journaling: I have been a home school Mom since 2009. It has pretty much been all I’ve done since then. Now that Meli has graduated, what do I do with me? How do I find th enext thing? I feel adrift but I know eventually I will find my wings.

Made for the Collab chasllenge. I used Validation from Crafty Buttons design and Courtney designs. (unfortunately retired) This photo was one of my first selfies back in 2018. I didn't know the distortion that camera mad. My face is long but the original was too much. So I used the Liquify...

Background is paper 13 in Color Burn mode over paper mm09. Then using mm 09 again as the paper to be masked and brushed I created the mm overlay with a bristle brush and leafy texture. Stamps are placed between the paper layers. The photo is both masked and framed and there are 2 black spatters...

An art journal page about my new direction in home decor. Daddy may not approve of the new look I give that upstairs bedroom or my new creative space when I get there but I suspect he will adapt to it! Journaling reads: What’s my style? Traditional? Modern? Contemporary? None of those styles...

September Color Play

Credits: Rachel Jefferies/Lynn Grieveson "New Connections" I edited the photo to be a duo tone, and then I used blending techniques to blend the background of dots into the photo.

Two photos taken less than a year apart, but feel like different people :-0

This one's dedicated to all those mothers who made a safe and secure home despite the odds ;-)
