The Challenge

Week 1

This week I was focusing on techniques - layering acrylic paint colors, watercolor, zen doodles, and some lettering.  I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do find it relaxing to sit and paint or doodle.  I prefer watercolor, but I'm trying to stretch myself and try other mediums.  This week I used acrylic, paint pen, and regular ink pen... and watercolor, too, of course.

I don't use my art journal as a "journal" per say.  Maybe in the future I will.  Right now it's just a place for me to try out different ideas and styles.

Are you art journaling this summer?

Project 52 - 2

Project 52 - Jan 6 - 12

So this week I did a couple of "projects."

1.  "Corndog muffins."

2.  Organized my jewelry. (post coming soon)

3.  Began organizing lipstick... this will be an ongoing process... (post coming soon)


"CORNDOG MUFFINS:"

- 1 Package Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Cornbread mix
- Hot Dogs or Sausage (I get the all-beef, all-natural kind)

Mix cornbread mix according to directions.  Scoop into muffin tins (I used paper liners).  Add pieces of sausage to each muffin.  I used about 3-4 pieces per muffin.  Bake according to directions.

The nice thing about these is you can freeze them and eat them later!  I froze a bunch and plan on using them for quick and easy breakfast-on-the-go!
