2021 Bakers Dozen

 Hello creative Friends 

How fast this year has flown I can hardly believe 

it's time again to reflect back on artwork of 2021. 

Starting with a page from my Care December Junk Journal, 

without those early morning 5 minute prompts from Kasia Avery 

I know I'd have not set foot in my craft space during December.. 

Words of comfort guiding the start to my day, each prompt gave 

me inspiration on how to reclaim a little piece of each day..

This unshared page I believe fits well with Valerie's Theme

May 2022 bring good health and peace to you all. 

Stay safe and ever creative

Bringing in the New Year with: 

Paint Party Friday

Doorway to creativity..

Hello creative friends 

Last weekend I was gifted a new journal with 

pages made completely from recycled coffee cups.

 

As Valerie is December's host @ Art Journal Journey 

often sharing her love for coffee I thought I'd dedicate 

Valerie's theme and title to this new creative journal... 

*When one door closes, another one opens*

With stenciled crackle paste brickwork, I've adhered a 

wooden door with decorative wreath and over door swag. 

Modelled from memories of past visits to Dublin Ireland, 

with it's rows of Georgian terraced house's and large doorways.

I wonder how many people have climbed those mossy steps and 

will continue to visit family and friends throughout the years. 

A timeless invitation of warmth, security and 

companionship from the past, present to the future. 

Which just leaves me to wish you all a very 

cosy Christmas from my house to yours..

Stay safe and creative 

Hugs Tracey xx
