Still no computer, but some art

I’ve been doing a lot of art the past few days. It keeps me from fretting about the computer, you know? 
So I’ve been working on quite a few journal pages, taking my time with them, creating lots of fun backgrounds in-between. I was able to get the computer to recognize my card reader for a [...]

Stranded, but with art..

I’m stranded out in no-computer land, again. On Christmas Eve day, my computer suddenly decided it would no longer work. It won’t turn on. Yes, you’re correct if you’ve been reading this blog and thought I had just gotten my computer back again. Yep. I did. But clearly, they did not fix it. There is a [...]

I’m here and so is my laptop!

I’m pleased to say that I got my lovely laptop back! UPS delivered it, so I brought it to the Geek Squad, where they tried to re-install the hard drive. It turns out that the hard drive is dead. So they had to load a replacement hard drive and then all the drivers. (Because I [...]

Manic Monday’s Winners

Congratulations to BlueJude and KathyC! Please send me your snail addresses so I can put your prizes in the mail!
The next Manic Monday will be January 8th! Tell all your friends!

It’s another Manic Monday!

My computer is still at the Geek Squad, but I am told it’s due home this week (YAY!). Since I missed last week’s Manic Monday due to my computer still being out , I thought that this week I’d really make Manic Monday special! I’m giving away two prizes this week! Two sets of four colors [...]

Catching up & Hanukkah Greetings

So, yes, it’s been a long and quiet week here in the land of ArtsyFran! I spent most of the week lamenting the lack of my computer and the access to my photos and other “stuff”! But I’m trying to get some things done while I’m dealing with this lack of computer. And, strangely, it [...]

It’s Monday already

And at this moment, I am on my way out the door. Without the lovely scanner software installed, getting Manic Monday out to you is not possible. :(  I’m going to have to skip this week, but I promise that next week, it will be worth it!
This weekend I became the proud owner of a [...]

A quick update

No pictures to share today, sorry! I am on my husband’s computer, as mine is quite ill. They have to replace the lcd and the motherboard! Good thing it’s still under warranty!
Yesterday, after taking my laptop to Best Buy (LOVE the Geek Squad!), I was near an antique mall I’ve wanted to go to for [...]

Relaxing day

Today I decided to put aside the paints and the gel medium and pens in favor of beading. I have a project I’ve wanted to finish since Art Unraveled for a friend, and I thought that with Angie coming over, it would be a good day to do it and to get it in the [...]

The Finished Page - “She Dreams in Color”

Art journaling is interesting… Some pages will sit here for months before I finish them, but this one came to me. It needed to be finished. Once I decided it didn’t need words, just a face to describe the feelings, “She Dreams in Color” was easy to finish. I’m really pleased with this one. I [...]
