I never finished the thirty journal pages in the last challenge, but the newest one has started up on Facebook: Fall in Love With Art Journaling Fall Challenge. You can sign up by following the link.
The first challenge was to use initials or monograms. I did a simple watercolor wash, some letters with black marker, and some doodles around the edges with gel pens. Good type of work for watching college football games.
Here is a little beach scene I did on a 4" x 6" card.
There was another rocket launch from Cape Canaveral on Friday morning at 6:28. This time we were still at my brother's house before leaving for Sarasota. In the picture below you can see the sun rising over Fort Myers, and the white clouds are the vapor trail from the rocket. Very cool!
Our beautiful weather continues here in southwestern Florida, while most of the east coast is swamped with rain from Hurricane Joaquin. Thank goodness there was no direct hit, but there is a lot of flooding in the Carolinas. More rain is coming their way. Hope the sun comes back out soon for them.

I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!
