Note To Self

This year has been a challenging one for me, and creating has kept me balanced during many difficult times.  November has been exceptionally challenging, and I realized I hadn't worked in my journal all month.

So tonight I decorated a new page in my journal. 

and I wrote a note to myself. 
(On the days that are particularly hard - find a way to create and you will feel better)

I decorated the page with lino cuts I made and printed some time ago. 
Now  I will add some words to the page, and continue to remind myself to create every day!

    Create every day, words to live by. maybe we should have them tattooed on our arms??? I've been an art slacker of late. last night I did start to make Christmas cards....very hard to do when you have your fingers in your ears while saying, La, La, La, Christams isn't really coming! here's to better days,
    cheers, Jill

    I too really like your lino cuts! (If it's any consolation, according to the Mayan calendar after 12/21 we go into a new era where things are supposed to get much better, kinder, more peaceful. lol)

    Dear Kim, I hope winter wraps her arms around you
    and that you find yourself in the beautiful glow
    of creation, home and family --
    a safe cocoon from which you will emerge with a new spirit.
