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!
