Art Journaling, the Flea Market & an Update

Life has been busy recently with lots of ups and downs. We traveled to Minnesota where we explored waterfalls, visited dairy farms, cheese stores, a coffee shop in the woods near Duluth, held a memorial for my father in law, spent time with family, spent time at a lake house on Lake Minnetonka, and more. I also managed to get Bronchitis. Upon returning I lost a dear friend to cancer, attended a lovely wedding, and celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. It’s been a little wild. Whew.

I don’t know about you all, but I love the adventure of attending a flea market.. Whether to stroll and just view the treasures or the hunt for something special. I love giving something old new purpose. I shared my love for the flea market on a page.

Recently, some lovely artists sent me three items; a word flashcard, a pharmacy label, and a game score card, I created an art journaling page using those items and that is interactive. I sewed a little metal gate so that it opens and exposes a pocket. This pocket contains lots of photos from an flea market excursion that my mom and I had. My mom has always been amazing at finding treasures. Can you find the three items?

So whether a flea market, art journaling, walking to a waterfall, or a different adventure, I hope you take the time to do something fun, because ‘each day is a gift.’

Enjoy the journey.
