GLUE BOOKING, et al

 

Working in my "En Masse" glue book....
These are  the first two "Fashionista" pages--
all fussy cut images from magazines....

AND
I have set up the next two
I decided to back these with cut out
typescripts......for a 
different look....

Below, in the same
En Masse Journal are
two finished pages:

And

HANDS,,,,

***************************
I am also working in my previously prepared
Junque Journal pages 
while my thumb heals...πŸ‘πŸ‘€
The purple rose washi tape
holds a little "flip out"card for writing
on the reverse...

Below are more prepared pages:



Here is the full two-page spread of this one

My pinky is holding a flip out 
and
there are two writing cards on the right side
held in place by a "Belly Band" 
across the page....with my
face stamp decorating it...

I do so love putting these pages together;
using labels, junk mail, magazine images,
stickers -- etc ,etc.
Whatever is on hand....
So far I have documented 
each day in November....

I do keep a regular daily 
written journal in my Hobonichi
Techo , but sometimes I feel the need
for images.....
and gluing!!

******************************
In the meantime---
I am doing a lot of these:
↓↓↓↓

from my favorite collections below
I do one each morning with my first
cup of coffee .....
***********************
You may or may not be seeing much
quilting here for a while for
obvious reasons; but
I am going to try out scissor cutting
and see how that goes....

[DH has threatened to take away 
my rotary cutters---hahaha]

LONG TIME NO SEE...

 
I have been knitting away on 
my
 long Winter socks; and 
I turned the heel 
this week
 
And I am working my way down
the foot now...

**************************
I have been reading
while resting...

I πŸ’– this
Homer Kelly
series..
really good
and also
very funny
;D

AND

I got this for Christmas
by another one of my 
favorite authors:
↡↡↡↡
I have yet to start this
collection of short
stories...

ALSO
I am
doing one of these
per day
↴↴↴
I am almost finished
with this volume and
have one more puzzle 
to solve...

************************
My week has filled with doctor
appointments....
s i g h πŸ‘€πŸ˜•

First, I went to see my 
primary care physician on
Monday--
who sent me to an orthopedic
specialist--
where I had a series of 
back twisting and
ankle turning 
X-RAYS
Ouch!!
πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘½

Sooo
the upshot is
 that
I am scheduled for 
an MRI this coming Thursday
the 13th 
(ummm... 
glad it's 
not Fri 13th!!)

To see exactly what has
been going on for these
past pain filled 6 months!!!

Wish me luckπŸ‘©πŸ’πŸ˜Ÿ
************************
We had 6" of snow yesterday
and it was 14 degrees here
this morning...
Glad I am an 
"Indoor Snow Bunny"
hahaha

I may be absent for a
while but I am reading
posts and commenting...

Sadly no 
sewing going on
as yet...
