I like to bring home many kinds of memories from my travels...
many many photographs to capture the place and the light and the experiences...
my artjournal that allows me to sit quietly at the end of the day and capture the memories with bits of this and that
both are important to me, both feed my soul.
both offer ways to look back and treasure the moments
until the next time.






Oh ~ love your photographs of such a beautiful place and your journal pages are exquisite and bring the place alive with their colors ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^

Oh your photos and words are so beautiful. The inspire me to begin an art journal although I am no artist. I just feel a compelling call to use my hands to record the beauty I see around me. Thank you.

Hi Dear Steph,
What a super collection of art and photographs of your memories which I thankfully am alos able to absorb through your visual memories. Your journal entries are fab!!
Hope you and your fam all had a very happy Thanksgiving. Speaking of thanksgiving, I wanted to be sure to thank you again for the book you sent me, as I became aware of things I needed to know during the recent journey my mom and I traveled.
Love,
Constance

How I love seeing these postcards... was it only three weeks ago that we said good-bye? Such a short time and now it seems an eternity, but your postcards are forever in my heart... xo
