There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.
Charles D. Gill
Hey there from Nannyland,
Sometimes, when we're walking a dimly lit new path, it can be a very unsettling and daunting challenge. As we take those first few tentative steps and realize that both heavenly and earthly angels are surrounding us to illuminate our path, it's a testament to the fact that God knows each one of us and is always there to help us along the way.
This is true for me more than ever right now and I'm so blessed to be encircled by dear friends and family who encourage me and lift me up. I love retreating to Nannyland for some therapeutic journal coloring to relax me and keep my head in a happy place.
I used my Whimsical Journal to showcase this gorgeous digi image from Jeremiah Ketner called Peony. I have chosen a nontraditional cool toned palette to bring her to life in her lush peony garden. I framed her with a lacy Spellbinders frame that mimics the sketching on the DP on the opposite page. My inspiration quote was created in Cricut Design Space using the writing feature on a lace doily cut from the image library. Small gems and gold foil stars are scattered throughout the pages for sparkle.
I hope I have inspired you to shine your loving, friendly light in the path of someone who is hiking up a lonely, difficult trail. And grab hold of their hand, while your at it. They will be forever grateful and you will be blessed in ways you can't imagine.
