowadays it is like a wedding party without the groom. ;)

It took a while to find something for the middle page. I finally found this at the haberdashers. It was white and unadorned so I used strong tea to change its colour and added some little jewels.

The third page is based on Sketch #4 from Pencil Lines .

Inspirational reading

I surfed the blogs last night. Oh, my! Did I surf! My eyes are square and crossed now. ;)

Some blogs made me want to run to my scrapbooking stuff and start something right away!

One of them was Wendy´s blog . She is a very articulated, informed, sweet mother of two lawyer. She makes the most delightful pages with lots of movement, textures and details plus fantastic portraits of her beautiful children. If you are going to see her art work have a bucket ready ´cause you are going to drooooooool! Super yums! :D

BTW, Wendy, watch this space as my take of your Haystack design will be on this blog soon. Love at first sight that was. And I literally stood up to gather stash for it.

Then from Small creations/ (vintage art at its finest) I somehow got to the blog of someone who was doing the AEM (Art every day Month) in November inspired by Kat´s paws

And there I go. :D
