A few more journal pages to share with you…
While we were away visiting my parents this last week, my journal was my artistic outlet…so easy to tote along with me, with only a couple of favorite pens to have to bring as well…
…pages already prepared with paint or pretty paper were easy to doodle & write on while watching a movie with the family…
I really think this one may have been inspired by my being able to spend so much one-on-one time with my mother this week…!
Were we all told these same things? Or was it just me?!
Isn’t that a wonderful quote? Gives another dimension to the thought of being charming, doesn’t it?
After I wrote this on the label, I just started doodling little “charms” without really realizing what I was doing for a minute…the funny one on the right is a scotty dog, by the way—one of my favorite charms—I’m just not the greatest doggie artist! {but that’s okay!}
So, whether the advice you take today is from Miss Dickenson, your mother, or someone else just as brilliant…it’s usually a very good thing.
Wishing you a charming day……
Julie
