This spread in done in my planner/journal. The prayer is from Ken Gire's book, "Windows of the Soul" I printed it out on large sticky labels I got from the office supply store.
This background is in the same journal. I like having several backgrounds completed. Then when I am out and about I have something to journal on.
"I Poo in Blue!"
This is my most precious grandson in my studio. Have you seen the the youtube video about these diapers??
Oh my gosh, it cracked me up. Of course we had to get him the diapers.
Here is the link if you want a laugh.
Hope you all are having a great day!!

Mary, WOW
On the surface, these pages are beautiful and the colors are georgeous but then you realize the gut level honesty that lurks below and I am blown away...You are so in touch with yourself and your feelings.....I am inspired by the way you tackle issues head on and don't hold back from digging deep.....I love the prayer....
On a lighter note, your grandson is just "pretty"......so adorable and he's learning from a wonderful grandma at such an early age the beauty and satisfaction of art....
I've got to get my grandson some of these diapers...so cute...
Hugs and blessings
wow...thank you, mary.
Mary,
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous journal pages. Truly you are using the page as a powerful tool!
I didn't notice a way to contact you directly through the blog. I'm doing a series of artist interviews on my site and would love to have you participate. If you are interested please contact me. jhutchins@joyfulartsstudio.com.
Blessings,

I can sooo relate to your journal page. Your grandson is quite a cutie pie.

He Said She Said is an absolute knockout!
Your grandson is so adorable and yes I seen those diapers. They're so cute but kinda pricey. I love your journal pages,especially the he said she said one thats so cute. It seems like everybody is journaling lately including me,it must be the summer time thing to do. Oh and you had ask if I used cardboard in my journal and yes it is. Thanks so much for your sweet comments.
Ok....the grandchild is such a cutie!!! Those diapers are just too cute. Why didn't they have those cute ones a few years back!!! Your pages as always are just so awesome, and your studio is so great!
I so love how fearless you are about feeling:)
I appreciate your blog, braveheart!

Yes Mary, in answer to your words on your journal, yes, you are progressing. When you share what you are going through with others, you have no idea the hopeful seed you are planting in other hearts. You my dear are such an inspiration. Now I need to start taking my own advice and get to working on my own art journal.
Your little grandson looks fan-tabulous in his Poo Blues! He is a cutie. I just came back from being with my grandchildren you know in PA and while there my daughter bought a box of the Poo Blues for my one yr old grandson... but I had not seen this video. It cracked me up too.
Hugs,

these are so great. love that first one the best and your grandson....too cool just like the babe in the video!!!!
Mary, the pink journal page is one of the most creative I've seen online in some time. And your grandson is cute as a button! I know you enjoy him...
I wrote such a long sharing story of why I "GET" your photo and the desire for "freedom"....that I had to delete it....it was too long....so I shortened it....still too long....so I shortened it more!....still too long....shortened it one more time....hmpf!! still too long...DELETE....by now I'm laughing about it....and have decided....someday we will meet hearts .... in person! LOVE this post ... it stirred much in me..... thankful, for some things lately that the Lord has used to free me a little more! Don't you LOVE KEN GIRE?!?!?!
This is so funny, because it DID post in the above post....weird...God must have wanted it posted?! I hope it was God....anyway, it is rather personal, so if you want to delete it you really can...I don't mind.....I sure did put myself "out there"! You can only post soooo many words and I kept shortening it....then just deleted the whole thing, but it still showed up. Your journals and words do more for others than you know!! Praise Him for you....have you ever heard of Pearls and Grace....she used to speak....and has a wonderful story about how we are Pearls....if you can't find it...I'll try to RE-FIND it to share with you.....
Oh my goodness, Mary - I haven't visited your blog in a while and now I am blown away by your gorgeous work! Clearly I have to stop by a LOT more often! : )
I'll be back soon, I promise.
xoxo
