Carolyn Dube of
Permission to Play - Lets Play has stated that if you don't like a page you can paint over it and start again. W E L L, I wasn't happy with the left page so I made a few changes and completed the right-hand page. When I started my
New Journey it was due to the recurring of my lymphoma and I made the decision to try a new chemo to prolong my life and hopefully put my cancer back in remission. I decided that during the treatment, I would take advantage of the days or hours when I felt good to do those things I love, spending time with family, friends, and working in my new journal or other crafty items and hopefully working in my flowers and yard.
I have made a tag for my journaling which I attach to the coil binding in the appropriate spot for each spread. This is where I write how I feel, what prompted the page I created or thoughts in general. I didn't want to leave space on my pages for a lot of words and felt a tag was the best way to record the details that prompted the spread.
I am also linking to

This is beautiful. I think you made a very smart decision to use all your time doing things you love. Your poppy page came out wonderful, and I love the self portrait ( I am guessing). Your little changes make the whole spread beautiful. Hope you are feeling better right now and hope all the treatments are going well. Hugs-Erika
Beautiful work, Carolyn! I love your idea of using the tags for "info", and I really like the positive-ness of your words on the page.
Much love and many hugs ~

Lovely journal pages, Carolyn and such a great idea to add a tag to write your thoughts on -- might have to borrow that one now and then. It's wonderful you are using the 'good times' to do things you love - so important. Think of you often . sending love and healing energy. hugs, Donna
