“Hmph. I don’t see why you felt the need to buy me a new collar, Mom.” -Chaos, sulkily

Oh, maybe because he could get out of the old collar in two seconds flat and since his running out the door when my hands were full and I didn’t notice so he was hiding behind a fire door on the next floor up for nearly five hours last week, I feel he needs to always be wearing his collar.

Welcome back to Art Journaling Monday! 🙂 Another quietish art journaling week, as holiday stuff took its toll. Hopefully everyone’s having a good holiday season so far?

• The Sciences Sing.
• Migraines.
• Be kind.
• Scribble doodle from chalk pastel pencils.

“Can’t a girl get her beauty sleep without having to worry about her picture being taken?!” -Mayhem

(The furry bit along the bottom of the photo is Chaos.)

Welcome back to Art Journaling Monday! 🙂 Kind of a quiet art journaling week, actually. Two family birthday gatherings, my work holiday happy hour, my book making class, homework for my book making class, and wrapping presents all took their toll on my art journaling.

• Stamping silliness.
• Everything is magic.
• Venting.
• Things I have learned about the making of art.
• I like coffee.

Happy holidays if you’re celebrating one this week! 🙂

“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Chaos

I love when you can see the stealth tabby stripes on his face. 🙂
