It's been a crazy week, some good, some not so good, but such is life...Monday we finally got around to filing our taxes and our new tax guy, George Mendonca (you should hear him pronounce his name--aaahhh!) was great. Found us a nice return and a potential art job for me later this spring-yay! Painting his business name on his front door! I'll take it! Tuesday I wasted the whole morning with Comcast, Wednesday I tried to play catch up and lost, yesterday morning was spent grocery shopping...and today will be more catch up....sigh...
Anyways, NLWM has been rather underwhelming for me. I've mailed out over sixty cards so far and have only received twenty back. Hmph. So, I'm laying off for the time being. I'll finish mailing out the cards I've already done, but after they're gone I'm only replying with thank you's to new cards I receive. So we'll see how the rest of the month goes...
In the meantime, I've gone back to Letter Love (more catching up!) and have been playing around with some calligraphy and letter layering, which has been fun!
A 'Letter Layered' journal page done with water soluble wax pastels, Sharpies and Gelly Rolls; two final postcards for NLWM, top watercolor pencil, bottom done with watercolor (both were drawn with Sharpies). I have a couple more ideas in my head for the layered letter pages I hope to play with this afternoon. Bugga's done early for school today since it's Friday, then next week is Spring Break--hoping the weather is nice enough for a beach trip at least one day! Yay!!
So, happy weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Oh yes, trying to play catch up can be quite frustrating .... Love your Letter Love work, especially the one on the bottom right.
