ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 5

Welcome to Week 5 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week, was a mixed bag. Arting was up and sewing was down.  My goal for the week was to finish up my Junk Journal January challenge.  Did that happen?

Let's take a look at how my week played out...

SUNDAY - ProjectQUILTING 15.2 Sky Color

The morning began with some art time at Get Messy.  That was followed by lunch, which was followed by my weekly Zoom call with Knittingsuek:

Before dinner, I decided to try my hand at coffee dying to decorate the GRUNGY page for Junk Journal January:

MONDAY - Work...

Was followed by a family celebration:

TUESDAY - Sick Day  :o((

This was the view from my bed when I woke from my morning nap...

And here was the view as I settled in for an afternoon nap:

If you know me, you know that I am NOT a napper.  That tells you something about how I felt today.  For those of you who care to know, I had another gall bladder attack last night.  The 2nd in 3 months and the time before that (the one that sent me to the ER) was in October of 2022.  I'm not sure when the first one occurred, but I'm thinking it must have been at least 5 years ago.  Yes.  I will be scheduling an appointment with a specialist.

WEDNESDAY - Work

I'm enjoying the mental challenge that this new-to-me game provides.  If I win once a week, I feel like I'm lucky:

I went straight home afterwards to prepare for my weekly Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:

THURSDAY - Work

After work, I took pastries to Tracy's house and knit for a while:

FRIDAY - The stars finally aligned for Knit Group and a day off at the same time.  We even met at my favorite coffee shop, but either I forgot to take a group photo, I missed the button and neglected to check how the photo turned out, or I accidentally deleted the photo I took:

I had a laundry list of errands after knitting.  The first stop at the local used bookstore yields this beauty from 1957, I believe:

After dinner, I started on my next Altered Book Journal during my weekly TGI(A)W hangout with my Get Messy Friends.  A slim Reader's Digest Condensed Book purchased earlier in the day will be fun to work in.  Britt and I remained on Zoom for a little bit to chat once the meeting was over:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.  The Color of the Month for February is RED.  I just MIGHT have a FEW scraps to play with:

I enjoyed two art Zoom sessions today.  The Opening of the Season of the Journal was bright and early this morning.  If you look carefully at the page shown below, you can see the notes I took during the session:

This afternoon, during the Welcome Party for new members to The Roben's Nest, I completed the next step of the prep work for my new altered book journal:

Yes. I was wearing RED for the new Color of the Month.  And, if you are like Preeti, you might spy some wine RED nails.  :P

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!
