Floating on through the first week of October…where does the time go?!
A few more journal pages to share…this is where my heart is right now…giving me so much joy--gluing, painting, doodling—and learning from the lovely thoughts of those much wiser than I am…
Have you ever wondered how many sayings of Benjamin Franklin’s we use on a regular basis? I think I’ll look into that. One smart gentleman, that Mr. Franklin!
And this one…gives me lots of peace. As I worked on it, I kept hearing the beautiful Shaker hymn in my head: “Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free…”.
I couldn’t agree more. Life gets pretty complicated and messy these days, doesn’t it? Maybe time to slow down a little bit…
And one last HURRAH for summer…I love this faceless little girl—pieced together with lovely collage bits…It was a VERY good summer…
Hope you’re enjoying your moments…they fly away much too quickly…Take some time to do the things that bring you joy….
Julie

You are just so cute. I wish I lived close to you my friend, and could get together to craft something. Maybe someday! I love the way you journal on one side of pieces, like just right along side the image of the girl.
ReplyDeleteToday I made apple butter and apple crisp, plus got everything ready for the beehives tonight. we will be making conference journals for mutual tonight. Maybe soon it will feel like fall outside, cause it sure smells like it inside. hugs
Your pages are so gorgeous that your children will argue over who gets them! I love looking at the graphics, I'm so happy you show them to us!

Beautiful pages! I love your handwriting!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Your witches frame in the previous post is so cute! I have to laugh, when I read the first page of this post, I thought it said, "Lost your love life?" I hope not! Have a lovely fall weekend. Your pages are always so inspiring. Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more with Laura Ingalls Wilder...the simple things are the best....it is so easy to get caught up in the rush of just about everything...perhaps there should be a speed limit life....go slowly so you can enjoy it all!! Love your journal pages!!

I love all that you create Julie. I, too, wish we lived closer. You could sure help me with my memory book. I have only done two pages in it. I need to stop being so slack and get with the program!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteYour creations are beautiful! I need more studio space, to branch out into art journaling! I have sort of started this process, but I need a whole new space for it! Your work is so inspiring, so beautiful too!
