Hi everyone. I hope your week has been going well. My week has been very busy again, but not with anything too wildly exciting. 😏 We also had some high heat and humidity, the first of the year, and the toughest thing is we hadn't fully done the change over from winter to summer (putting up the storm windows, putting AC's in place and other such tasks) because none of the heat up has been gradual. Monday morning it was only 45 degrees F/7.2 degrees C and by yesterday afternoon it was 92 degrees F/ 33.3 degrees C. It certainly makes you jump to it and get summer ready when it gets so hot. 👍
It's Friday so it's time for Nicole's Friday Face Off and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break. Since I'm sharing a piece of art I'm also linking it up to Matilde's People challenge at Art Journal Journey. There's quite a few faces on this journal page.

What an interesting journal page, beautifully designed. Wow, what a temperature difference! Your flowers from the garden are beautiful!
Have a happy Day! Hugs Elke
Your irises are beautiful, and unlike birds, stay put while you take their picture! Have a great weekend. All the best - David
...I LOVE your iris!!!
Agreed Erika that the iris is a beautiful flower and the purple blooms are always a favorite with myself.
Beautiful irises!! They are my favourite too. The Bee page looks lovely.
Oh my! Irises are one of my favorite flowers too! But I can't seem to grow them for beans. These are fantastic, Erika! Well done and beautifully photographed.
Wasn't the 90 degree temp awesome? I took a page out of your lunch book. Your iris are so pretty. Hopefully storms rolling through won't be too bad today
The exotic shape of the iris flowers makes other flowers look ordinary. Their colours only add to the impressive quality that makes the iris flowers stand out.
Good morning, gorgeous blooms! and I loved your journal page too.
Thank you so much for suggesting book bub-that sounded familiar and I discovered I had an account there from over 15 yeas ago that I totally forgot about-smiles-updated my email etc - that is a neat site for good buys on books
Happy Friday still raining here
Hugs Kathy
Lovely page and fabulous Iris photos!
I love your bee-themed collage! And irises are one of my favourite flowers too -- your photos are great!
Fabulous page! I love that you were able to use some pieces to work with from your work table too! I can't believe that you have Iris's blooming! We haven't gotten any come out yet. We have a purple and yellow like yours, I can't wait to see them either! Your photos are stunning!

Oh wow. I love your latest journal entry. You used a LOT of those TH paper dolls. I love how you captured the moment and created this remarkable entry. This is a great entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ.
You have some stunning irises. Mine are long gone and waiting for next year to arrive.
Dear Erika,
what a dramatic weather change you've experienced – from jacket-and-boots to tank-top-and-sandals in just a blink! 😅 We had a similar shift here in Austria – although perhaps a touch less extreme. One day I was still in boots, the next I was hunting for my sunhat…
Your journal page is absolutely delightful – a miniature artwork full of texture, movement, and buzzing energy 🐝. I especially love how the hexagons and collaged layers come together so harmoniously.
And then – those irises! 💜 The close-up of the very first bloom is truly fascinating. It almost looks like the flower is playfully sticking out its tongue – nature's little surprise, beautifully captured!
Sending sunny greetings and best wishes from across the Atlantic,
Traude

Oh I love this art. The flowers are so beautiful. Wow! I would love to have a 90° day. It is still so cold. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a nice day.
