Sunday for Moving All the Things



This has been a long weekend. Starting with the ritual sacrifice of a 22lb turkey followed by pie and ending with loads and loads of laundry in preparation for the week starting at 5am tomorrow morning. In the middle of all this we rearranged the living room and the bedroom. Love to move things around to see if a different set up will work better.
Had to make a foray into the city on the Evil Day of Shopping but managed to avoid all corporate centers of greed. Accidentally managed to hit a serious sale at a craft store and got the punch I had been looking for as well as a couple of new Sakura Micron pens for less than half what I had been willing to spend.
2 1/4 inch square punch. Yay!
Some from last holiday season and
some from this one
While waiting for the bird to cook and other periods of quiet I added a couple of my Manila tags to my pocket art journal and they worked wonderfully.
 

While digging through storage a bit I ran across a full package of rectangular coasters like you would find in a bar. I grabbed a few and my recently acquired bottle of gesso and went to town. I believe these will become some lovely book covers that may end up as holiday gifts. I may end up making quite a few if they turn out as well as I hope.
Not going to advertise beer, not even fairly good beer.




                                                                          
Post Gesso, Pre-Artifying.

There were adventures had, Art was made, bargains found and Family Time (TM) was had. I enjoyed the Bird Day meal with family and then I enjoyed the meal the day after with one of my favorite treats, Dolmas. I will leave you with a few more doodles and my wishes for you all. Peace, Joy and love in all your lives.
