I’ve really missed the paint swirling onto my thick, beautiful watercolor paper…
There’s something intoxicating about dipping brush into paint—then that first tip of color awash on the page---------------
MAGIC!
Layers of color. Gold and silver. Then words on paper gathered from thoughts in your head…
So wonderful what a few simple things combined together can do for the soul.
See you soon with something new.

I think I’m feeling the rosy flush of Valentine’s Day drawing near…
Lots of hearts in my pages lately. The Queen of Hearts—always a favorite with me. I love this vintage queen’s regalness. She needed lots of gilding. Demanded it {sweetly}, actually!
And the words of a “Little Prince”—another favorite of mine—that has always influenced the way I see things…
“It is only with the HEART that one can see rightly”, his author, Antoine de Saint-Exupery so wisely said. I love those words. I wrote them here in my journal to help me remember them just a little more often…
And just a page of being. I wrote around this lovely china doll as I sat surrounded by my family. We were just all doing our own things—reading, stitching, drawing…but we were all together. And that just made my heart feel right.
Wishing you beautiful heart-filled days…

Just a few little things today--random thoughts on random pages to share…
Ah, letter writing. It’s a rather vanishing form of communication, isn’t it? So sad to me…and yet I’m quick to just dash off an email letter, myself.
Maybe this year I’ll put pen in hand more often with a stack of beautiful paper in front of me and write to those I love…that would be a very good thing.
Listening to that quiet voice inside of you. Seems like just a little thing, but it’s one of the most important things we can do…you rarely go wrong when you listen to your heart.
And last but not least, a few wishes hidden away for the New Year. Some hopes and wishes I’ll keep just for me. My beautiful Victorian friend here is very good at keeping secrets…
Wishing you lovely days ahead full of all the most beautiful “little things” life has to offer--funny how they often become the big things if we let them….
See you soon with something new.
Julie
