Pink Within Journal Covers

Happy Pink Saturday to you all and thanks as always for visiting me :)

I am still in that artful journaling mood (of course with a pink flair). I am loving playing with my oil pastels, gesso and magazine images.

These two images are the cover of my journal that I have been working in. The 1st is the outer part of the cover while the 2nd one is the inside part of it.

Again, I love all of the comments that I receive. I am so sorry that I have not had the chance to really visit with all of you. My goal this Pink Saturday is to do so. It is really getting that precious online time (which has been really sporadic recently) and while trying to stay warm downstairs (where our computer is) that does not retain the heat very well....brrrrr.

Plan on seeing you all next week for more pink!

Be Transformed in Pink :)

It has been a long couple of weeks....I have been worrying quite a bit, mostly over the crazy stuff at work. I decided to bring out my trusty journal and work with it.

I am one that has a really difficult time in 'digesting' worry...which I know is wrong to do on a constant basis. I was inspired to create these two pages after reading my new Art Journals magazine (Stampington and Co. publication).

I was also inspired by the Biblical verse of thinking about renewing your mind of unwanted thoughts and feelings:

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)

After your visit with me, go and stop by the other pink blogs at Beverly's place @ How Sweet the Sound (go and look at the current Saturday link).

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Pink weekend :)

Blessings to you!

The 3 Pink Saturdays of Christmas.....No. 3

OK....Christmas has come and gone for another year (the official day on the calender anyway).

Here is what my creativity brought to me....a fabulous pink journal that is all decked out for the holidays. I actually found this at a second hand store and I could not pass it up. I however have not had the time to really do anything with it...I think I will consider it my "after the holidays" project so it can help get me ready for next year.

I found some clippings (tho not all pink) from some of this years' holiday supplements and some cards that I have received. One ad that I really liked in particular was the Macy's 'Believe' (or Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus).

Here's to a grand pink holiday weekend and a wonderful 2009. In the midst of your celebrations and get togethers, please visit Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound and check out other pink blogs that are all decked out (remember to head over to the right sidebar for the 27th).

**One note from last Pink Saturday...so sorry that I am behind getting to your blogs, I will get there and make comments (I am normally not online a whole lot due to doing other things off-line). And those of you who do leave a comment, I truly appreciate reading your lovely notes :)

The 3 Pink Saturday's of Christmas....No. 2

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone! So hard to believe that Christmas is almost upon us....it is next week......

For this Pink Christmas Saturday......a artful card from my artful friend, Judy Delsano.

This lady creates so many wonderful Christmas cards for us (and others they send to) EVERY year :) What a true gift this lady has...I LOVE her work and I am really blessed to receive it in the mail.

To visit other Pink Saturday participants...go to Beverly's place @ How Sweet the Sound (remember to go to this Saturday's date link).

The 3 Pink Saturdays of Christmas....

OK, so I am a Saturday behind....

For this Pink Christmas Saturday Day...my creativity brought to me....a painted, pink, cookie plate (with lovely chalkboard paint).

My sister invited me to her in-laws day after Thanksgiving "tradition". Their family gets together at a place in Lancaster, Ohio called Art and Clay on Main.

Here, you get inspired by the endless selection of finished items. The 1st step is to pick a plain piece of pottery (this is the most difficult...the choice). 2nd, you go to town decorating it with all of the colors of paint and specialty glazes. 3rd, the painted piece dries completely and the staff place it in a kiln to complete the process. 4th, Your piece is then picked up to then enjoy it. Of course on little color note....after kiln firing, the color will have a different character and will be nice and shinny (I don't have my finished version yet).

It was a real joy seeing my nephews do their painted masterpieces....

Darek (the oldest), painting with Papa Greg.....

Mason (with his mama's hand to help out).....
Hope that you all are having a lovely Pink Saturday and a great holiday season.
