This is a journal page from my Fairy Journal that I have tweaked digitally for a challenge at the Three Muses blog this week. The theme is Quote and Journal Page.
So this page has one of my own quotes I created for my Believe Fairy Journal, and the original drawing, plus some digital elements added for fun.
I’ve been working on my Believe Fairy Journal lately while sitting on the couch in the evenings. Thought I’d start sharing some of those pages with you. This is the first page.
The whole journal is going to be filled with all things fantasy, fairy, magic, and make believe. I just got myself some more artsy supplies that I can use in the house when I want to journal. It is so much easier than having to run out to my studio to get supplies, and then have to take them back when I’m done so I’ll have them out there!
And the Believe Fairy Journal continues…
In my ongoing effort to get my creative juices flowing again, I’ve decided to start a brand new Visual Journal. I’m calling it Believe, and it will be filled mostly with fairy and fantasy-related art, doodles, prose, poetry, doodles, and what-nots. I’ve only done the cover so far.
I’ve always believed in fairies. I can prove they exist, because they are constantly stealing socks from my dryer! So I figured, why not devote an entire visual journal to them? Do YOU believe in fairies?
There’s so much magic in the world of fairy, after all. It’s a sort of wonderful, magical Neverland, waiting to be explored on the pages of my journal. A place where dreams come true, and a place where anything is possible. I think my mom is guiding me to this…to a place that will let me forget my troubles and find some sunshine. If I just close my eyes, my inspiration will be waiting…and I can hear her saying…
You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming?
That’s where I’ll always love you…that’s where I’ll be waiting.
I never really understood the terms, trailer trash or white trash, until it moved in next door to me. Now it greets me on an almost daily basis with loud, obscene “music” playing from speakers pointed directly at my house. It would take me far too long to explain the freak that is my next door neighbor here in this post, so if you have interest, feel free to visit my personal blog.

But when I decided to start my Button Book, there’s no way I could leave the freak next door out of it. I probably should have put him at the front of the visual journal! But I didn’t really want to see that first thing, each time I open it. So I just stuck it in randomly.
What can I say? I cannot stand lipstick…or “yuckstick,” as I affectionately refer to it. It’s disgusting. It tastes gross. I don’t even think I’ve ever owned a tube of lipstick, and I doubt I ever will. Flavored lip gloss (on rare occasions) is the closest I get to wearing lipstick. So this odd pet peeve of mine had to appear in my Button Book visual journal.
OK, one of my pet peeves for sure is when women wear too much makeup. I can’t stand it, nor do I understand it. So I had to dedicate a page to it in my visual journal. (If I had all the money some women spend on makeup in a year, I could probably pay off my car.)
