If you aren't familiar with the Challenge check it out here Art to the 5th and best of all it's FREE - yep I said Free !!!
I used my Dina Wakely acrylics and just placed drops of the various colours all over the page. I used my finger to spread the paint out in circles - finger painting !! I also added a few circles of book paper just for a little texture. I sprayed on some Dylussions paint in hot pink over the book paper then gave the entire a page a misting of white. Once that dried I used my pen to outline some of the circles, added the phrase with rub ons and finished it off with a strip of wash tape.
I'm using this as my gratitude journal so each day I write on or two things that I'm grateful for. It was funny because when I started the page I wasn't so sure, however now that it's finished I really like it. I guess patience is what I'm learning :-)
I'm soon going to head downstairs to work on my basement clean up for the Heap of Challenge over at Funky Junk Interiors. I have found this challenge to be so fun and fulfilling. The thought of purging my basement with the intent of better organizing it so that I can do my chalk painting and building small "junk projects" has me so excited. Guess what !! my dear friend Evelina texted me that I had 5 comments on my blog !! Wow what really - little ole me ????? sure enough I popped on and there they were 5 comments about the basement cleanup. I was thrilled because when I started my blog it was always for me - just to share the things I was working on. I thought if someone commented great however it wasn't an expectation I had. I was tingling with excitement though when I saw the comments....between you and I could have fallen off my chair when I saw even Donna herself from Funky Junk Interiors commented. ( I love that woman - junker extraordinaire !!)
Evelina reminded me that if I responded then I would have 10 comments!! Oh yes I better get on that we texted with smiles and tee hees.
The whole day I thought about how fun it was to see the comments. It reminded me that a small gesture such as that brought a smile to my face, so of course I'll be paying that forward.
Well off to the basement !
Have a wonderful Sunday and please don't underestimate the joy that a small gesture gives.
Hugs,
Diane
