We're headed "up north" (as they say here in Minnesota) for our summer vacation. Just as we did last year, the year before and the year before that. My sister and her family are in town and I was able to meet my new little nephew Hans, who is absolutely adorable!! Remember when I made this for her homecoming with him?
Here are some art journal pages I did this week reflecting on how I hope to see with fresh eyes and explore the world around me while I'm gone. I pasted in the list of "How to Be an Explorer of the World" from Keri's book. Hope to keep these things in mind when I'm away and take some time to relax and see life from a child's perspective.
I adore this little rainbow butterfly that Chloe drew for me this morning. What a wonderful color combo!
Have a great week!

The first page is my favorite, at a first glance on the picture I thought, your hand writing (at the back of the lamp and the sofa) was just a back ground for the whole page. It looks like a part of the wall with writings on it. Amazing!

ReplyDeleteThe "How To Be An Explorer" list is so refreshing, especially when I feel like I do the same day-in, day-out each day... a good reminder for me that life is precious and exciting and I just need to be awake and ready for it!
