I’m going to miss this one. 
Hope Ian lets you guys hang!
I’ll join if I’m awake. I hope any of you near hurricanes are staying safe and dry!!

I’ll be there as long as we are not under a tornado warning. It will be a nice distraction from the rain and bad weather!

Ooh, that’s pretty.
should we postpone the art journal zoom? Maybe try again in a couple of weeks?
Are you doing ok? We are fine here on the coast…a beautiful weekend. How many are signed up? I could do next weekend as well and use tomorrow to clean up the trash and debris in our yard and driveway…I just don’t have the energy to do it today. I can go either way…
I’d love to but I foolishly mentioned I might be able to finish some fabric gift bags for a charity bazaar & then Rob told the coodinator so now I’m committed. I’d watch along with you all but not sure that’s really the intention. Plus, my sewing machine whirring along could get distracting, lol.

Yeah we are fine here. the wind got a bit scary at times but it wasn’t too bad. all the rain drove in the freaking waterbugs / roaches. UGH. At least Spot kills them.
There is some minor damage in my complex but I live in a townhome so it’s up to the HOA company to fix them. Like one of my downspouts tore off, the street signs coming into the complex are down, etc.
Only @jemimah signed up so lets just reschedule. I can’t do next weekend but maybe the weekend after. I have plenty of other stuff I can get done and Jemimah can sleep in!

Good to hear! We are having our gutters replaced by the landlord…he has been sitting on this for a few weeks, but now, as rain soaks in along the foundation, maybe he will do it! And yeah…the waterbugs are being caught by my cats. We had to capture a little skink that got in as well.
OK…I have a few things to get done as well tomorrow…

Wow, you are all living the life. Glad to hear the storm damage was minimal. My uncle in South Carolina had car damage by a falling tree but I don’t know how bad. Florida cousins are all okay. Take care all!

Glad to hear you guys are doing OK!
Thanks for the sleep in - I think I needed it, as I’ve been out of action with covid for the last several days. I’ll look forward to an art session when we reschedule

Oh no! I hope you’re better quickly. Sending you light & love & virtual hot soup!
I just saw this good art journal prep video, interesting techique of tearing out & pasting together pages. I could see myself watching her other videos, she’s a great teacher.

I really like her videos. I stumbled across her videos a few weeks ago. She’s very soothing and does a great job walking you through her process.
I do the tear out half the pages and glue 2 pages together. I’ve never done 3. I will try that with my next one. I usually use collage pauge or matte medium. me and glue sticks never work out.

I like ShanoukiArt too - yes, her voice and manner are very soothing to watch and listen to.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend @jemimah. Perfect excuse to watch videos and think up new stuff!
