T Stands For Celebrating the Ordinary

For T day

I'm joining Sheila at Orange Esmeralda, our wonderful host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Let's Celebrate.

Today we are celebrating 

the ordinary.   Things we take for granted,

like a cup of hot coffee,

even if this is black and I drink mine white.  Of course, if coffee isn't your cup of cappuccino, any drink that you enjoy will suffice.

For this spread I created in my Challenges altered book, I started with a background I created during a Second Thursday Tutorial using twinkling H2Os and bubble wrap.  The sentiment was written with a white Gelly Roll pen.   I added a bingo card, a heart button, a fussy cut cup of coffee from a magazine, and washi tape.  I added three strips of washi tape, and covered one when I added the coffee cup.  So much for thinking ahead!

Now it's your turn to share something amazing.  It can be the ordinary or extraordinary as long as a drink of some kind is involved.  It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, teabags, scrapbooking, or any other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink. Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.  Bleubeard wants to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time.




And thanks for joining Sheila, Susi, and me at Art Journal Journey, too.

UPDATE:  Your host has been absent and trying to play catch-up.  Earlier today a transformer blew about six blocks from my house.   Both my internet and electricity were offline most of the afternoon.   Now my keyboard is acting up.  I can't win!
