Continuing to horse around in my visual journal. I'm almost ready to build a new book. This one has been by my side for the last year. And in the beginning… you know, the book is sort of drowsy. Still waking up from a deep sleep. All those resting white pages wanting to become something. But what?
I can tell just by looking which pages have secret longings to be something other than what they are. This one below for example, wrestled with its identity. I wish I had taken a picture so you could see what it was before. A loud raucous mess it was. Scribbly scratchy painted confusion. 
I did some things. Scooted around the house. Made a couple of to-don't lists. Looked in the refrigerator. Followed a trail of ants down the driveway. Found an old Anthropology catalogue. Cut glue zippity do. No Page Left Behind!
Everybody sorts through their visual journal problem-child pages differently. Me, I keep going until I find harmony. To some it might resemble more of a calamity, but I lean strongly in the direction of chaos. That's just how I roll. Speaking of which I am beyond thrilled to have found a source for the wood panels. I like zee vood panels. Berry berry much. I order.
Your jourals are just incredible! Found you today and will definitely be back.
Love your work.
These pages are just overflowing with visual treats! Love em!
Your journal pages are always so beautiful. I love all the layers.
Just found you thru Michelle’s blog (Lost Coast Post), and have thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Will definitely be back again. Love your journals!
“To don’t” lists! I love it.

Celeste – Julie left it on the last post in the comments section…can’t think of it at the moment but it’s all there in the comments.
will you share your source?
thank you!
I am impressed at the energy you summon to wrestle with the pages after time in the ‘gator pit. At this point in the school year… NO! … I am strangling a whine mid-waaah. Your energy is probably renewed by doing the messing around. Good therapy.
Good for you
Good for us
and
very good for your gators.
