They made sepalene That's probably not how you pronounce that just why I I will put a recipe link down below They don't add the vitamin C to the potatoes and they only use pork, but the recipes down there I'd be interested to know if you all have some Traditional family Easter recipes and if you do, what are they? Anyway, we're gonna go home now. I've already done today's drawings and stuff, but you know, I'll be back with you tomorrow morning So it's 10 38 a.m. Monday, April 18th, and I am upstairs editing the vlog and All of that stuff.

I need to run including checking on the P. O. Box and that I need to Will not need to well I need to get a few things at Walmart and I need to return something to Walmart and then I need to know I want to Hit a couple thrift shops, so we're gonna do all of that this morning I think the first thing we're gonna do is hit goodwill because it's on the way Hit goodwill go to goodwill because it's on the way. It's like the first stop Then we'll go to the P. O. Box and value village because it's right next door Then we'll go to Walmart and then we'll go maybe to the United Gospel Thrift We'll see how I feel after all of that and help people doubt I long since home and My new shirts are laundered and hanging up to dry lunch has been consumed. I got the moody Monday mood board from my Facebook art group Created I got my personal copy printed. I got some Artwork oh well photos that I took at my brother's wedding and then manipulated it with a couple of different photo apps Printed and I'm gonna redo my Painting inspiration board over here and take these two need to come down that one's gonna stay and then these are gonna go up there I'll show you what I'm done and You can hear my computer going off because there's an arty friends chat going on and I have chores to do, but I don't want to so there's that I'll be back. The book is updated Just done in a composition notebook. Anyway, I got the new one for a life of art and Blah blah blah the new one for a life of art and self-expression printed and put in there I also had this month's for arty trio. Well, the end of this month It's actually for me and then I've already done the June one. So I printed those two out also and stuck them in there I have an extra extra one for the Facebook group A life group. I'm gonna stick that like there and do something with it later I Also got an extra dictionary at the thrift shop. It's you can see the red book like Highly record, but I'll put that away and I still have to do that mood board. So Still avoiding chores because you know Who wouldn't all right, I'll be it is Thursday April 21st. It's about 10 30 a.m. I Have had kind of a slow morning, but I'm not mad at it I've got my computer work done. I have one more thing to do on the computer. I just now just remember it as I'm vlogging and Then I want to get started on the canvas. That's on my easel today and Those are my top priorities today other than grocery shopping after Hubby gets off of work tonight. We're gonna go do that tonight And I need to message the kids and see who's coming for family dinner tomorrow. So Yeah, all right I'm gonna make my bone broth and my take my supplements and then we'll get started. Maybe I have to say I love where that's going Is it done? I don't think so it needs a little bit more contrast But we need to let this layer dry, but I do love where it's going again. Those are the inspiration That's the original inspiration photo. Those are the two Altered versions. Anyway, I do like where it's going It needs some highlights and maybe a few lowlights, but again, we've got to let this dry anyway, I also found six six seven jars of golden fluorescent acrylics which I haven't used in a really long time and If they're not dried up, they probably stink. So I need to either use them up or Something after lunch. I'm gonna eat first Um, so yeah, so we're gonna go downstairs. We're gonna let this dry We'll come back to it in a day or two. It's consumed now. We're gonna take all of these golden fluorescent acrylics and combine them if they haven't gone off so Any paint especially acrylic paint if it's been open for a while and you haven't used it up and it starts to stink Usually because there's some mold involved and the paint has gone off and you're not supposed to keep using it You're supposed to toss it out. I am not looking forward to this But we're gonna see if any of these are smelly and if they are we're gonna let them go because I never used them I've had them Six years and I've maybe used them twice So all right next time if I decide to get me these smaller jars and just like one or two colors because I Don't need more than that. All right, I'll be back. So I have a counseling appointment in like Six minutes I Was working on some art therapy real quick before set appointment I was working on this painting as I showed you yesterday. I really like where this is going. I really need to maybe Move things around in this corner a little bit because really like for the Like board or palette that I'm using to be like right here So I may actually move the bookshelf with paint on it, but I put all my brushes and stuff I may actually move this over here We'll see we'll see I'm gonna but I'm gonna do the I have counseling so I need to do that first I need to think about this I love all the pieces of furniture that are in the corner work great. I just think the configurations off just a little bit So anyway, all right One thing at a time. I'll be back. Okay, so what you just saw is me re-arranging my painting corner Over there because now that I'm feeling better. I'm wanting to paint over there more besides doing Other things I've been doing. Let's do the camera. Hold on Um Camera that's funny my phone anyway, I really like the way that looks and There's actually less stuff on the floor less clutter of consolidated a few things Plus for the last little two years since the pandemic started for sure if not longer than that I've been trying to use up some of my old acrylic paints before they smell start smelling and go bad Some of them are like on the verge anyway, so I was able to Consolidate some of the baskets over there which I hadn't done in a while and clean things up looks looks so good Counseling went good this morning. She says I'm doing really well. Yeah It's almost time for lunch, I'm kind of hungry I'm gonna check on a couple of things and but that was the big thing I wanted to do today was rearrange that corner over there I have some drawing. I'd like to do at some point today Um, but we'll see I might not get to tomorrow. Anyway, that's it for the minute. I'll be back Saturday April 23rd What have we been doing this morning that we didn't vlog a lot of nothing We've been lazy bums playing video games. So while we did our morning chores and stuff like that, but I mean Yeah, didn't do anything special. No nothing special. We are headed out now to do some shopping We've got to go to Costco the big box store and but we also Have some really good old Navy coupons that we want to use and both of us as you know Did a big clothing purge not long ago stuff that doesn't fit that's worn out whatever and so we're trying to In a budget-friendly way replace things so we're gonna go see if we can do that with a few things and So That noise that loud noise Bob's blowing out of all the debris out of the garage leaves and pine needles He's gonna clean the garage floor all the cars have been pulled out And I think my work overalls are like a little bit too big I'm keeping them though because they're work overalls again Anyway, I just got done pulling a bunch of weeds gardens coming along nicely I Have to help Bob with one other project, but I can wait a little bit because he needs to clean the floor first so I'm gonna go have some water. I'll be back. He put out some bird feeders for the birds earlier some new ones This guy's waiting Because this but guys over here hog in the bowl hate to tell him the food wasn't for them But I don't think they care. It's pretty cute I wonder if the kitchen window one has anything while we've been trying to do our puzzles and get them done before we have dinner And it's like 7 30 so we kind of need to eat We're kind of stuck on the last word brain puzzle. So, you know, there's that Anyway, I'll be back since about 15 minutes after 11 o'clock at night.
