Peas Be Kind! Spread Hap-pea-ness!

 I've been really enjoying my twist on Teesha Moore's Zetti-dolls. My photo portrait has been run through a Photo Booth App and printed out in black and white. I think it makes the whole thing pop! And then I'm recycling the paper labels from food packaging and other small paper ephemera and then finding sayings that match the dresses. One of my new friends at YouTube, "Twisted Art Designs" suggested that I add in flourishes, which I have done here, along with pretty transparent butterfly wings that I purchased at the Dollar Tree as stickers and cut in half to glue to Dolly's shoulder blades. You can't tell it in the photo, but they have glitter on them and they really shine. If you want to see my other zetti-dolls, click here for album. 

The next best thing about October's Positivity Journal video is that I participated in a Swap and Glue challenge and created an art journal page with what I was sent. I need to learn to cut out the long pauses and out-of-frame shots, but it's a process video, so went with what I had taped. My other new friend on YouTube named "Possum Patty from Pencil-vania" has been coaching me. She said at first it really feels strange to be talking to nobody, but after awhile, you get used to it. 😃 The other problem I have and have always had, I think I've mentioned it before here, is being able to think quickly under pressure. Need a script in the ole noggin' before I tape. 

Well, here's my text for my October section of my Positivity Journal. En-JOY! (Oh, and by the way, I have a new JOY video up too!)

SCRIPTURES:

Psalm 39:3 = my heart grew hot with me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue. 

Psalm 48:9 = With your temple, O God, we meditated on your unfailing love.

Psalm 77: 3 = I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated and my spirit grew faint.

Psalm 77: 6= I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditates and my spirit asks; 

GOOD MEMORIES:

Every Friday was my Oklahoma Grandma's hair-do day. She and grandpa would get up early and head into town after breakfast and morning chores were done. She would visit the hairdresser and get her hair gussied up, then they would go to the El Rancho restaurant in town to buy lunch. Sometimes they would stop to visit her brother and his family for a couple of hours or go pick up groceries or whatever they needed in town. I got to go shopping with them several times, so I pretty much knew the routine. Then they would head home which was about 18-20 miles from town.

Grandma loved flowers and had them planted in her yard around the house. She especially liked irises. 

Went with my Oklahoma Grandpa and cousin to a circus once in Amarillo, Texas. It was a LONG drive and mostly what I remember was the parade of the performers and animals at the beginning of the show. It was the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
