The Documented Life Project

I did a little bit of catching up on my art journal project. I'm still running behind but I managed to finish two more pages and start another.

June Theme
Travel Journaling
June 6
Art Challenge: Illustrative Art Journaling
Journal Prompt:  Take Me Away

I'm going to admit that this months theme has me a little lost. My version of travel is to work and back with a weekly trip to Wal-Mart thrown in.  I'm going to plug away at it and if the art challenge and journal prompts don't "speak" to me I'll just start and see where it leads me.

The first thing I thought of when I read the journal prompt was that old commercial for Calgon. I eventually ended up getting a really old song stuck in my head and that's what I used for this page.

I'm not much of an illustrator but I figured how hard is it to draw a moon and some wonky stars. Because I initially had the lyrics wrong I drew a swing. I thought it was "Let me swing among the stars" When I looked it up it was play but I already had the swing so I went with it.

The bird was a last minute addition because I had to have something sitting on the swing.

Thought for the day

Butt Shots

Does my title have you worried?  Well don't be. This really is a funny story.

It all happened when Gibbs and I were out for a walk. I grabbed his business bag and my cell phone and headed out the door. We started up the street and I put the bag in one back pocket and my phone in the other. We enjoyed a nice brisk walk and returned home to get a refreshing drink of water.

I took my phone out of my pocket and noticed that the camera was on. It was then that I realized that there were new pictures on it.

Apparently the camera turned on while it was in my pocket and I was taking pictures with my butt as I walked. There were 15 pictures in all. They were all pretty similar with varying stripes of white and black. It must have been the light going through the material that caused the white stripes.

Words of wisdom from Gibbs

Even if you've got a very busy day and your on the run, take a few minutes to stop and smell the roses.

If you can't find roses,  you may substitute any other flower you have available. Don't forget to sniff around the rocks too. There could be some good scents there. Have a wooftastic day my blogger peeps.
