when it rains it pours... and then there is a rainbow

confused yet at what this post is about? lol.. i know.. im a dork. so this last weekend we had are big huge campbell family reunion.. my aunts and uncles, cousins, second cousins.. and even some third.. and it was a BLAST.. i am sad to report I only made it to round two of the Canasta tournament (last year my partner and I won it).. but that's okay. we still had fun!  Well sunday night about 3 am in the morning.. my daughter calls us from her cell phone (she's 12 lol) letting us know that she was downstairs and had just thrown up. My husband rolls over to tell me and then he jumps up and runs to the bathroom himself. I was like great. What have we hear. Well by noon yesterday all but two of my kids were sick throwing up, including me and Ben.. AND i texted my brothers and sisters to warn them that we were sick and soon the replies started coming in that they too had sick kids and they were also sick. Then texts saying aunts and uncles were sick and cousins lol..  at first we thought it was food poising.. but  a few went to the doctor and no. It is a highly contagious stomach flu. Today we all feel a little better but still dealt with kids throwing up all night long. Today I just feel week.. but not sick anymore. I am just glad this happened before thursday.. as our kids start school thursday!

So that is the rain.. now for the rainbow :)..

Last week I mentioned that Junelle had started doing projects using our main kit.. and showed you her project and video for the July kit.. and THIS week we are lucky enough to get to see what she does with the June kit!

As you might remember she is doing an art journal page using the main kits (from my Scarlet Lime Store)  each month ... here is what she did for june.

I love this girl and how she is got her bags packed and ready to go.. awesome.

 

 

 So fun.. thank you Junelle!!! Here is the video!

 

 

Junelle simply rocks.. 

and SPEAKING of Junelle and workshop classes.. my fall line up of classes will be available for signup starting NEXT week.. I have three we are offering...originally I had planned on doing a full holiday workshop.. including halloween, fall , christmas and winter.. but have decided to divide the class up.. and do the halloween and fall workshop in september and make it just a fun five day workshop.. with whimsical halloween and fall mixed media art projects (including two awesome guest artist who will be also doing some cool projects as well).. and then offering a bigger 2 week workshop for the Christmas/Winter one in November.. since it covers so many more subjects.. 

then of course we have Junelles NEW workshop that starts in October.. and then to end the year we will have another 12 Artsy Ornaments of Christmas again this year! With 12 different teachers, 12 different projects for the holidays! So it will be a super fun fall and winter filled with new classes and new inspiration! can't wait! So watch for then news on all of those next week. I am going to be offering a package deal where if you sign up for all three or even two.. there will be discounts given.

You're right, Chalice. I don't see any other reasons why your family members suffered stomach flu virus. It doesn't mean that the whole food is spoiled; there might be some ingredients that caused the food to spoil easily. A good solution here is to avoid solid food for a while. But after the pain subsides, I suggest eating crackers and bread to fill up your appetite.

[Chalice Lindgren]

The food served in the family reunion event (obviously) was the reason why most of your family members suffered stomach flu and virus. But it's a good thing that it wasn't that severe, though. There is no definite treatment for this, but drinking a lot water and/or fruit juice would really help. Drinking water can prevent dehydration which is the common effect of this virus. Be aware of the food you eat next time, and I do hope that this won't happen again, Christy.

Cute, cute, cute !! journal page. I loved watching her sketch first -- I don't do that -- but I DO think that way...I like to have more of a "plan" -- so I may have to try a sketch out next time!

Hope you and the fam are feeling better soon, Christy!!

OH NO Christy, you poor things! Nothing worse than sick kiddies! But glad to hear that you are all starting to feel better!

I have to say that I have been sooo busy lately that I haven't done any art journalling and I really miss it. I just got a new desk, so I might just have to get a little messy in the next few days...haha!

I'm sorry to hear about your fun ending in illness....it happened to us one year at a Christmas family reunion. The last thing I was asked on a video taken during a hike back to the cabin was "What are you going to do now" and I replied "go puke". It was an awesome weekend with family regardless and one we will never forget!

[Dolores]

beautiful!

hope you all feel better soon
