Happy Friday and Paint Party Friday: July 29

Happy Friday!

This Friday I am happy about:

1. Getting to hang out with one of my college roommates, who currently lives in Texas, during her long layover in Denver. A cup of coffee with a friend has never been so delightful! She was one of my bridesmaids and the last time we saw each other is when we were both bridesmaids for our other roommate last summer.
^my 21st birthday - Pirates and Rum party. 
I'm the one on the left, and she on the right.
below is during our senior year.

2. Renewing my commitment to pilots and yoga. Feeling sore in a refreshing invigorating way! And my pain levels from the chronic illnesses are remarkably manageable lately which means I don't have to modify nearly as much!

3. Exploring the new exhibits at the Denver Art Museum (which I will share more about and photos and all that at another time!)


To celebrate Paint Party Friday, I am continuing to work on the art journal pages I showed you last week.



What wonderful mess have you been getting into lately?

What is making this Friday a happy one for you?

What gorgeous colors you have used in your journal! I enjoyed reading about your reunion with your roommate. In recent years three of my elementary school pals and I met in Charleston SC for a reunion and to celebrate our attaining the ripe old age of 75. It was loads of fun to renew friendship after decades of not seeing one another. Take care to keep up with your friends. It means a lot when you get old.

You are rockin' those art journal pages in a major way!!! I love the colors (my fav combinations) and the texture - bubble wrap?? I SOO dig playing with bubble wrap in my journal! You and your friend look great in the photos - isn't time with a friend the best - nothing like great company and great conversation!

Pointy Pix said...

I love to see photos of the folk I'm getting to know albeit virtually via the internet! You have the most beautiful smile! Its great meeting up with old friends and finding you still fall back into that old easy friendship. I love the art journals you're working - the honeycomb effect on those pages is great!

Love the bird. Very beautiful journal pages and I might add the colours in that plate would make another wonderful feathered friend for the birdy.
