Vacation week is almost over and here is some of the artwork I got done in my Art Journal (all except the angel!).  I saw the two at the top on the internet and loved them so much that I had to draw them in my journal.  Love the humor of them!   I will use them for journaling pages also.   I'm really pleased with the one at the bottom.  She turned out much better than I anticipated!  Scott makes fun of my people with no hands.    I just wanted simple....nothing complicated.

I ran across this beauty recipe today in "The Good Earth Bath, Beauty & Health Book", and want to try making it!

THE GOOD EARTH FACIAL MASK FROM CUCUMBER AND GREEN CLAY

1/8 cup French Clay
1 medium cucumber, peeled and mashed
Water (enough to make into a paste)
1 teaspoon sweet almond oil

Mix the French Clay, cucumber and oil together in a bowl.  Use the water to make a very moist paste (a medium cucumber will vary in moisture level so you will just have to add enough water to make a very soft clay).  Put on your face and let set until dry, usually 10 - 15 minutes (the moisture will evaporate from the mask, causing a "pulling" action, which presses out whiteheads/blackheads from you skin and tightens your pores), then wash off.  

I think I have all the ingredients, so just may try making this while I am on vacation this week!  Will post a pic of it if I decide to make it!
