Happy New Year

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing you all a happy and healthy 2018.
May the year be kind to you.

I made a quick journal page with a face and flowers,
symbolic for facing towards the new year
and watching it bloom and unfold.







Yesterday's sunrise was preceded by dark clouds
over the airport, but the sun shone through:









May the sun rise and shine for us all in the coming year.

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. This is really beautiful, a lovely idea to set us facing the new year, and I love the quote. Is it from you? We are having visitors today, and then visiting tomorrow, so it's going to be a busy weekend, sigh! Get plenty of rest and keep warm, stay home if the weather's bad like it is here! Hugs, Sarah

  11. A very beautiful uplifting page. The bits of orange on the page remind me of your sunrise pictures. Gorgeous! But too early and cold for me to want to get up. Hope you're feeling better. Enjoy your day!

  24. I don't know what is prettier, the colors of the sunrise of your page. Wow valerie. I love the symbolism. I wouldn't have thought of that. Is your page made on cloth? If not it looks like it which is really cool. She is lovely as is the quote you used. Wishing you a fantastic new year. I hope you are feeling more improved and healthier than you were and you are feeling better to see in 2018. Hugs-Erika

    1. Thanks! It's not cloth, it's a piece of rather shiny packing paper that I re-used.
