Calendargirlz journal additions for October...




Finally! After a month of no inspiration, and zero creativity, my muse finally gave me a good shake and woke me up! Above are the spreads I've created in Lizbeth's calendar journal. And I had a blast playing in Lizbeth's journal! Gosh, it's good to be back. Sadly, it is the final calendar journal I had to work in for our 2009 calendar journal round robin. But, we already have our players in place for our 2010 round robin, and I so look forward to another year of sharing with the rest of the girls in the Calendargirlz group! Happy calendar journaling!!

Calendargirlz journal additions for September...





Above are my latest calendar journal round robin entries. This time around I played in Patty's journal. Our round robin will soon be coming to an end. Only two more CJs to play in for this year! It's been loads of fun so far!

Art Journaling squared....


I've found that there are times when I have the desire to work on square pages, so today I've made another journal, an 9" x 9" square with a wide spine. The little window on the cover holds a print of a whimsical picture I drew of myself, the Journal Gypsy, when I first started altering books several years ago.

Found Works....


Well, not really. "Found Works from the Lost Libraries of Grey Matter" is actually my new "reclaimed journal". I've taken an old ledger-style journal of mine, removed all the finished spreads and added them to another ledger. Left was an empty ledger to begin playing with. So far I have completed the cover, pictured above. What was a really neat find for this journal, was a ribbon that says "survivor" on it, which holds the journal together...so the journal was not lost, it survived! lol

Midnight rain...

A dandy thunderstorm came through around midnight last night. The lightning was pretty intense, so I didn't open my window to take this shot of the rain, so I ended up with a bit of a double image. Nevertheless, I like a good rainstorm, so I kept the photo.

Introducing Joseph Toes, the 26 toed wonder!



Yep, he has 8 more toes than the average feline! lol One of my fellow Calendargirlz was interested in seeing a picture of my 26 toed cat, Joe Toes. He has 7 toes on his front paws and 6 on his back paws. It's not easy trying to take a picture of the paws of a cat while he's rubbing and rolling around! lol But, I managed to get these two pics of him and his big clodhoppers! So, there you are Lisa, introducing Sir Joseph Toes! I wasn't able to get a good shot of his crab-like claws, but one is just peeking out of his left thumb. in the bottom picture. His inside thumbs have huge claws shaped like crab's claws. His thumbs on his front paws actually have 3 toes, with 4 toes on the main area of his paw.

My girl

This is the love of my life, my Rottweiler Sophie, on her new pillow. Although it seems that the cats prefer it, and she prefers my bed!
