You have described what it feels like to see time go so fast and watch you kids grow up too fast.
You can not stop it believe me I tried, but I encourage you to enjoy every single bit of time with them. You still have their college years to enjoy.
When mine left home, I felt like I was out of a job. Life does renew itself when you become a grandparent. I waited a long time to be a grandparent and I want to enjoy every second of it,too.
Y'all, I noticed something with the bottom picture, if you click on it, it looks like my wall is bubbly - it is not! The camera picked up on the heat off the candles! :)
thanks for stopping by the other day and leaving me your comment about visual journaling. No, you do not have to be an artist to visual journal. I do not draw, if I want to use an image I use a magazine or photo. Painting the page, if you choose is not hard at all, and the process is very soothing and relaxing. My advice to you is to just play with the paints to begin with. There are so many wonderful books on how to begin out there. The Art Journaling magazine you picked up is a good one. And I tell others, it' not so much about making a pretty page as it is getting out what's inside of you.
Congrats on another birthday! LOL I am glad you are interested in this style of art! ATC's are so small, but I find that for some reason I put a lot of emotional energy into them. I have never really enjoyed journaling, I think I am more into small works of art. I see you are from Georgia... Archivers at Mall of Geogia gives lessons on ATC's. And if you live close to me (between Atlanta and Athens) I would love to help you! Hope you have a blessed weekend! Yvette
