The Friday Girls
Well, another "longish' story here! When I closed Stamptacular in 2004 my life changed. No more pouring over catalogs, preparing classes, doing one last demo card, hurrying out the door and just hitting the brakes at 10:00am. Usually. Changes are good, but that change was really quiet. The one thing that has been constant for the past 4 years is that Emily and I do Fridays. What a blessing. We draw, stamp, cut, color, shop, did I say shop? Okay, we always eat. Sometimes (almost every week) we argue over the state of the world. 
When I set up The Artistic Avenues Emily helped me, she watches my dogs when we leave, she and I are friends on Fridays....So this week we found our 'niche'. We are now the Friday Girls and from now on we are going to journal and make art on Fridays.
This is Emilys. It says we are trying to think of something "profound". We started this because we wanted to practice the lettering, then couldn't think of anything to say!
Here is mine... The Good Girls who sometimes well.... Call me on Fridays!
We used Golden Paints,dry brushed and squished (very painterly), we collaged pieces of paper and text. Then we tried to think of something to say and fit it all in somewhere!
I am addicted! This is one half page in my journal. Keeping the Friday Girls Happy. Must leave now and go buy some pens!

The inside graphics are just as good as you can see. There are coats for $19.90 and dresses for $2.90. Very cool. Did I mention that the ribbon was lovely....
