My first blog post. I was at Michael's and was tempted by the holiday coloring display, I ended up getting three holiday books- this is from the Creative Haven Christmas Trees book. I decided to do it in non-traditional colors to avoid using up my greens. It didn't scan well, it's hard to tell but there are two shades of orange- the darker one is really red and the darker brown is more maroon than it looks.

Oh this is another neat one with "nontraditional" colors.   I like it!

What books did you get?

I find it hard to look at a tree and not think "green," but your tree and the super colorful tree that @fascinated posted the other day will hopefully inspire me next time I am faced with a tree :)

This is cool, but what is it with scanning and photographing our pages that makes it so hard to reproduce the actual colors?  I'd like to see this page in the colors Bethella says it really is!

Me, too. There's not really a hint of maroon that I can see. It's a bummer.  It looks great though, regardless. Here's another with just a few different colours!  Great first picture post, @Bethella.

What did you colour this with?  I'm thinking that pencils seem to scan/photograph more realistically than the gel pens?

I know that the photos of my pages done with markers don't look the same on this site as they do on my computer/camera. I try to adjust them digitally to match the actual page and sometimes I think I make them look worse! The original page always looks a lot better.

In addition to the Christmas Tree book I got the Creative Haven Christmas Mandala and Snowflake Mandala books. I have a couple of the snowflakes nearly done that should get posted in the next day or two.

This was done with the regular Sakura gel pens except for the yellow which is a Sakura glaze pen.

      Pearls 2: Michael, Shoshanna, et al

      Or she's pretending to be a born again virgin for social media (and her parents) while they've been making the beast with two backs for months.

      And it was $803, right? For 10 kids and probably the parents as well! At 4 meals out, including two desserts, and a movie (I'm not counting their gifts/toys because they were Dollar store crap) $67 per head is cheap. 80 if the parents' expenses weren't included or the two youngest weren't getting anything.

      She thinks it’s a brag. Like look at all this money we spent on the kids! But that’s not much per child. Most people in the US spend more than that per child at Christmas. Karissa doesn’t understand that she doesn’t spend much money or time on EACH child. She’s like wow! 800 bucks! That would be a ton of money spent in my family of four for a yes weekend. But for 12 people? Nope. Having child after child means each child gets less. That’s all there is to it. That’s basic elementary school math.

      As per usual with Karissa, she talks about how much it cost and how they are normally good stewards of their money.

      Today we have Eric at Shoshanna's house, yet again working on home improvements. Guess she's still stringing him along despite her poem about not falling in love with the new man in her life. Maybe for her it's all about making a statement to James, who she's insinuated wasn't handy with home improvements. It seems to me like a twisted relationship either way.

      Bontragers/Bowers/Helferichs 13: In the Middle of Jesus’ First Relationship

      Man, when I was married for 20 days life was grand.  Now I've been married 10 years and we have actually got a pretty good handle on life together but it still requires communication and some effort - and we are truly content.  Good luck, I don't think they have any idea what marriage means yet.
