A THANKFUL HEART

Hi Everyone! 


It is with a thankful heart we celebrate this holiday for God's merciful bounties and for bringing our family together to share. It is not the material things of this earth that bind us together rather it is our God, our family and friends. 


On this Thanksgiving eve I am thinking about those are suffering the after affect of Hurricane Sandy. My heart goes out to them for their loss of home and neighborhoods, of dear ones and the devastating effect on each persons life. The amazing thing I see on the news each night is the attitude of gratitude, determination and a willingness to go on despite the challenges. 
When tragic events happen people pull together in their communities and support and love one another. While we can't be physically there to support the families and communities affected by Hurricane Sandy, we can pray for them and offer our assistance by donating to Relief funds or through our churches, etc. that offer assistance. 

Happy Thanksgiving.
Suzy

AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE JOURNAL

Hi Everyone! 

So glad you dropped by today to get a glimpse at the new Attitude of Gratitude Journal pages!  This journal is a month long project started by Bernice Hopper over at www.anattitudeofgratitudejournal.blogspot.com. We'd love for you to come and join our group!

It's simple, each day Bernice gives thought provoking questions to get you started, some video inspiration plus quotes that inspire. She even provides this in a PDF format to print out! Some people post daily to Bernice's blog page (she provides a link up tool) and others post to Facebook http://www.facebook.com/groups/509598659058041/  or here at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/2100586@N21/.   I hope you will consider joining us! 

You can check out my pages in AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE JOURNAL by clicking on the tab above.  I give a bit of insight to the thought process on each page and a larger detailed view.  I appreciate any and all comments, however, I would ask you to be kind when commenting. It is a challenge to do these pages and an even bigger challenge to put them out there for others to see. I do hope you will enjoy them and join me each week for my show and tell! 

Have a Creative Day

Art Every Day Month

Hey Everyone!

It's been a very busy week trying to cope with the new job (and the old one) and keep up with hubs, family and the two art challenges. I'll admit it is a bit much but I am having a great time with the journal pages for both challenges!  Maybe you have been following along on Facebook or perhaps you have found the Flickr account but I promised I would post my  Art Every Day Month (AEDM) journal pages here on Tuesdays and An Attitude Of Gratitude (AOG) on Thursdays.  So here's a sneak peak of my pages for AEDM, if you want to see them up close and personal just click on the tab above for more detail.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are inspired to come join us in making art journal pages everyday!

Bee Creative!

TWO NEW ART JOURNAL CHALLENGES BEGIN

Hi Everyone! 

I'm off on not one but two art adventures for the month of November! Yes, they both coincide this month but I'm going to give it a shot! Check them both out!  Art Every Day Month (AEDM) and is hosted by Leah over at http://creativeeveryday.com.  I hope you will join me as I start this very special challenge of making art every day! I'll be posting it on my blog once a week during November on Tuesday. An Attitude of Gratitude (AAOG) is hosted by Bernice Hopper over at http://www.anattitudeofgratitudejournal.blogspot.com. I'll be posting here on Flicker http://www.flickr.com/groups/2100586@N21/and also on my blog on Thursdays.  This is a very busy month for me between starting two new jobs, care for my grands and having family in for the holidays. Really, is this too much??? 

The process of making art is something I feel compelled to do, on a daily basis if at all possible.  We'll see how it goes during November. I need your support in cheering me on, especially as the time for the holidays starts to draw nearer! 

Thanks for your support and I appreciate each comment and read them all! I hope you will also be inspired to try a 30 day challenge yourself! It is amazing to make a series of art journal pages and to watch your creativity blossom when you step out of your norm and into a world of creativity that is within you.  I encourage you to try it! Just go for it, do your own art and find what makes your heart happy. Experiment with new colors, new ideas, try a new product and enjoy the process! Have fun! And if you are so inclined, please send me a photo of your work! I'd love to see it! 

Happy Creating (with Gratitude) Every Day! 
Suzy
