Hey there from Nannyland,
It's a sun-drenched Friday morning here in my lovely desert home and, as I type, I'm looking with delight at the gorgeous citrus trees outside my window. Directly in front of me is a lush young apricot tree full of small green orbs that will soon burst forth with my favorite fruit. Juicy ripe home grown fruit is definitely a simple thing that brings me joy.
If you haven't checked out The Art of Julia Spiri, you are missing a real treat. She is a talented Spanish artist who creates with an amazing whimsical, fantasy style that I love. I blissfully colored this stunning digi called Young Fairy with Copic markers and embellished her for my Fantasy Art journal.
I used a white Anna Griffin die cut to frame her angelic face and embellished her with Spellbinders flowers, pearls, colored rhinestones and a white gel pen. My sentiment page was created in Cricut Design Space with the writing and cutting features.
Some of the simple things I'm delighting in today are: a quiet morning prayer, a nature walk with red hills surrounding me, lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant, an afternoon creating in Nannyland, my hubby across the hall in his office, an orchard in my side yard, bright flower beds in my back yard, kids laughing next door. How about you?
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
