Art Journal Every Day - 2nd journal spread

I'm still using the 6" x 6" handmade book from a great Etsy artist, Lori Vliegen. I also used Lori's rubber stamp for the face on this spread.

I used a variety of Sakura pens plus Pitt Sepia Artists pens and Pentel markers.

Christmas 2011 with family

Mom did extremely well on Christmas. She and I had lunch at Brighton Gardens. Troy picked us up at 1pm and took us to his house so we could watch the children open gifts. I got a few wonderful photos and some great Emma kisses.

I also received two dolls that I will photography later. My daughter-in-law has been collecting dolls for years and has decided that her mother-in-law is still young enough to enjoy them. And Troy parted with some of Mom's Santas of the World to add to my small collection of Christmas decorations.

Handmade Serenity Prayer Book

My BFF and I are creating Serenity Prayer Books for gifts. I got one done before Christmas and will make my other four this week and give as New Year's gifts.

We learned the technique in one of the KC Willis workshops. She gives classes all over the country and she has DVD's for sale. Check her out. She's also on Facebook.

Weight Watchers - again - at 139.5 lbs

I joined Weight Watchers again on 12/26/11. In January, 2011, I joined WW with my weight at 156 lbs. I am currently at 139.5 lbs. My doctors want me to lose weight and excercise.

I'm pleased that I've reduced my size. There are other photos that I took at the beginning of my WW program but I'm not willing to share them. I visit the cardiologist on Jan. 3, 2012.
