art journal challenge - week 10

here we are again gals! week 10 - so cool!

i won't bore you with my woes but i have been sick and pathetic for a month now, and i am really ready to feel completely better and take one the world! (more importantly, tackle my 'to do' list...). my downfall in getting better (apart from not being able to take any decent drugs and the fact that i live on the side of a smoggy freeway) is that i NEVER REST...a quality i undoubtedly inherited from my stubborn ol' dad. so this week, i am going to set aside much needed 'rest time', take a few naps, meditate...and hope that it will be my miracle cure!

so, do you need to tell or remind yourself of something this week?

our prompt is: 'note to self' - write a little note to yourself, whatever that may be!

paper is from paper source, stamp is 7 gypsies, flower made from layers of felt and fabric - i just wanted to make it for fun (that is what an art journal is for!).

have a great week :)

this is a wonderful prompt this week.
getting that rest/meditation time can be
a challenge but oh so rewarding. :)
enjoy and feel better soon.
great little layout this week!

Adorable card!!!Girl, take it easy - seriously :)

Smoggy freeway = blechy, so see if you can borrow or buy a good air filter for your home. I know it may sound silly, but it helps lots of people who live in poor air quality areas...good luck and relax! :)

Hi Guys, I'm Caught Up!!! WOOHOO! It feels soo good to acually be caught up and able to really think about this weeks challenge. So...here is my Week 9 card. I'm not to crazy about the way it turned out, I had MUCH higher expectations for it. But, there are parts of it I DO like. I hope you guys like it. Here's the link to it...

I am soo anxious to see what everyone comes up with for Week 10's card (Em, I LOVE your card!). I saw the prompt and said "Oh No!" because I am HORRIBLE about doing things I NEED to do for myself. I tell myself things over & over & over in my journal but half the time I NEVER do them OR do them and stop a bit later. So HOPEFULLY this will help me stick with it. In case you're wondering (if you've looked at my pic and/or bio on my blog I'm sure you already know this) I am talking about my weightloss efforts. It truly is a BATTLE. Anyway...I better shut up & get off of here. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Take Care & Happy Creating,
Later,
Amy

[Amy Kyle-Percy]

Oh, and I forgot to say...

Emily...TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!

Hope you get to feeling better & DO Take Care of Yourself!

GB Hugs,
Amy

Hi! I have not made this weeks card yet, I live in Sweden and it is morning here now. But I will start with it just after my breakfast! My husband and I have made a homepaige for me and my Art Journal challenge... it is in swedish cause I have difficult to feel the same for the english language, it is easier and more powerful for me to use my own language.... But if you want to look at it, the address is

Thanks for this challenge it is a very big source of inspiration... I love monday mornings nowadays. :-D

Thanks Emily for this prompt. Maybe I'll actually do what I needed to do now. You better too. I'm going to bring you dinner one night this week so you can relax more. I owe you anyway, my girls can't stop talking about feeding the bunnies and the chicken laying an egg at Ivy's school. Thanks for taking us. I'll call you about dinner. :) ANyway, here's my card for the week.

Oh so sorry to hear you are not feeling well! Hope you will get better REAL soon! Love your card, the flower is awesome!!

Hi Emily.
I really hope for you to get better soon.
Rest, do things you love, find a way to get happy and healthy....and your new baby will be a happy, healthy baby too. ;-)
I have lived near a trafficjam as well, and I found the best way for me to feel ok about it was to buy flowers and greens....I even had a tree inside my tiny apartment...it helped clean the air and made me feel happy. ;-)
Hope you find your way, Em.
Love your card this week.
Hugs, hugs, hugs
G
