I had no computer for several days but now everything is working.  I finally caught up with all the Documented Life Prompts last week.

The prompt for week 26 was to add a bible verse or a line from your favorite book that inspires you.

The quote is from a series that used to be my favorite but then the novels started to be a disappointment so its no longer my favorite but I still like this quote from one of the earlier books in the series.  I also created a mini zine since I am thinking about signing up for the 24 Hour Zine Challenge. It is sloppy and has some errors like double words, etc but not too bad for creating it in well under 10 minutes. I took pictures of the mini zine and put it in a slideshow since there are quite a few.

The prompt for week 27 was to add a crossword, word search or Sudoku puzzle.

For the prompt I knew I wanted to use sudoku puzzles and keep it simple.  I used puzzles from an old book, some punchinella to create the small circles, a prescription top for the larger circles and 1 inch vinyl sticker numbers. I like how this turned out.

The week 24 prompt was to use book text.

I really like how how she turned out.  I was originally going to add a portion of the legs that would fit on the page but thought it looked weird.  But now it kinda looks like she is legless and floating. That is the only issue I have with her.

The week 25 prompt was to cover your flap in hearts.

Even though this weeks prompt was hearts my focus on this spread wasn’t the hearts it was about the Gettysburg Ingress Interitus Anamoly that my husband and I attended during the weekend. I used only green since we are part of the Enlightened faction in the Ingress game and that is the color for the faction. Since everything was kept hush hush and there were lots of verifications in order to join the group for the the event I decided to create a top secret folder with the info and plans we received. While in Gettysburg we also did the auto tour.

Slowly playing catch up.

The week 22 prompt was to draw, paint or sketch a house.

Before having surgery during this week I was able to create the page about the local farm and the house.  I was still not feeling very creative this week as I was stressing about the surgery.  The rest of the pages I created last week.

Besides pages based on the week’s events I also created a spread about the hallucination I had during surgery.  The anesthesiologist gave me some extra meds to insure if the anesthesia didn’t work this time I would still not feel anything.  The last time I had hand surgery with a different doctor the anesthesia didn’t work and I was awake and felt everything during the surgery. It was horrible.  This time around it went a lot better.  As the surgery started everything faded into a hallucination where I was surrounded by these huge floating cubes in the Ingress faction colors and I was jumping from one to the other with a small group of people.  At one point I felt a little pain and suddenly a path appeared with a cute pink elephant and all I wanted to do was catch the pink elephant but every time I got close to it, it seemed to be further and further away. When the surgery was over the hallucination started to fade away and part of me didn’t want the pink elephant to go away.

The week 23 prompt was to practice gratitude and write what you are grateful for each day this week.

I’m a bit behind with the Documented Life Project prompts. These two however were created during the weeks prompts but I didn’t get a chance to post them.  I had carpal tunnel surgery May 29th so I have been trying to take it easy. As of Friday restrictions have been lifted so I can start using my hand more, as well as continue doing at home hand therapy.

The week 20 prompt was to use a rubber stamp in a new way.

Everything on this page was done during week 20 except I changed the picture of Chessie a couple of weeks later because the one I had on there got messed up when tape got stuck to it. When I saw this prompt I immediately knew I wanted to create a cat.  I like how it turned it.  When creating the cat I accidentally used a distress ink pad instead of a regular ink pad and it took several days to dry.

The week 21 prompt was to add embroidery floss or thread to the page.

Don’t like how this one turned out.  I wasn’t feeling very creative when I was doing this.  Probably because I was worried about the surgery.

The prompt for week 18 was to add an inspiring quote.

I intended on using a nice font for my quote but spaced or something and did nothing different.  I created the circles with india ink using a thin brush.  The background is latex paint.  The magazines last year used to have a coupon for free paint at Lowe’s.  I picked up a few.  When I use them I usually don’t gesso because the latex prevents anything from bleeding through.  However it doesn’t make the pages thicker like gesso.  For the quote page I did use gesso as I wanted to write the word fear in it.  I probably should have made the gesso a little thicker so that the word would stand out a bit more.

The prompt for week 19 was to write about a random act of kindness.

For this week I didn’t have anything to write about so I just used the two pages for the prompt.  The background was created with 3 different latex paint colors.  The branches were created with india ink using a dropper. The flowers were created with acrylic paint.  I wrote about my random act of kindness on cardstock that I had painted and then glued it to the page.
