It's All About The WHIMSY!

Inspiring eye candy

Sometimes it's nice to find inspiration for sketching and painting inside the pages of a magazine.  I routinely gather images from the UK edition of Country Living.  The photography is just wonderful, loads of images to recreate in my journals..

 

 At Barnes and Noble...yes a brick and mortar book store (and aren't we glad they still exist) I came across this FABULOUS magazine LandLove!  I just wanted to crawl inside!  Gardens, wildlife, homes, and travel with a British twist.  Pages and pages of inspiration...I don't know if it is a new magazine or one just now available in the States.  If you see it check it out, you too will be inspired.

 

 

And a resulting ladybug portrait in my No Excuses journal.

 

 

Have a grand weekend!  I'll be raking and blowing leaves all weekend, the downside of a house in the woods..but worth it for the inspirational views...

 

It's the little things that make me smile

Thank you Leslie for the "push" forward.

It's a good thing!

Oh how I LOVE Fossil, all things Fossil.  I'll admit to a purse and tote obsession...I try to be good but sometimes I can't help myself.  These oil cloth zipper bags are perfect for holding suppies in my journal bag.  Fabulous!  I smile just looking at them..and they are useful!  Therefore I feel justified, so there!
