On Friday I caught up with a couple of friends for a leisurely breakfast and received a lovely present from my dear friend Anna. I had given Anna some pieces of material that I had all great intentions of doing something with but never got around to. This is the result, a beautiful handbag. I just love it, Anna is so creative!!
Anna also gave me an ATC - I am so lucky to have such a wonderful thoughtful friend. Thank you Anna.
I seem to be stuck on circles and swirls at the moment. I used anything I could find today to make circles, old cotton reels, the end of a sponge brush, bubble wrap and circle stamps.
I am also a big fan of Dr Wayne Dyer and Abraham-Hicks' teachings and the transfer is from an article about time.
The affirmation at the end is "I intend to make time for myself to live the life that I came here to live."
The next page was inspired by my astrology chart from yesterday. It started with the question - What would you do if you had the freedom to do anything? It talked about the list of things that you wouldn't touch, things you love just as they are. It is a reminder to recognise these things and celebrate them and that being grateful for what you already have is the key to greater comfort.
Here is stage 1 and 2.I started with a pinky red with lilac background. i bubble wrapped into the wet paint, then mixed the red with white and stamped bubble wrap on top (can you tell I love the bubble wrap at the moment?)
I then stuck down pieces of a nice serviette, then painted sunflower yellow and aqua in places
Then came the astrology article, flower stenciling, doodling, stamping and finally the finished page.
Hence, these are some of the things I am grateful for:-
I hope you are all safe an sound where-ever you are in the world and that you are grabbing those precious moments to create till your hearts desire and celebrate what you have right now, because in the end all that matters is now.
Love lee:)

Bbrrrrr Lee, it looks cold and miserable. Don't suppose you want to know that we had a t.shirt and thongs day today and a morning spent at the beach - NO - okay.
Beautiful journal pages and I too have a 'thing' for the bubblewrap technique.
Hope you have a great week and get some valuable ME time.

Lovely how you did the stages on here. Gorgeous!
Your rainy day looks pretty good to me. And how lucky you are to receive your scraps of fabric back in such a beautiful form.
I, too, like Dr. Dyer and Abraham-Hicks teachings. I get little messages from A-H each day in my email. I love how you incorporated those thoughts into your pages. And circles are something I use quite often in my art. I love their symbolism.
Hi Lee,
Sooo glad you like your bag!
These pages are fantastic, bright and cheery!
Well done.
Stay warm,
Happy painting,
Hugs,
Anna
