i made this journal years ago.

the pages are of varying sizes.  i have not

been certain about it, the unpredictability of it all.

i have embraced it, added packing tape collage along

with one of my paintings to the cover and 

am in love with it.   i have joined the 30 day

journal challenge with lisa sonora for the 

month of september.  it has unexpectedly become

very grounding to write daily.

southern california has experiencing years 

of drought.  drought tolerant gardens have been popping

up all over to help conserve water so along with the 

palm trees of old, succulents are commonplace.  

i am appreciating the refreshing beauty in these plants.

will delight your eyes and spirit.



thank you for visiting today!

  5. I love it that your teabag pics are all so different and it's difficult to remember that they are teabag size. I like the 'Vogue' journal page too.
