Really I can't believe how tired I've been. I decided yesterday that I would get back to my regular bedtime of 10pm instead of staying up until after 11:30pm playing. It turned out to be the best thing! I actually woke up this morning feeling normal even though I really could have rolled over and gone back to sleep.
Over at
Kristin's Blog this week we are taking a look at the color Brown. I have always LOVED Brown! It is the color of my eyes and of my very special friend I have had for over 40 years. So it was natural to me that I would choose my friend, along with a couple of pages from an old Winnie the Pooh book, found at a thrift store for .99cents. I then by added a pop of Pooh bear yellow, as I like to call it.
The background was painted a light tan, stamped over with a word stamp and a diamond stamp I picked up last year in the $1 bin at Michael's craft store. The brown circles are from a tp tube dipped into paint then stamped on the page. I tried the same thing with a light orange paint but ended up not liking it so I covered it up with Liquitex ink in Yellow Orange. This ink is wonderful because it is transparent but still gives a bold color. I liked it so much that I used it in the white spaces on the pages and added circles on the book pages.
