Treasure Trovember 2025, Week 2

 

If you wonder why you haven't heard from me, it's because Blogger has once again chosen to forbid me from leaving comments.  I get "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later."  I DO keep trying ever so often.

It's Sunday which means it's time to share the latest Treasure Trovember installation.

These are the images I found for Week 2 of Treasure Trovember.

Of course, the images would mean nothing without the prompts and my explanation of what I chose.

I chose one of my Rose of Sharon flowers I pressed.

I had trouble with this one (a toy) and finally settled on a spinning globe.

I got a bit carried away with the zig zags I created using a blue marker pen.

The hat (and goggles) pay homage to the fact Wichita, KS is the air capital of the world.

The song was mostly music.

The grunge paper was created using my coffee paper and three glitter crayons.

The party was birthday cakes and candles, which were tiny table decorations I purchased at Big Lots years ago.

The pattern was a dressmaker's sewing pattern.

Thanks for taking time to visit.  I am thrilled when you drop by.  Please join me every Sunday in November for Treasure Trovember, 2025.

 

T Stands For More Christmas Mugs

 

Here are a few more Christmas mugs I found while visiting The Spice Merchant.

I had to laugh because I know at least one Scrooge.  Do you?  I especially like the definition of reindeer: the poor animals chosen to drag santa's big boat around.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time. 

 

 

 

Treasure Trovember 2025, Week 1

 

For the sixth year in a row, I am playing in Treasure Trovember.

 

I can't get everything on the scanner, so what you see here are the images from Week 1.

These are the Week 1 prompts.

There are a total of 12 grids.  They were all supposed to be 2 7/8 inches square, but I hand cut all of them and some were much smaller than others.

The furniture is a couch.

The basketball bounces.

The man's hands are a body part.

The dots are blue and yellow.

The martini glass is make using gold leafing.

It's obvious the drinks are in glasses.

Thanks for taking time to visit.  Originally, the prompts were given at Collage Lab.  For this and last year, the prompts have been on YouTube.  Please join me every Sunday in November for Treasure Trovember, 2025.

 

 

T Stands For It's Beginning To Look

 

  While at The Spice Merchant two days before Halloween,

it's beginning to look like Christmas.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.
