Grateful

 

I'm enjoying working in my black journal again. It's amazing how different a page can feel starting with a dark background. Of course, some of my paints don't work on it as they are transparent, so there are things to take into consideration. It generally means I add white to things to make them stand out. That led to more pink on this page than I would usually use, but that's okay.

I am grateful that I have a family who understand my need to create in many different ways. They allow me my own space and plenty of time to potter about in the studio. I am a nicer person for it :)

I am grateful that I have access to materials that allow me to play and experiment and not worry too much about 'using things up'. 

I am grateful that I can use my creative gifts to support my husband in his work, and that he appreciates what I can contribute.

I am grateful that our Easter services went well. It was a lot of work, and Monday was a really lazy day for us, but the feedback has been good.
