My favourite day of the week is Thursday as I get to visit my friends Linda, Pat, Chantal and Marie..its like a ladies who lunch day with some arty time thrown in. Today I saw Lindas new kitchen complete with the most amazing brass handles very vintaj looking!. Of course with the stress of trying to get my kids to school hoping they would go in this time without a fuss..I completely forgot my art supplies. So luckily I was able to make something out of papers, white paint, old sewing patterns, scrunched brown paper and a teabag to distress everything! Linda always has the latest gadgets so this book is made with a new machine called the cinch! which is great for making more than 6 holes compared to a bind it all machine. I have finished this off tonight with images from ceremony and added some beads, vintage lace, buttons and crochet thread. I visited Chantals house for the first time today and saw the most amazing French furniture and framed art ..very ornate to accompany our lovely lunch in the new conservatory. Its great to have friends who share the same interest and whom you can have a laugh with and share the good and the bad times of life

Ooooh! So pretty! I love the creaminess and the newsprint. It's quite ancient looking and so homey too!
How nice to have an artsy day with friends! It's so much more fun if you can chat and visit while you create new things. :o)
What is the temperature where you are Lorraine? I can't imagine WANTING more heat!? We turn the AC on in April down here in Texas!
Sounds like a wonderful day Lorraine...nothing like sharing some arty play with like minded friends.
Your book is gorgeous...

Lovely pale and delicate. Fun to spend time with friends just playing.
Your collage is so beautiful. How wonderful to have friends to do art with once a week. I will have to see if I can round up a group sometime. That would be so much fun.

wow, this is gorgeous, I love the flower
The color scheme is great - I love the white/gesso look of it and the good "messiness" of it....and I mean that in the best way possible!!! :)
This is lovely. Thank you for your kind comment left on my blog.
