Layer it on ...

... said Miss Smith, in her Just One Sketch class. And in honour of my now-retired purse, I did. I couldn't resist the doodling - for up in the grey and mild mists of the hills, my eyes are desperate for a bit of colour. So thank-you to Basic Grey, a clutch of felt pens, and my favourite stamps ...

Due to family circumstances, things are about to get a whole lot busier here in the next few weeks, and creativity may need to flourish in even smaller pockets of time and with slightly sparser postings. But rest assured I will be visiting you all as much as I can - as well as pondering Miss Smith's next move, for I hear on the grapevine that it may involve a page with no photos at all ...

15 years? It lasted so well! Love your tribute page with the stamps and beautiful colours :)

Seriously? 15 years?!! Geez, I'm lucky I get my purse to last a year or two! The doodle stamps, colors, letter to a purse! All of it, genius! Fantastic! Good luck with the family biz; gotta do what we gotta do, eh?!

What a fitting tribute to 15 years of daily service!

What a colourful,fitting tribute to a faithful servant.....I've never had a purse that's lasted anywhere near that long......though I do have a Magimix food processor that has just passed it's 35th birthday.....maybe it needs a page in its honour as well.

And what a lovely burst of colour and doodling it is. A great tribute page it reminds of mine to my favourite sandals :)

I love the way you have written this Alexa and your colourful doodling is just so pretty.

[Karen]

Love the journaling. I've had several favorites like that over the years, but never thought to take a photo and memorialize them. What fun doodling, and the bright, cheerful colors are much appreciated here on a gray, snowy day!

That's a lovely page, Alexa. I was looking at a stand at a recent Craft Show and admiring Zentangles which are just another name for doodles. I was quite inspired to have a go sometime. I too have been busy and may have missed some of your recent posts. I'll browse when I have more time, meanwhile I hope things go well for you over the coming weeks and I look forward to reading when your posts when you get time. By the way, I too need a new purse. It is so hard replacing one you are so familiar with. Hope your new one becomes well loved.

I'm of an age where the comfort of old, tested things is way more appealing than newer replacements. At least the color of your new wallet is reminiscent of your old one--hopefully it will have as long a history as its predecessor.
