Creative Every Day:
I don't think I've taken time to say that I joined a group about being creative every day. It is for this year and started by the wonderful Leah who has done art everyday month (November). This is for the entire year. I know that there is rarely a day that goes by in which I am not creative, in one way or another, but this will be more about trying to document that more regularly. I realize that it is nearly the end of the month and I have not been documenting my art BUT I have been working slowly, diligently, at cleaning in the basement and particularly trying to organize my art supplies and room. As I've said before - it's about slow as molasses. But I think it will feel about as sweet as molasses too once I ever get it finished.
Here are a number of the boxes I've been decorating in the process of trying to organize all my stamps. I always had to dig through layers of stamps in just a couple of boxes to find the ones I wanted. With this collection of unusual boxes I will be able to, hopefully, have just one layer of stamps in each box. We'll see how it goes. I will be decorating a couple more boxes for yarn and fibres. I've got some of those already in purchased boxes but ran out. Good thing I found some more shoe boxes to empty. Now I can have the fun of decorating them.

















And here are some stamps I've been making - fun foam pieces and carved from rubber. I have plans especially for fabric:







I've also been doing a couple of videos in the past weeks for creating. I'll be sharing another one about the farm tomorrow.

"You make my day award" - Quite a number of days ago my dear friend Suze presented me with this wonderful award: Thanks Suze. I would like to present it back to you and I would also like to give it to Elena, Susan, Darcy, Mandy, Debra, Mary Ann, Lisa, and Karen. While Elena does not have a blog she is very dear to me. I'm not certain if Lisa has one now either. Regardless, she also deserves the award. As it is to be passed on to up to ten other recipients I will suggest they can pass it to someone verbally. thanks to each and every one of you that sends me angels. They are so very appreciated.

A bit of creating, playfulness in past few days. I especially want to share as I have chosen to join creative every Day. I'll have to get the button here soon. I will also talk more about it another day.





I have tossed together another slideshow which you can find here.
Please remember to click on original view on top right side. There's not really new art on it but it appears in a different way. It also reminds me of creations I have done in the past.

I am trying very much to do more cleaning - inside my thoughts and inside my play space in the basement. If I seem to be slow in commenting, visiting, creating, know I am working with these hugest of tasks.

Angels be with you,
Wendy

Autumn collages and another journal page:
I'd completed these autumn collages a while back. They were with a friend of mine who has purchased some of my art. There are six altogether. They measure about 8 1/2 x 11 inches. It is one of my photos printed on decorative paper and then applied to more decorative paper with stitching. A brad was then added.


The journal page is, as often, with words. These words are about the castle which is me. As I'm more into country, informal style, there are splashes of that also LOL. The windows show bright light which is what I am seeking. A number of years ago someone told me of the book "Interior Castle" by Teresa of Avila. So developed the idea of myself as a castle.
