    Create a Living Canvas – Art Journaling Entry

    October 24, 2020 / No Comments

    While some things in our lives we CANNOT control, some things we can. Often we can determine the outcome of something. For example . . . the principle of planting, is that you will reap what you sow. You plant and put in the hard work, you’ll usually always get a good harvest. The principal of giving is that you give, it will come back around to you. Our lives can be a blank canvas and often we can choose to ‘create’ a canvas that is full of color and joy.

    Grateful for Smiles ~ Art Journal Page

    August 15, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I’m wondering if we took advantage of smiles from strangers in the past? Now, under a mask, we need to smile with our eyes, so to speak. Either way, there are ways we can convey a greeting such as a nod , a little wave, or a wink (if appropriate). I don’t know how many of you participate in the Ranger/Dina Wakley challenge.
