PLAY EVERY DAY!!!

 PIECES OF ME
showing you...
 
 
 
 in my FULL CIRCLE journal...
 
 
 
 i put her, Carolyn, right in the middle of "my girls"
today, for this post.
it's been an entire year since this sisters' been gone.
but it seems like just a few days ago.
i have had a lot of tears today, but there is such
JOY in my heart...
where she sits...
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!
 
 
 
 this is the left side of my
HEALING painting today..
 
 
 
 this is the right side of HEALING...
 
 
 
it's a journey WITH that girl,
it's not alone, ever.
i have been so very blessed and gifted with
such wonderful friends that have touched my life
and that continue to do so,
each and every day.
some of you are right here right now...
i love you, and i thank you DEEPLY.
(insert a heart and musical note)
 
 
 
 this is in the very same journal...
 
 
 
 
no matter where i am or who i am with...there is always,
always time to PLAY...it's an essential part of all my days...
even if that means just sharing a good laugh with someone...
i love this quote:
 
"LAUGHTER CAN BE A VACATION!"
 
 
i treasure your visits,
i treasure your thoughts and words,
i treasure you, even when you don't leave a post.
 
THANK YOU ALL
for any check-ins ;)

SPECIAL PLACES

 Feeling so wistful one day...
 
 
 
 it had been 3 days, after, all since holding my brushes...
 
 
 
so I headed for my FULL CIRCLE JOURNAL...
 
 
 and layed down tissue paper over the top of some partially prepped page
and began to paint...
 
 
 
 yesterday I went with our daughter, and son in law to HIGH HAND NURSERY!
THIS is such a special place nearby...
Everything that is INSIDE is in the old fruit packing sheds...
everything OUTSIDE is one of the most beautiful nurseries you've ever laid eyes on...
and then there is a conservatory for eating, inside or out with the best food in the land...most of which come from their gardens!
 
 
 
 this is the TIN THIMBLE...it holds the most wondrous fiber and cloth...
and...they have the coolest classes on hand dying silk and many other kinds...
 
 
 
 this is a darling make-shift cupboard,
just FULL of blank canvas' ;)
the kind of place you'd like to accidently get locked inside for the evening!
 
 
 
this is one of the wine marts nearby. this is WHY we were visiting...
our friend Kermit just opened his own mixed media PAINTING GALLERY!
and I didn't take a picture of any of that...
we were all so engaged at the wonder of things...
DON'T YA' JUST LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS?!
