Our dreary day of April showers inspired me to create something full of color. At least April showers bring on the green grass, tree buds and flowers.
I used tissue paper from an Easter gift bag to start my background. I added spots of color with punchinella as a stencil. Scraps and bits made up the rest of the page. 
It was great to work in a journal again. I’ve found that I have to mix things up a bit to keep the creativity flowing. I almost ended up at the sewing machine instead of doing the journal page. I guess I have to be thankful for laundry today…got me down to my artspace.

A couple days ago I had something that was eating me up…interfering with my entire day. Someone that I care about…not living in my house…but that I care about…had hurt me once again. After supper, I decided to do what always helps me…WRITE. Just get it out. A simple rant. An unloading of all the bottled up ick. Spill it out on the page…and so I did.
It’s funny because as I write I see myself working through it in my mind. Of course…you…cannot see it since I blurred it. Sorry…personal stuff…no peeking.So today…feeling much better I painted over my rant. I still know its there. I know what it says. It helped, so it can now become something positive.
These words of wisdom come from the recent Disney movie “Frozen“. If you’re not familiar with it here’s the song that inspired the end product of this page. Both the song and movie are a new favorite in our house. -
I went the whimsical way today…I was attempting to lift my mood a bit. The weather is darn cold again and it’s got me a little down.
This also reminds me that I better get my seeds started. I usually start what I can indoors right about St. Patrick’s Day and I haven’t gotten it done yet…I’m falling behind!
