Goodbye October!

Posted on | October 31, 2006 | 8 Comments


I can’t say that I’m sorry that October is finally ending. I love November. The Phoenix weather is finally cool enough that we can enjoy being outside and I can wear jeans again! It’s nice enough out that I can actually cook and not worry about the house getting too warm from the darn oven, and I can go out for a walk in our neighborhood without getting up right after dawn to beat the heat!
Today I had lunch with my friends, Chia and Chris as a belated Birthday celebration. We had a lovely time. Our time always flies when we get together.

I did some work in journal 23 of Serendipity’s round robin journal project. This is Caron D’Ache and magazine pages so far. I’ve been adding more to it this afternoon, but it needs to dry before I can scan it again. It’s off to a neat start, I think. I can do as many pages in it as I wish, so long as I get it in the mail by the end of 15 days.

I’m *really* cleaning off my desk now. I can actually *see* desk, in fact! So we’re on the right track! LOL

    I have the Shiva Paintsticks in the Iridesdcent colors. They were on sale at Jerry’s Artarama when I ordered some other stuff. They’re different from oil pastels in that they are much softer and easier to spread. I really like the texture of them. Oil Pastels also sometimes make me sneeze. These don’t. They are so creamy that they move easily and blend well, too.

    And, well, Debbie, I think it’s called “CRS”! LOL

    Nancy, Good luck with the Mission Organization. If you need some ideas, my flickr set on “Organization”. :)

    Great pieces, love the one with the dog. I’m with you, I’m glad October is done but the end of the year feels like it’s coming too fast!

    I updated my blog so that all the photos open up to larger images, so I hope that helps! :)

    I think my friend will enjoy the one with the dog. It goes out in today’s mail.

    Thanks for your comments. Now I am off to make some art!
