This is in my first journal that is the closest to “finished” that I have in that there is paint or SOMETHING on every page.
When I stamped the butterfly on this page, I didn’t realize that I had the book upside-down. This is the type of thing I’m loving…how what I would have thought of as a mistake in the past is something to investigate and make something out of.

The closest thing to a “love letter” I have sent in a VERY long time is the words to the Sugarland song “Shine The Light”. I sent it to my best friend at Xmas to remind him that I will always be here for him no matter what.

I’m not usually a very abstract sort of person, but I had a LOT of fun with this…the colors, playing with shapes…I almost don’t miss journaling all over it!

As I have been residing in the desert for over a year, I miss trees SO MUCH! My “somewhere” is cool and dark and shady…

New page from a larger journal.
Playing with the idea of journaling about me.

Left page, mostly from stencils about my dryad self.
Right page about my 2nd Mom and how she is Dorothy…

On the right: Lyrics to “Paddy Murphy”…an Irish drinking song my Father used to sing to me.
Just trying to keep the cats out of the paint…
