….well, more or less!!!
I must tell you how honoured and excited I am to be asked back to Art Journal Journey as a guest host once again! Thank You Susi!
As Winter draws near(we are back to dark evenings here in the UK) I have chosen ‘101 Ways To Keep Warm’ as my theme.
I have in mind cosy nights in, warm clothing, hot drinks and food, sheep and other woolly animals, exercise(if you must!!!),
candles, anything that gives you a warm glow(I think Hygge might be the term now)!
In the UK it is very nearly Bonfire night which is on the 5th November and the song 'Keep The Home Fires Burning' always reminds me of Armistice Day on the 11th November.
That brings me to the whole range of warm colours too!
That brings me to the whole range of warm colours too!
I also spattered some ink too! The mug and mitts image was a freebie which I stamped onto some freezer paper - I used water colours to colour it. I mounted it onto some inked book paper along with a ripped tag that was stamped randomly and a scrap from my desk and added some steam with a white pen. The sentiment is from another of Lynn Brown's sets.
I hope that between us we can find 101 ways to keep us warm this Winter. I am looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your ideas on how to keep warm!
Thanks for looking, Chris

Exactly how I am feeling right now! A mug with warm tea sounds amazing. I love your page and the soft color palette and that delicate background! So pretty!

Love your theme of keeping warm, I've just got in after a fun night with our Wednesday group watching a chocolatier making gorgeous chocs and we did get to sample them too. Lovely image of the mitts round a mug, I think it's hot chocolate !

A great idea for this month!!! Thank you. <3
It is not yet very cold here in Germany at the moment but there sure are to come colder and above all very wet and grey days.
Your mug of hot tea or maybe what we call "Gluehwein" (spiced hot red wine) will be very welcome then.
Thanks for your prompt and lovely page.
