This past month, I have had nothing artistic or creative to share. I have not been journaling, sketching or making anything.
My time has been spent in the garden, the beach and settling into my new home.
What can I say other than, it won't be long and I will have something creative to show.
The roses are happy in their new gardens and are rewarding me with an impressive fall bloom.
The garden journal is about the only journal that has been opened but that is a boring journal with little of interest to share.
Some time was set aside and I have a few 2012 planners added to my etsy shop.

and there has been lots of time playing ball with Ralph the Dog.

Hey, that's just how I was when I moved to Portland last December. It took me forever to do anything artwise! I was caught up with nesting and creating my new home! I still haven't gotten back up to full volume but that's okay!

Take your time. A break is a time of breathing.
