whimsical wednesday

"the ayes have it!" for whimsical wednesday! we're playing with words and symbols with I and eye in lieu of ayes. use pictures from magazines or stamps or drawn free hand. maybe make a greeting card with your I and/or eye. make up a silly joke with either or both. make a collage of the letter I and/or the eye. i thought about this making very little sense then decided this is whimsey; it doesn't have to make sense.  enjoy!

the letter I filled my art journal!

our whimsey-a-day journal year is closer to finished than to beginning! what's a whimsey-a-day journal? beginning january 1, 2016, we recorded one whimsical moment of each day. it's never too late to begin so start your whimsey-a-day journal today!

periodically, throughout the year, we have shared experiences from our whimsey-a-day journals. this is such a day.  on october 10th, i took an on-line quiz, "what should your name be?"  i took the quiz and the name i should have is sarah! that is my daughter's name. i shared the quiz with her to find out what her name should be. and her name should be sarah! amazing!

get ready.....

whimsical wednesday

we're getting it done for whimsical wednesday! we all put off those small tasks that we notice then think. "i'll do it later". later usually becomes never. for whimsical wednesday, just do it. if you are working on a project or whatever around the house, at work, wherever, something might come up. a small side job or something you notice that needs to be taken care of. just do it! keep track of your tasks. how many "just do it" tasks did you accomplish throughout the day? share your experience with the whimsey project.

from the reader's digest:

a restaurant sign proclaimed, KARAOKE TONIGHT! after reading the sign grandma asked, "what kind of fish is that?"
