St Louis / Zoo

 My first time to explore the St Louis Zoo, and it won't be my last! What a fabulous time I had with my son. We went early in the morning and started with a great parking spot. The zoo was not crowded and we enjoyed taking our time walking the exhibits. I ❤️ the decor that certainly spoke to the artist in me!

Goodbye Miami - Glad to be home!

 

The Miami sky was so lovely on the morning we left for home. God certainly painted a wonderful palette to me to remember our trip. Unfortunately, right now, the issues we had getting home are too bold in my head. But, that will pass... Delayed and missed flights, and too long in the Atlanta airport is all I can think of right now.  I must focus on the positive parts and move forward. 

Today begins the 100 Day Project. I'm still on the fence. Do it or not. I'm learning towards not, unless I come up with a fabulous idea in the next few hours. One thing I've wanted to do is some natural art to hang around the forest and garden. That may be a good direction to head. It needs to be easy. I've been following a woman on IG that creates out in nature and her pieces are simply amazing! Somehow, make it my own and have fun. Let me ponder this while I drink a cup of tea.

Friday - Travel Day!



Happy faces from our "last" cruise (2022). Can we do better than last time? 

 After our last trip together, Jon said it was his last. I guess he forgot the difficult parts, because here we are leaving for 2 weeks in the Caribbean on a cruise ship. Today, we fly to Miami, spend the night, and then board the ship tomorrow.  He is taking a walker and we have a wheelchair reserved on the ship. I am a bit nervous about the flight with him, but we have good seats and a positive attitude. He is very nervously driving around in his electric chair. Me, I'm just ready to get going! My bag is filled with art projects and an extra journal for tons of writing.

JJJ - Days 24 - 31

 Day 24: 

Fabric: I must admit, the components were already done and in my stash. 



Day 25: Ombre - It was nice to use some of the avocado dyed papers from my stash. The photo doesn't show the "ombre" very well, but does it really matter?


Day 26: Translucent - A simple piece of cheesecloth over an old photo. I'm a believer that a page doesn't have to take hours to create. 



Day 27: Lyrics


Day 28: Grungy




Day 29: Geometric




Day 30: Travel





Day 31: Reflect
