Just wanted to let people know that I have started a weekly challenge on the JFJ blog. Week 1 is coming to a close and the Week 2 challenge will be posted tomorrow, but it's never too late to join in on the fun.

It seems like the only time I do anything is when I'm taking a class. Thank goodness there are people out there willing to "try" to teach me! This one is from Laure Ferlita. Had fun doing it.

The leaves here seem to be having a hard time changing colors this year. The weather is so dry, the leaves are just dying and falling off the trees instead of changing to those beautiful colors I am so used to seeing. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and then for several days. Maybe that will help.

Painting this one was great fun!

It's finally starting to feel like fall here. Less humidity in the air. A certain crispness to it that I love. I'm enjoying my online class with Laure - it makes me look even more closely at the world around me. And what a beautiful world it is!

This was an assignment for my class with Laura. Having a great time and experimenting with lots of materials. Lots of things I would do differently on this one, but I learned sooooo much!

I decided that I wanted the story written on the journal page but did not want it on top of my work. The butterfly was collaged on and the writing behind it.
