We are all just canvases for our scars – Jodi Picoult

Noticing how a little gesture can light up my mind. I got these beautiful tiny flowers at the grocery store today. Why not? a gift for myself, I deserve it!

It’s snowing, all grey and cold out there, now at least my living room as colour and freshness. Hoping to give a break in my mood, I don’t know if it is depression, winter blues, but I need to recharge and take care of myself.

I just love Picoult’s quote from the Spark of light! It reminds of acceptance, and I need to be reminded of it all the time.

Wishing a peaceful day/night to you!

“The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.” Pablo Picasso

Saturday morning, I’m spending time in my studio being crazy with my art pages.

And you? What are you up this weekend? Hope something fun and relaxing.

Have a great weekend!

I’ve been art journaling since 2013, and now I think I’ve finally figured out my style for art journal pages. Here are a few things that I love to have on my pages:

Color – I prefer to use acrylic than water-color medium
Images – Mostly from magazines, but children books are a great asset as well
Words – A must!
Messy – Yes to freedom!

It’s funny, I always try to change things but always go back to what makes comfortable and my creativity can fly free.

And you? How is your creativity doing?

I’m ‘being’ much more than ‘doing’ these days. I don’t want to rush through things, but I want to enjoy and appreciate moments. BE is my word for this year, just be myself, be here and now.

A little heart goes a long way when we release boundaries and are ready to create a new path for our dreams.

Noticing how the criticism and boundaries that pull me down are inside my mind. Learning how to be free from them. It isn’t a easy process but I’ll get there.

How are you doing my friends? I feel the tension in the air, everybody is busy and in hurry trying to finish up things and get others ready for the holidays.

Slow down, take a deep breath and smile. Reading some poetry before starting the day helps too. Writing is the best, only a few pages to organize your ideas and bring your focus back to what is important and what this season is about.

Have a lovely and peaceful day!
