Welcome to April!
Do you ever have embellishments, papers, ribbons, etc. that you are going to 'save' for something special? I do....so while working on my Day 6 I thought "I'm special, I should use this on me!" So I did!! I broke out some of my coveted Basic Grey Urban Couture paper and some really cool leafy brown ribbon I picked up. Boy it felt good cutting into that! Now I only used a little...but this is all about baby steps, right??
Day 7 was so fun to do! I painted!! 
I am so excited about having this piece of my artwork to enjoy after this is all done. And I am pretty doggone excited that it's been a week and I am totally caught up! That doesn't happen very often.
On homefront news, Kade decided to find out what happened when you take a piece of broken glass to an antique hutch....yes...he carved into my hutch! I have no idea what possessed him but he now has learned about sanding out scratches, fine sanding and varnishing. After working for about 4 hours on it yesterday I said to him, "Bet right about now you're wishing you hadn't done that." The look on his face answered for him. It took all the restraint I had not to snap pictures of him performing his penance...but I didn't.....
Have a great week!

I love that you are re-creating Rhonna's quotes...they look great! I had to laugh about breaking out the coveted Basic Grey...that is definately my MOST coveted paper!!! I hate using it..it's just too darn pretty! :)

I'm learning not to save, too! LOL Great job!
beatiful entries, love the ribbon, very interesting seeing your versions of Rhonna's quotes.
Love your pages! I know what you mean about "saving" stuff...for what? Who knows! I did the same with the new BG papers. I ended up using mine for the 1st round of the challenge and some on today's pages. So glad I did. Then I can enjoy it. LOVE your painting too. Great work. You are so very inspiring.
Beautiful! How inspiring!
Love your artwork!! So proud of you for cutting into the prized paper!!!

Those pages are gorgeous! I definitely can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Laughing at your Basic Grey comment because I'm a digi scrapper, but I want to get the blitzen line just so I have it...weird, huh. Good for you for using the paper, love that line, too. Your work is fantastic. Keep it up!
