hey everyone! how’s your winter looking? those of us here in the north east are just about done with all this “feels like” nonsense on our weather aps. the bright side of weather too cold for human interaction is that i have plenty of time to watch netflix and work on my scrapbooks! they just don’t have many photos of people in them :/
my favorite part of this spread is the currently pencil transfer, done with tracing paper the way we learned in high school art class. i envisioned it in my head, knowing that i couldn’t run the paper through my printer and also that the triangle would shift and it would be a mess… and then inspiration struck and i just used that long lost skill. this was the week i started a shop for some of my work so i made a little collage of the product shots. journaling is typewritten on vellum strips on an image that holds some personal meaning for this time, but is not even close to my snow covered reality.
(press plate no. 40 and faves journaling cards)
the layout on the left was inspired by press plate 40, but i used a full 4×6 photo of a screenprinting failure as my journaling background. i sold one of my paintings to an acupuncturist in nyc and she is going to hang it in her office, so i quickly made a bunch of business cards for her and took their picture because i was so excited. the heart printed out on the map index paper is because the name of her business is called ‘radiant heart’.
the first week of february was so exciting because i completely manifested my dream sofa on craigslist. i was trying to rationalize how i could ever spend $1,500 on a couch, and like magic the exact one i wanted showed up for less than half the price. i enlisted my friend brandon to help me move it, which was an escapade, of course. i’ve been working on some new pieces for my shop so i snapped a pic of them all propped up on my shelves, in progress.
here i was feeling all emotional and reflective about all the changes that have happened since the new year. i feel like i’ve shed an unnecessary layer of myself, yet don’t quite know what lies ahead. it’s a weird time. i felt like the sabrina ward harrison page and quote were EXACTLY describing this time. having to bravely move forward, even though you don’t know where you’re going.
thanks for checking out my pages everyone! stay warm! and if you live in california, i am seething with jealousy. brrrrr.

Awesome work Kristi! LOVE these pages. I have a new 6×8 here and now feeling all inspired. And sending you warm sunny vibes from New Zealand (even though it rained this morning and now I have to worry about mosquitoes!).
*mind blown*
The taxpayer may claim the credit in years one through five for new quality jobs
created in year one and may continue to claim newly created new quality jobs through year seven and claim the credit on each of those new
quality jobs for five years. A virtual private network is
usually shortened to VPN, and you may have heard this term
if you’ve lived in a country that censors the Internet.
So it is not really wise to assume that such unlimited
web hosting plans are better than the typical limited ones.
