Twilight Zone

You have now crossed over…..





into….The Twilight Zone.


It’s been awhile since I did a regular Art Journal page…well…I don’t know if there is such a thing as “regular” when talking about the wacky world of Art Journaling. I thought I’d do a page of funny little sayings/statements that amuse me.





This one made the list because it was so unexpected.  I overheard this in Art Class.  You see there was a “kids camp” going on in a few rooms next door.  The kids are quite energetic after lunch (especially the boys) and they start checking out the other rooms.  Well, we’re all sitting there working on our pictures in the main studio and a couple kids come bopping into our class.  One of them yells out, “Hey, there’s my lunchbox”.  I never did look up to see who said this, but it cracked me up…I’m assuming that the child didn’t even know he had lost his lunch box.





I can’t take credit for all these statements.  I’ve been collecting them over at pinterest.





Another pinterest pin….





I hear this a lot at home….just replace the “he” with a “she”.





This one is for the “dog lovers”.





And last but not least…..”Never let someone drive you crazy…..it’s nearby and the walk is good for you”.


Enjoy your day

Prep Page Two…..complete

On my flight out to Newport I would overhear snippets of conversation, so I started a list of what I’d heard.

Well, the word got out that I was keeping a list and before I knew it, I had lots of help in the comment-list-keeping department.  The quote above was spoken by someone very dear to me and it even had the shop owner cracking up!



What can I say, sometimes I gotta be reminded!



I adore Chicago, always have and always will…..the accents, the winter hats, the toll ways (don’t adore these, but they are very Chicago), the shopping!  But mostly the family!



Very poor picture quality.  Too lazy to re-take!



This one probably has a lot to do with growing up with 3 older brothers!  What can I say?



Another quote from last weekend.  I believe….it’ pretty universally true (I think).



Having some word-play-fun with Cheese!



If you refer to anything and everything as “the thing”….then you’re right there with me when I say, “Sometimes I can’t think of the nouns”.  Or really….I don’t want to stop and think of the nouns!  Just easier to say “thing”.

Newport NonSense…..

My flight was un-event-ful!!  Which is the way I like it!!  LOL!!
I did not Art Journal as much as I thought I would!  Darn-it!!



The non-sense all started when “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” was allowed to come out and sightsee.  There is so much to see in Newport, RI….. how could I not let him see it all too?  They have the mansions (The Breakers, Marble House, RoseCliff) directly off of the cliff walk.  We didn’t do the tour this trip, but if you’re ever in the area I would encourage you to take it.


If you’ve got a wet-suit then you can have a lot of fun in the water at this time of year (well…actually you may need that wet suit year-round to enjoy this water).  Little too cold for my tastes.  The surf wasn’t very big, but I was impressed that there were surfers catching waves.  The pic in the upper left corner is showing 5 surfers actually staying on their boards.  Wow!!  Probably about 20 surfers out there that day.  The bays are very beautiful.  Lots of people enjoy this part of the country with their water toys.



As usual….our non-sense turned into a competition!!  Who could carry the biggest rock? 



As much as we wanted to play all day, there was much work to be done by the newly licensed “Newport Maids”.  Even "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” had to pull his weight.



And for your viewing pleasure….Prep Page #1…..finished!  This is the only one completed.  What fun, I should do more of them!

My favorite little quote from above is “If you do not let me express myself, I will go crazy and I will take all of you with me!”  Can anybody guess which movie this is from?  Anyone?  Anyone?……yep….Beetlejuice!  This is so me….it just makes me laugh!
