Our Next Adventure (and a look into my Jan. calendar)

Wednesday wonders is on hiatus while I bring you one final entry I created for Erika's theme New Year, New Adventures at Art Journal Journey.   Erika has been a fantastic host this month, and many, many of us have loved her chosen theme.

As this month draws to a close,

we are off to

our next adventure.

This time we'll be flying high.

I created this spread in my Challenges altered book.  I laid down two colors of blue water soluble crayons (still love them, Cindy).  While the page was drying, I fussy cut the airplane image I found in a book, then colored it using silver and lavender metallic crayons.  I added red metallic gel pen to the tail and one of the windows, and used it to write the sentiment, too.  Because I was afraid I might mess up when I wrote the words, I colored, then cut printer/copier paper in case I made a mistake.

Since it's the last day of the month, I wanted to share my continuing monthly calendar with you.

Here is my January calendar complete.  I actually gave Sally her gift yesterday, so I was able to fill the page completely.  It's a puny calendar, but it fits my purposes and I can look back on years past to see how well or how badly a certain month went.  You may enlarge to read the minutia of my very boring life.

February is ready to write in, but undecorated, which I will do after I see what the month holds.

Speaking of calendars, Seth Apter just posted the ARTifacts calendars that I, along with many others, participated in.  Please check them out on his blog.   The second link goes directly to the ARTifacts wrap up post.  My wrap up post can be found here.

I am simply thrilled you joined me today.    Thank you beyond belief for your continued support of my art and my puny calendar.  You will find me today at Art Journal Journey.  Hope to see you there, too.
