Simplest Things Journal

I added a few new pages to my Simplest Things Journal before taking my break. I had 4 similar tiles and wanted to make them a home in my journal. These first two were quite interesting. I kept waffling the idea of merging the two designs, I twirled and flipped and flipped and twirled the tiles until I came up with this layout.

I ended up extending the patterns from the tiles into the journal to make them look like they merged into one. I thought it turned out pretty cool looking. So I did a similar design with the next two tiles shown below. Although these two weren’t merging I extended the design from the tiles into the journal. Plus I didn’t want to cover up all the sparkly glitter ✨

Well I’m off taking and taking a much needed break but I’ll be back after the holidays.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and all the Best for the coming New Year!!! Thank you so much for your love support, it means the world to me!!!

Lots of hugs,

Maria

As you know I’m a collector of inspiring quotes and came across this quote by Marilyn Monroe which is featured on one of my watercolor art journaling pages. It’s a gentle reminder to be true to yourself and be uniquely you as only you can be!

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ~Marilyn Monroe

I’m working on finishing the last of the ornaments and getting them into my Etsy Shop. The latest addition is ‘Home Sweet Home’ (pictured above). This was painted on a 3×4 inch canvas and is hung with ribbon. It’s a very happy painting and is one of my favorites.

I also recently added ‘Baby it’s cold outside!’ shown in the video below. This ornament is painted on a 4×4 inch canvas with an adorable little snowman just outside the door⛄

I’ll let you know when I add more but these are included in the ongoing sale.

I’ve been working on ornaments and I’m going to toot my horn here, because I think they’re turning out really cute😊 There are so many steps involved in creating just one ornament from the painting itself, to the photographs, to creating the video and getting it all up on Instagram and my Etsy Shop. But it’s wonderful when it all comes together!😅

This is the video for “the Wonder of Christmas” and I thought it turned out pretty nice, but what do you think?

Both ornaments, “Making Spirits Bright” and “The Wonder of Christmas” are now available in my Etsy Shop if you’re interested. Stay tuned for more details on an Exclusive Offer which will be announced here and available only to you!

I’m a collector of inspiring quotes and came across this one which I wanted to share with you. I added it to one of my abstract paintings with bold autumn colors. It’s a motivating quote that rings so true:

“Your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.” ~Unknown

You can set all the goals you want but if your heart’s desire isn’t in it, if you can’t envision your dream or get discouraged after a few bumps in the road you can bet your bippy, you won’t be successful at it.

Hope this inspires you in some way today. Thanks for stopping by!!

I’m busy creating fun whimsical ornaments in what is now the official “Santa’s Workshop” as indicated by this sign (shown above) which hangs on my studio door🎄 I’m adding fun phrases to these 4×4 inch canvas ornaments and thought I’d ask for your advice. For the first two I used “making spirits bright” and “the Wonder of Christmas.” But the other two still need a fun phrase. So make sure to cast your vote for each in the comments section below!
