A Cactus Monday with Daily Value!

OK...here's the deal...my daughter and I drove approx. 20 miles the other day to the one and only paper arts/scrapbooking store in our county...and it is a lovely store, I'll tell ya...but...I just can't bring myself to buy any pre-made stuff, and I am not into stamping. I feel I must use junk and recycle, and draw, paint, etc. my own stuff...which can be really crappy, I know...in the end...but what can I do if this is the way I am wired?

I came home, and just decided I HAD to cut up a coke can...with the intention of using it (with a rolled edge) for the back of an ATC...but I soon found out it was too soft for this....sadly...Anyhoo...I DID cut out the DAILY VALUE chart and used it in this doodle, while siting down trying to relax after a semi-crazy day...and this is what came out of it. Some people actually get value out of using cactus for medicinal purposes, and I think this tall planty-looking thing on the right side of page looks sort of cactusy...but maybe more like some sort of Euphorbia (which is actually a succulent). Once again I am selling out to the succulents (in general), rather than the cactus...(sorry CM group)...


I drew it on page 2 of the Christmas journal I made. I am ignoring the fact that it is themed for the wrong time of year, and just proceeding ahead with whatever...because who the heck actually gives a flying flip what I do? I know I don't!!! :)

A little book I made yesterday!!

Now, don't think I have gone off my rocker when you see this little book made from old Christmas cards being done this time of year...it was supposed to be my experimental one...but I ended up liking it so much, I will keep it for later in the year! LOL. I decided to do a video and just talk about it and show it to you all, and I am excited to try one done with a gardening theme next. Much more aprapros for Spring, eh??? LOLOL! Hope you enjoy my video!!! :) Oh, and please excuse Doozeys barking, and please don't notice my messy screenroom floor...post grandkids, ya know!!! :)
