If I haven't been by to visit, it's because I've been spending time with a new tax guy who I am not fond of. It should NOT have taken two days to produce what my old firm did in about four hours. My old firm warned everyone that they would only be available through the first week in February. Needless to say, I procrastinated and my blog and blog friends have suffered as a result.
It's time to join Alison, aka Craftytrog, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Today I have a song for her Play it again, Sam theme.
Today we are drifting on the river. The dreamy river.
The sheet music sets the tone for the waltz, although I have never heard this before.
The paddle boat and the wavy washi tape are the much needed embellishments.
Here is a photo of the paddle boat that cruises the Mississippi River.
I got a little carried away with the handmade shimmering mists.
I started this page with the vintage sheet music I glued over a used file folder. I spritzed my shimmering mists onto the page, and the nozzle of the pink got a bit out of hand. I then cut and added the two images of the paddle boat using wavy washi tape.For Day 13 of 22, I recycled sheet music taken from my neighbor's dumpster, and two images from a freebie travel magazine. The mists were already mixed, and the washi tape is new.

Sorry you've been having to spend so long sorting your taxes. I love the recycled music sheet!
Big, big sigh at having to spend time with a less than efficient tax agent.
Love your music sheets.
We had a new accountant This year too… luckily it worked fine. Good luck with the filing and all that.

Love the boat, Mississippi was instantly on my mind :-)
Taxes, gahhhhh. Not till the last sec ;-)...
Good morning Elizabeth I really love this page for the theme. great find of the vintage sheet music too Happy mid week
I would like to be drifting along a dreamy river right now. Taxes are a big pain aren't they? Ours are half done, sitting on the table. I can't finish them until my husband is around long enough to answer a few questions; he's had a crazy busy work week and hasn't gotten home until after 8 2 nights in a row. I figured that wasn't a good time to bug him.
I am loving this lazy river page. You found some nice old music and the paddle boat works perfect with this song. I'd love to hear what this actually sounds like. Be glad your taxes are done, and enjoy the day. Hugs-Erika
I hate tax time. I'm lucky I have a good person to do my stuff. Rick does his own and is tearing his hair out about now!
I really like this art piece. The red drips and washi are perfect together. Very artful!
The weather is so nice today and would be a perfect day for a cruise. Sixteen years ago, I went on a brunch cruise on the Mississippi in MN. So much fun. Thanks for the memories.
Beautiful pages Elizabeth!
Tax time what a messy time of year. Love the art though. Have a good day.
Lovely and creative pages ~
~ Hope the tax man is done and doesn't charge you by the hour ~

this is a really cute piece Elizabeth; and hoping your tax dood was thorough enough after all that... to have not made any errors ~~~~~ YEOW
Another wonderful page for my AJJ theme Elizabeth. I love the washi tape waves.
Ack on tax time. Hope Uncle Sam is kind to you.
Love the piece.
Hugs,
Great idea for your lovely page Elizabeth. Good luck with the taxes.
Sorry about the tax man!
Love your page which reminds me of all the times I longed to go for a Paddle Boat ride. Never did and now I know I never will so I love seeing a picture of one and your page takes me for that longed for ride.
Hugs, Neet xxx
What a lovely page and I do like that boat :)
All the best Jan
As soon as I saw this I thought of steamboats - perfect 😁. Loving how you added the washi tape and image. Happy and creative wishes! Hugs Jo x
You have a much better reason for being behind on blogs than I do. I have no excuse at all. I wonder what took the tax guy so long. Maybe you'll find a better one for next year.
