Step Up

Before we begin today, I want to thank everyone for your well wishes for my friend Sally.  When I told her about all your well wishes, she was truly touched.  Although this place we visited has outpatient surgeries, she told me it was set up like a real hospital.  There were five people who attended her, including the doctor, the anesthesiologist, nurses, etc, just like, according to Sally, a real operating room.   We were home by noon and with the "boot" she was given, she was walking surprisingly well by herself.  Since I had not gotten any real sleep for two days, I crashed as soon as I was home.  But I truly want to thank each of you for your kind words and concern for my dear friend.  We now return to our regularly scheduled post!

I'm once again joining Erika at Bio Art Gal this month's host at Art Journal Journey with her theme New Year, New Adventures. 

It's time to

step up to

your next

(maybe on an airplane?)

adventure.

For this page I created in my Challenges altered book, I began by laying down white and deep blue water soluble crayons (the Christmas gift from Cindy that keeps on giving).  While the paint was drying, I cut the airplane from a book and wrote out the sentiment using a blue metallic gel pen.  Since I wasn't sure I wouldn't mess up on the sentiment, I wrote it on white paper, then added it to the spread.

Thanks for joining me today at Art Journal Journey.   And thanks for your visit, your concern for my neighbor and friend Sally, and continued support of my art.  I am so incredibly grateful to each of you.
