"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

In Our Groove

Becky and I had a wonderful first day.

We packed a lot in and I loved every minute. We're already in our groove.


But a real highlight this evening was getting and going through my original junk journal that made its way around the circle and now is back to me. You can read about the start of this shared art project here: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2025/04/rebirth.html

I plan to share more of pages throughout the week...but here's just a little sample for tonight....I'm exhausted!

  1. Sounds like the best kind of exhaustion, MaryAnn! Hi, Becky!

    These junk&joy journals … W O W. Thank you for sharing a sample page spread and for promising more to come. What an abunDANCE of wonderfulness. My eyes are having a glorious field day exploring, and, if your book were behind security ropes in a museum, the alarms would already be sounding because I have leaned WAY forward with hands out wanting desperately to touch!

    1. You're exactly right Dotty! The junk journal exchange was fun for all of us. I will send Tracie's final journal back with Becky to get to Tracie. It was fun being the first one to work in a journal...and I've enjoyed being the last one to work in one. Having everyone's art mixed all in is really wonderful.
