Sometimes I have those days when tears seem to be closer to running down my cheeks.
Same life facts as yesterday, likely the same as tomorrow, but something triggers that feeling, and suddenly I'm crying in the car on the way to a starbuck's for an iced tea and Michael's for craft supplies for a kid's summer program; activities that would usually put a smile on my face.
I already had this pinkish background with blue sprayed spots so thought I would do a
"Good Day to Cry" page and also my number 8 lesson from Joanne Sharpe's "Letter Love": Groovy Gridlines. I got the idea of doing bumpy lines in watercolor pencil and letting the drips drip down when I added water. I felt satisfied with my journal entry on the right side, especially the last sentences: "Some days are just like this. Great to have this page to mop it up." |
Than's for all the processes that you've shared here in your blog, I'll be taking notes! EmG
ReplyDeleteThanks Emm! Thanks for the support!
DeleteThe page really reflects the feeling you're talking about, and that being said, it's gorgeous! Wishing you more smile than tears, hugs.
