Scrapbooking Saturday #3

Hello All ! Welcome Back!


September 1st

 I couldn't resist putting this song title on this paper, especially with the paper it's on. This was one of my favorite songs from the 60s (or 50s). I think there's two versions. Although, I am starting to rethink this as a favorite.

Some parts are Paper World, some are not

TMST #29: Favorite Blogs



Hello All !

This week's topic: 

How do you keep up with your favorite blogs?

My Answer: 

If it is a "Google Blogger" blog, I press the 'follow button'. With other, I either follow through Bloglovin (which I was just recently reminded of), or I use the email option.

Sunday Post #111: August 2024 Tells

 



Hello All !!! Happy September.

There were two TMST topics that I missed and wanted to answer. 

The first: Stars, Letter Grades, Nothing? How do you rate books? 

The best I am able to use at the moment is the  smiling emoji (😊). I considered using a capital 'C', but I didn't know if anyone would understand that choice. 

The second: How long have you been blogging? And has your blog changed over time?

I had this blog since June of 2016 . I didn't think I would have had it for this long. In fact, I thought I would have quickly forgotten about it. I most certainly hope that it changed (for the better).

Sunday Post #110: Possible New Feature


Hello All ! 

I am hoping to add a new feature to my blog.

So, I would see posts all through out my Instagram from an account called "PaperWrldShop". It is a journal/scrapbooking supply site. I would look at the posts lot. Then I looked through the supply collection on the site and put in my first order. I received that order on Friday.





The journal 





The washi tape


I plan for the feature to be weekly blog post of the journal entries for the week. If anyone knows of a similar weekly post, please let me know.

WWBC #32: Shopping and Sports


It's an odd combination, but I'll make it work.


July 10th = Do you enjoy shopping? why or why not?


Online shopping I actually do enjoy. It's like "Oh, someone sent me a gift".

As for in store, no. Especially not clothes shopping. I am probably the only woman in America that doesn't like shopping for clothes. It just feels like the security guards are watching from the cameras the whole time.


This week's topic: A sport I Want to Try

.... is Lacrosse

 and you know what? I am not really sure why.

TMST #28: Hobbies During the Pandemic

 


Hello All 

This topic I was looking forward to answering. I am also happy that I don't have to combine it with other topics.

This week's question/topic: Have you kept any hobbies that you started during the pandemic?

That is when I started with fluid painting. My first attempts were really ( how do I put this) not good. The biggest issue I had with it was the& consistency of the paint. I still have a problem with consistency. Only now it is with the result. I use the same tools, but I can't seem to get a one piece remotely to others.

For some of my fluidart pieces, search @sea_rose_touk_art on Instagram and for others pieces check out my Deviant Art page.


*** Until Next week....

WWBC #31: Museums and Social Media



Hello All !  I missed one topic that I wanted to answer, as I've done other times, I am adding it to this week's topic.

May 29th: Museums/Galleries I've Visited/Want to Visit 

On multiple occasions I have visited The Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn, MI) and The DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts). I recommend both places.

One particular museum I would like to visit is Chicago's Field Museum.


This week: My Thoughts on Social Media

If I was asked this a year ago, I would have answered that social media could have been a blessing. Now, I am going with it is (more often than not) toxic. Of course, that is not the fault of the tool itself.


Until next week...

TMST #27: June 2024 Tells


Hello All !

Except for the 11th, each answer is a short one. So I just decided to combine the topics. 


 6/4: What outdoor activities do you like to do in the spring/summer?

I mostly enjoy barbecues and bonfires. I would say going to the beach, but that is rare.


6/11: Have your reading interests changed over time?

In elementary school, I liked to read Babysitters Club books and Goosebumps. During Highschool, I didn't like to read unless I Had had no choice. Now, I like to read romance novels. So I guess the short answer would be  ..... "No" ? 😁 

6/25: Mid-Year Check-In: What books have you loved so far in 2024?)

I am kind of being picky about what I add to my favorites. So far, I don't have any favorites this year. If you would like to see what books are on my favorite shelf ---- > Goodreads Favorites


Until next time....

Sunday Post #106: Happy May



Hello All ! 

There are a couple small topics for this week.


Thoughts? Feelings?

For my latest fluidart piece, please take a look at my Deviantart

📰 📰 📰 📰 📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰

In my Archive of Our Own, I added For Me. I have other fanfiction stories ---> Fanfiction.net

📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰📰

I would like to explain why I have the comments monitored. It is definitely (and admittedly so) not that I get so many. It is simply because when that feature (or option) was not in place, I would get a lot of spam comments.

WWBC #29: Double Topic Week

 



It has been a while since I posted for the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. I actually wanted to answer last week's topic but obviously I missed it. So I thought that I would do this week. 

Last week's topic: Books on my TBR list the Longest 

I was able to clear my to be read list this past November. I believe, however, that the book on it the long was "Game Breaker (Portland Storm, #9)" by Catherine Gayle. I had wanted to read it since August of 2016 and finally did so in April of 2023. Of course I started a new TBR list in January. Thankfully, it is not as long.


This week's topic: A Moment I Wish Could Relive

I would like to relive each of my sisters' weddings. The four events were unique, mainly because of the venues, but still. I guess, if I could only pick one, it would be my eldest sister's wedding. She had to set the date three times and it just seemed it should have lasted longer.

Until next week...

(And I do mean next week 😂)

TMST #25: Travels


 Hello. Here is my "tell"  for this week. 

The topic/question is Where would you like to travel?


I would like to travel to Ireland. First Dublin because it is the national capital , and then where ever my ancestors are from. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover where that would be. As for a more realistic answer, I would like to travel the Continental United States.


Until next week.....
