Ephemera's Vintage Garden: Now Playing - 'How I Use My Junk Journals'

Ephemera's Vintage Garden: Now Playing - 'How I Use My Junk Journals': Hello lovelies! Junk journals have been very popular for a few years now but many crafters are still baffled about how to create them or e...

Hello! 

Welcome back...or if this is your first time here, Welcome and glad to have you! :) 

I was thinking the other day how much I enjoyed writing, doing crafts, etc...and came up with the conclusion that I was just going to have to do something about it!  And thus, this blogger was formed. 

I am hoping in the near future to start posting projects, activities that are going on around in my neighborhood and so forth...and just make this as fun and as informative a blog that it can be. 

Starting on the 30th of January, I will be hosting a Pre-Valentine's Day ATART ATHON in a on-line group that I  have joined, back in August 2014.  It is called  ATCsForAll .  The people there are great and very caring and helpful and I have felt like I was "one of the gang" from day one!  So if you get a chance and your interested in art of any kind...it's a good place to check out. 

Also in the future, I have a project on the agenda to re-purpose an armoire and convert it into a art supply cabinet.  We live in a small apartment, and although our room is quite big, it is still a little cluttered around my art area even when it is neat and tidy! :D   Imagine how it is when I am creating! lol

Also, I am hoping to add some tidbits here and there, quotes that I feel especially uplifting, Make-up tips for us older ladies...( and younger ones too) I find that a lot of the sites for direction in this category tend to lean towards the younger ladies...where as, I am 51 and when you reach this age...your skin tends to need a different daily routine then when you were 21. 

I have a friend that writes some wonderful and beautiful things at times, and I am  hoping with his permission will be able to share some of that with you all here from time to time. ( I am still trying to get him to write a book) So believe me, that is really something to look forward to.  

Here is a added tidbit for now, and I hope to be back tomorrow with more and in the future will be adding some video ( instruction) to some of the crafts I do.  

1. My interpretation of a "Mandrake root" ( I do not normally draw, new to me, so bare with me! :D )

Number 2 and 3: A gnome I drew for a ATC ( Artist Trading Card) for someone in the group,and the second one there is a altered picture I did of a snow Queen...I do not know the original artist or I would give credit where credit is due. :)   

Stay tuned...stay well...and above all...stay happy!

What is my intentions of starting a blog  you might ask?  Well, I hope to bring information and helpfulness to those that are interested in the same things that I am.  For example, I hope to bring interesting, helpful, entertaining information on crafts, health and beauty,  cleaning tips, DIY projects and there is just no telling what I will come up! 

So kick back, put your feet up...grab your cup of tea...coffee...or drink of choice, and enjoy! :)
