I always enjoy assembling these journal pages. I tried something new this time and put Golden Absorbent Grounds on areas of the pages so I could paint some watercolor flowers without the thin pages melting away with the water. I love doing these pages because I get to use my stamps. I love stamps. I love the ones that I carve as well as the ones I buy. Some people don't like to use anything but their own carved stamps because they are unique to them, which is great, but I say I like to use all my stamps bought or carved and use them in a unique way.
Below are my guys cooking a Mother's Day dinner for Chauncey's sister, Rachel, his parents and me. They cooked Hot Chicken Salad which was one of my mother's recipes which is extremely involved but EXTREMELY delicious! They did a great job. And I am extremely blessed to have these two great guys in my life.

I love the journal pages in your big journal, they remind me of Judy Wise's style.
Hi Martha,
Gorgeous art as always. It looks like your guys are working hard and enjoying it. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

The guys look like they are having a wonderful time! I hope they clean-up as well. Looks like they've used a lot of utensils!!! It's nice to be pampered once-in-a-while.

Happy Mother's Day Martha, and what a beautiful page!
This photo of your guys cooking in the kitchen is priceless. Hot chicken salad sounds yummy. Love your journal pages and how you date and relate as a remembrance of your day. Marvelous May to you...
Luscious color on the journal page! Who cleaned up the kitchen? Cause we can see the dish is complex, and it was a job! How nice to have them cook for all of you.
Beautiful pages Martha! It looks like you had a wonderful mothers day with them cooking for you!
Adore your journal page, and love to see men in the kitchen.
Hugs,
Gorgeous journal spread!
Love your big journal! I'm curious as to why you don't think you'll use the absorbent ground again? I like the font you write in when you print. (the smaller writing in all caps) Is it a specific font or just the way you write? ~ Karen
Love your journal pages Martha! What a blessing your guys are willing to tackle your mom's recipe. It makes it that much more special (and it looks like it was delicious!)
Your art is so inspiring - especially the Bible verses -
Just beginning art journaling and
