Mandarin Orange Monday

This collage is my entry for Mandarin Orange Monday.

Fall Fearless and Fly

Here is my entry for Fall Fearless and Fly. 

Headline Prompt:  Triumphs and Defeats:  What do you see as your greatest triumphs or defeats?  What have they taught you?  Which have you learned more from?
Color Prompt:  Black and white
Quote Prompt: Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

I just used the color prompt.

Paint Party Friday for October 26

This is my entry for this week's PPF. I am posting a page from my mini-journal.

SoArtful - Harvest Moon

Shine On Harvest Moon is a song I learned as a child and heard sung in movies when I was growing up. I just found that it is an old song, dating back to the Ziegfield Follies of 1908. This is my entry for So Artful Challenges.

Mandarin Orange Monday

Here is where I live. This photo is not this year. I doubt we will have the vivid reds and oranges, but the yellow hickory nut trees are looking good! This is my MOM emtry.

Paint Party Friday

These are my mini-journal pages I made for PPF and Art Journal Journey.

The text is from Lamentations 3:22-23 and says:

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."

Fall Fearless and Fly #2

The second challenge for Fall Fearless and Fly has these prompts:

Headline Prompt:  Taking a Chance:  When did you take a chance or a leap of faith?  How did it turn out?  What did you learn?
Color Prompt:  What color do you like least? Use it!
Quote Prompt:  "Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase -- that's what wild geese are for." Anonymous

I ignored the headline prompt since I am not a risk-taker.

I used yellow, one of my least favorite colors. I like almost all others a lot.

And I used the quote over a photo of my backyard and a googled goose.

Edit: I realize now that this sounds as if I never take a leap of faith. Our marriage 55 years ago was certainly one of those leaps. We had barely enough money to get across the country from Tennessee to my husband's navy assignment in California. There have been many opportunities to take chances over the years.
