Yesterday. Today. Holidays.

Yesterday Mr J and I shopped and ordered our wedding bands, bought a Christmas tree for a whopping thirteen dollars, treated ourselves to a doughnut to share and visited family for dinner. 

Today I jumped up early to assemble and decorate the Christmas tree. With no Christmas carols on CD, I listened to two hours of Glee's Christmas Mix on youtube. Quite good. I was greeted by at parcel at my door and I'm about to start my new book with a cup of tea, work a short shift and start planning this. Keeping my days filled. 

Holidays are giving me time to A) start a new book B) start making Christmas presents C) finalise wedding plans and D) drink lots of tea. This is great. 

Making Art

Yesterday and today I have been using my time to colour a canvas. I wouldn't classify myself as an artist but can say I'm a little closer now. Time well spent.

For this particular piece of art, all you need to do is pick a favourite quote, paint an undercoat, stick plastic/vinyl letters onto the dry undercoat, paint over everything in a solid colour, let it dry and peel off the letters to reveal your masterpiece.

Everyone should give this a try.
