A lot of the shops seem to have gone Black Friday crazy and it's only Thursday!
We weren't there long - just a quick wander around looking for Christmas present ideas! We had a coffee and then headed to M and S for something easy for tea! I have been looking for a new coat for ages and as we came up the escalator I saw MY coat! Vouchers in purse, it didn't cost me much at all! I'm just hoping I don't see it in a sale before Christmas!!!
I made a very quick page for Art Journal Journey before we went out, although I had prepped the page last night with some scraped on gesso!
This morning I sprinkled it with Paper Artsy Infusions and after it had dried I wiped it over with a damp cloth to remove most of the infusions from the gessoed parts.
The boy is dressed for snow - which has just started to fall!
I hope that our friends farther North don't have too much snow, although it is forecast for tomorrow
Thank you all for the support you are giving for my '101 ways To Keep Warm' theme!
Thanks for looking, Chris

I bet if this boy is a skier he's been waiting for the season to change and waiting impatiently for snow. Looks like he's finally got it on your page Chris. :) Happy end ofthe week. Hugs-Erika

What a wonderfully frosty page Chris! Love your technique withe the tree stamp to create the different sizes of trees. The background is amazing, gives me the feeling of a cool windy winter day. No snow here yet, haven't even seen any ice form on the squirrel's water dish. hugs :)
A really fantastic winter scene you achieved such a vintage snow feeling -absoltely appropriate to the sky boy and clever made with the tree stamp! Enjoy your new coat! Happy Friday dear Chris and thank you for hosting with such enthusiasm this month!
You make me just happy!

My keyboard is still not working. Stopped by to let you know I was here and to wish you a beautiful Thursday. I have a battery powered cleaner (like air in a can, but no cold mess). It's not the keys, it's happened before. Scott has one exactly like mine and it acts the same way. You just have to wait for it to correct itself.
Chris, I have really missed visiting with you, but wanted to pop by to thank YOU for the lovely Thanksgiving visit yesterday! It warmed my heart! And now to pop over here to see this gorgeous journal page, I am doubly blessed! Your background is lovely and does remind me of the chill of those dark cold winter days we used to have up north. In fact it reminds me of the weather we had yesterday, albeit no snow! Gorgeous work, as always, sweet girl! Hugs!
A fab wintry page Chris! Xx
Gorgeous page, looks so cold. We've been threatened with snow over the weekend, I hope they are wrong. Hugs, Valerie
What a wonderful page! I love the way you created the background with the Infusions and white gesso - amazing 😁. Wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊
Great winter scene. I can imagine how he's been watching for that snow. We get less snow here in Memphis than we used to, and we never got much. We'd have to travel a distance to ski.
