So today, I'm hitting two birds with one stone. Aimee over at Artsyville has started Glue it Tuesdays. Yeah for glue! It's fun to sniff... I kid. Uhu doesn't smell. I recently was gifted about 200 home decor magazines via freecycle.org. So I've been making my way through the zines page by page, cutting and tearing, and laughing hysterically at tacky '80s style home decor. Chintz and lace... you should be shot. *** Side note, if you have never heard of freecycle.org, check it out, sign up, and don't blame me for the addiction, its a useful tool for decluttering, it also enable collecting at the same time, you've been warned*** Also, I've been enjoying myself over at Artists in Blogland, they have a monthly feature entitled Colour this Quote. See Linky button over there ---------->. March's quote is by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Write on your heart that every day is the best day of the year." So I sat down at my journal, glue stick and quote in hand, and went to it. As I was happily cutting, pasting, drawing, and stamping, I was reflecting on the quote. After the day I had yesterday, hence forward known as F@#K IT Monday, I realised that yes, Monday was sucky, and will always be sucky, but there was goodness there too. I was able to skype with a dear friend, create some art, laugh with kids (when I wasn't yelling at them), and work further on Random Art of Kindness. So yesterday, I have written in my heart as the best F@#K IT Monday ever! Come what may, I will endeavour to remember that although there inevitably will be other days like Monday, every day that I'm surrounded by my Krazy family, alive and breathing is the best day of my year. Until next time!
Stay safe and Love yourself,
De-cluttering? what's that? :) I heard about glue it tuesday and hopefully will be able to take part next week.Glad your Monday was full of some joy, great quote, It is a very good thing to write on your heart, and I shall endeavour to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI love that what you have written on your heart will be delivered by airmail : )

adorable collage! love the colors. and I love UHU. little hands often take off with mine, though, and I'm stuck with the Elmer's disappearing purple.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the idea of hundreds of magazines from Freecycle--what amazing collage fodder. But I hear your warning...I do NOT need to go there! Fun collage! (UHU's my first choice too!)
ReplyDeleteI had a great Monday - I took the day off! Sorry, just had to tell... I have to go by Freecycle and see what it's all about, along with Artists in Blogland. And I love your collage! {:-Deb
ReplyDeleteYay! Here's to Mondays off!!! Have fun on free cycle!!!
DeleteLove your attitude and your collage. And I'm glad you had Emerson's quote handy to help you write your shifted perspective of Monday on your heart. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how just the the right words fell into my lap when I needed to hear them most! Thank you universe!
DeleteOH WOW, LOVE your mixed media collage!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marit for visiting!!!
DeleteI love this page, have already told you, but wanted it logged here! I am so, so happy you found joy in your F@#K It Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collage!
ReplyDeleteLove this page, how funny you were talking about UHU - yesterday I went out to pick up a UHU glue stick and could not find any in the shops! Insanity. Apparently it is a minor supply problem...this is why I stock up on art supplies!
ReplyDeletereally nice page and using the stamps is such a great idea. I have to remember to start collecting them:) Your sketch of the human heart is so good.
ReplyDeleteHi Fran! Thanks for stopping by. I save all my stamps from the envelopes of ATC's that get send to me. I was also gifted from a lovely woman a bunch of stamps from around the world. I was absolutley astounded! So gorgeous!
