"You become. It takes time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
Velveteen Rabbit
This is in my large Moleskine journal. I have taped the portion from "The Velveteen Rabbit" to the page. I think I will write it in one of the butterflies in white - or not...

One of my favourite quotes and you've done a great job creating pages and images that go so well with the idea. Like the idea of perhaps portions of the quote in the butterflies. Great stuff Mar
Oh I love this...both your journal page and the quote..which I am going to write out and place by my desk.
Thank you, Mary, for always reminding me that we are continually evolving and that it is okay to change your mind when it comes to art design...this sets me free! XOXO Connie
Velveteen Rabbit...I loved reading it to my kids.....I love it's message and your work....shows your heart...awesome.
I want to someday be real!!
Oh one of my favorite quotes... thanks. Just love your work. Do you ever cut up your journals so you can just enjoy one piece? I seem to rip them up as I want to see one piece only at a time - just can't handle it being closed away.
Your heart themed pages are so uplifting:D Love your heart prints around the edges of the page as well! Great job!
