I was in Group 3 and these are the photos from the members in my group:

March 31st
Just joined a group called Smooosh journal on Facebook and Dictionary Art. I am doing a composition journal just for vacation this year plus my grandchildren are also doing one as we usually vacation together.
Here is a couple of pages from our Spring Break Trip:

I also have my birds draw for a card swap on JKIS:

Now I need to get them watercolored and posted in the mail once we get our names.

I am also on a quest to find an old dictionary to do drawings in-this should be fun!!!

I also ordered the materials to do the April List by Reset Girl-this will be my first time for this project!

March 30
Look what came in the mail plus a little trip to Hobby Lobby. Since I am on a watercolor kick I just had to try out these watercolors from Hobby Lobby. They were not expensive so I will share with my grandchildren.

March 12th

I just had to go for it and do the watercolor playground today it took almost all day. While I was waiting the watercolor to dry in a spot I was watching a video on You Tube by Gina Ahrens doing one minute girls so I had to try one. Going to take a break from my craft room to spend some time with my family.

March 11th

I am taking watercolor classes from Tammy Garcia and having so much fun! I love to watercolor!
Here is my work from today!

I also made a new practice book for JKIS new challenge to practice drawing and eventually a swap with our practice pieces!!!! I am having way too much fun!

March 7th

What fun I had today with two new purchases!!! I love love Derwent Intense Blocks and Nova paints!! Below is a couple of fast projects I made while putting them in my reference book. Reference book is from JKIS classes for 2015. This is a wonderful project! I can't believe how many times I have used it already!!!! The Nova paints are from Suzi Dennis's class Drawing a Blank. I used them to paint on receipt made papers. I love how some of the writing is still visible. Enjoy the projects and play, play, and play.

Really kicking myself cause I only ordered 7 colors but I will be ordering more!!!

March 4th

Close up of My Happy Place for JKIS!

I have three happy places and truly it is where my family is; one is in the town we live, a cabin on a lake, and of course the camper and we can go where we wish.

Second week project for Lifeboat 2015

Second week project JKIS-Animal

A composition Journal I did to do Shannon Green's Plan 5!!

I can't believe it is 2015 already. The time sure flies when you are retired!!! I'm sorry to say it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog plus I hardly ever use my circuit anymore. I have gone back to drawing and playing with watercolors and paints. I am taking Lifebook for 2015 or it is taking me. Here is a photo or my first two projects.

I am also doing the weekly lessons at Krazy Island! Here is the first project from that lesson.

Well those classes just weren"t enough so I am also doing DLP for 2015. This is also a weekly lesson.

Here is my Jan. calendar for the challenge on studio7ARTacademy:

The inspiration for these calendars is a class I am taking from Megan Suarez. I love these cuties!!!
Enough for now! Enjoy and do something you love everyday!
