A few favorites

 

I'm once again joining Erika, who many of you know as BioArtGal, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is Favorite Things. 

I'm sharing a few of mine today.

Let's look at some of my favorite things.

I love to read, so reading the New York Times and eating almonds sounds good to me.  Of course, I don't need glasses except to drive.

I love making handmade paper.  I also love collecting scraps and stickers off fruit and veggies.  A nice flower is fun to have, too.

I love going to the zoo, so the elephant I got in my zoo renewal packet was fun. 

 

I also love gardening, so the basket of flowers in the stamp/sticker reinforces that.

Here's a better picture of the elephant and the zoo notification.

It's no secret I also love cardinals. 

Here I've shared several.

I always hate it when I can't use something. 

It's nice to know I was able to use this left-over phrenology image from last month.

I always enjoy collecting fortunes from fortune cookies.  Some make perfect sense, some are silly.  This one seems to go well with the image, too.

I started this page by laying down various colors of watercolors on a sheet of 110 lb. cardstock.   To that, I added the various pieces I described above.  I then computer generated the words and turned them into a quote bubble.

Bleubeard and I are incredibly thrilled you chose to visit us today, and we would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Favorite Things.
