digital journal magic

i had a chance to combine my newly learned lessons
with my vision circle class
it's a work in progress
it represents what i see in my future
every picture is a reminder of what i love
and the statement is what i have learned about myself
i am a self healer
through my creativity
i've always said that my art is my meditation, my therapy
and it has always been comforting to be able to express myself
thanks leanne for you guidance and marie for the tools to express it

snow day!!!
i woke up to a normal ( for canada) snowfall
schools closed, the streets were quite,
the news says 10 cm ( that's only 4 inches)
not much going on so i decided to take a look for myself
6 inches with a drift............
beanie wasn't liking it!!!!
since my encaustic class was canceled
i caught up on some paper work
playing on the computer
and watching groundhog day
btw, phil did not see his shadow today
so it means an early spring!!!!!
