What Mama Wants....

Mama Gets....and I got it GOOD!!!!!!

For as long as I can remember, I have been wanting and needing a getaway....and thats exactly what I got. My kids went away this week to camp...my son to Camp Oak Hill, and my daughter to Camp Granny's (my mom & dads)!! Which left me home alone with my studio and art supplies! Life couldn't get any better than that right! I of course got sick and the house was way too quiet. My husband worked constantly, but all in all, it was a good week! I didn't get as much art done as I would have liked, but I got the quiet time that I needed, and my son returned home revived and refreshed. A good time was had by all!!

So, from the studio, I started a new journal...or at least decorated the cover of one that I was working in...

and the inside page....

I did a demo at Jerry's last week on watercolor crayons, pencils, and pastels, and here are a few of the backgrounds that I started....I will get busy finishing these up before I head out to pick up my daughter...

And I even got out of the house and took a cardmaking class at Archivers using those Glimmer Mists and Distress Inks....Good Golly Miss Molly....that started a wildfire...

So here is some play in my journal with a stencil that I have....tons of fun!!!

I have a few more days of play until I pick up my daughter on Sunday....so, I'm off this morning to the flea market...then our first tournament game...YAY more baseball...ugh...then scrapbooking tonight....

Tomorrow I am heading to Jerrys for a demo with Phil Garrett with Golden Paints....I will use every ounce of this time that I have been given!!!!!!!

Until next time,

Ophelia
