Creating

Finally this weekend I finished my entry in Mary's circle journal, "Colors". I used this photo I'd taken a few years ago of a sunflower - first time I've used a full page photo - 8 X 8. The journalling talks about yellow things that bring me joy. I broke out the paints and stamps and, following Ali Edwards' advice, didn't worry about it being perfect. I had fun and must remember to make time to create more regularly. Hopefully I can spend lots of time in my studio over the Christmas holidays!


It was a quiet and reflective weekend here. All is good in my life as I pause to remember why Christmas is important in our lives. We are really looking forward to having our whole family home this year - only 2 more weeks!! Happy Preparing this week!

  4. Awesome - though I must say I am THOROUGHLY surprised that you did not pick the color ORANGE! I can't wait to get this journal back - I am certain all the entries are eye-candy - good for the soul! Thanks for taking the time to put some creative energy into my little book.
