Weekly Roll- Art in the Park

This one is going to be a bit different. We spent most of the week preparing for Art in the park. It was our first time doing a craft show. We had a giant coin flag, wood laser ornaments and laser slate and wood coasters, bullet flags and laser flags. We learned a lot. We broke our borrowed pop up but fixed with wood. Luckily home was just a few minutes away.

We got set up and I think it looked good but then the wind picked up and so we had to rearrange. Some vendors just packed up on Friday afternoon/evening. 

We were set up next to Over the Top Desserts out of Roswell. She sold bougie cookies (like crumbl but better).  Some our profits went to our cookie addiction.

There were lots of wood crafts, 3-D printed items, lots of food. Plus Cake walk sponsored by band, live music, Petting Zoo with a camel, Face Painting, Food trucks and Hair Tinsel etc. 

Ghost Junk/Art Journaling Era

 Yes, I made another ghost page.  I haven't gotten over my security envelope era either. I cut up security envelopes into ghost shapes. The idea came from this Instagram.

What I Read October

I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone is reading. My reading this month was about balance between dry and light reading.

 The Summer I Turned Pretty By Jenny Han

I watched the Prime Video series and decided to try the books.  This book is the first in the series. It was a good easy read. I look forward to reading the other 2 books in the series. I enjoy YA books

Listening to the Law by Amy Coney Barrett

This was my book club book.  First, I have no allegiance to or against Amy Coney Barrett. I think I read this with a pretty open mind.  We all have some thoughts, and I pretty much tabbed this book out. Where the book is more a memoir, I enjoy it better.  It has some dry chapters. I did learn something about the inner workings of the supreme court.  I think we as Americans we have a poor understanding of the role of the Supreme Court and the limitations of the court. 

Our book club got a chance to have a Zoom. with Amy Coney Barrett. This is probably as close as I will ever get to a Supreme Court Justice. It was a neat opportunity.  This was Sharon McMahon's Governerds book club.

Collage/Junk Journal Ghosts

 

I guess this is a mixed media art page.  I am not an expert. I cut out ghosts of magazines, outlined in white crayon, then watercolored the background.   It just was a fun project to get the creative juices going.

Can see really well because the dead tree was finally removed from the backyard neighbors

yard.

Frank is back again this year. He is looking good. I still feel like he is peeping. I can see him from my bedroom window.

Don't if the photo below is the same homeowners. We had a giant pumpkin peeping.
