"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

resting







thanks for the well wishes and prayers.

saturday's workshop was wonderful.  several new ladies attended.

i am continually amazed at how God uses this visual journaling thing.

i am feeling a bit better.  i have been taking it easy and just playing in my journal.

these were created with cheap craft paint, and some collage.

i have been playing with Derwent Inktense Blocks.  boy are they great to use.  you can get some amazing intense color with these and they are permanent when dry.  i'll show you some later this week.

i still have not heard from our vet yet...

Sending love and prayers so that you feel better and that your pooch is okay...
I have the Inktense pencils but haven't invested in the blocks yet ! Live that vibrant color. Looking forward to seeing what you have done with them.
Rest well and play well, Lovely Mary.
