'Tis the Season

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.

      Katie is just 20 weeks. She definitely announced Hailey’s name a few weeks/month after announcing the sex. Esther and Nathan announced them both at the same time though.

      I have no evidence to support this, but I've wondered if the larger anonymous donations are from family members who just can't give up on them because - - family. 

      Maybe Ryann's family contributed the $1000.  Ryann seems to get along with their family better than Artemis does with theirs.

      I saw the threads for her and read a few of them last year maybe. I had never seen her on social media. When I went and looked at her Instagram I could immediately see why everyone hates her, she's so full of her self. 
       

      This Mamas House is another one I cannot stand anymore. 

      Rooted in Rest recently did a video on how their family just thrives on being busy and everyone loves it and she still gets a three course meal on the table for 9 every night. Not once in that video did she mention her sister, father and husband all helping out in various forms during the week. I'm also just over the dance mom shtick. I don't understand why anyone would pay such substantial amounts for their kids to be in competitive sports. 

      I admit I am against that type of thing for my family. Like travel sports or dance competitions where you travel all over the place. I don’t thrive on being busy and neither do my children. I see so many kids who are overly busy and I can’t help but feel bad for them. When are they ever bored? Being bored can be a good thing for kids.

      If this woman bothers you, don’t ever go to the m is for mama thread. She’s insufferable, overprivileged, and completely out of touch.

      It amuses me at times when these women are so oblivious to how many advantages they have and start talking about how they overcame their hardships. Sure Jan, you overcame all odds.
