Mother's Memory Journal Page

With Mother's Day coming up again soon, I have found myself thinking a lot about my biological mother whom I lost to lung cancer 4 years ago in April.  I do not typically do "journal" pages in my journal, but I decided that it was time to do so.  I figured that it would be good for me to release the emotions I was feeling.

I found myself digging through all of my art tools and papers to find things I had which reminded me of her, most of which consisted of rubber stamps that I have recently started collecting again.  I found words which reminded me of her and some florals and butterflies also.  I printed an owl on the page, because my biological mother was a very wise woman.  She was very loving and kind and she was my very best friend.

I decided that since I was feeling so down and out regarding her death that I would use warm colors, such as pink (her favorite color) and some oranges and yellows and then I added a spray of turquoise Dylusions brand Ink Spray to remind me of why I was putting this page together in the first place.

I suppose my real point in posting this is that I have  found that when I'm feeling blue and down and out that doing an actual "journal" page is probably the best therapy for me.  It certainly made me feel a lot better and now I have somewhat of a memorial page in which to remember her by.

Happy journaling!
