Birds Of a Feather
I've hoarded this photo that Ava took of her oldest daughter, Emily, for 21 years. I once helped Em enter a literary-themed Jack O'Lantern decorating contest at the public library with a pumpkin that looked like Pippi Longstocking. She won first place (of course)!!!!! Since Emily's been on my mind lately, I did some journal pages about her, and I've included many of Patricia J. Mosca's affirmations from http://writingaffirmations.blogspot.com/ from her blog at "From the Inside Out," as well as a Hindu prayer for hope. All my favorite elements are also here: a precious girl, watercolor, pink, yellow, a feather boa, and black and white checkerboard! I love you Emma Bean.

How very beautiful! I love the story behind the images and the sweet relationship you have with your sister and her daughter.
I am so lucky. I had the boys; Ava had the girls, and we share our children. When they were tiny, they thought we were completely interchangeable and didn't care whom they crawled in bed with. In fact, Emily's always called me Ain't Mom!
This is lovely. I always enjoy reading your blog and lovely artwork and envy the wonderful relationship as sisters. Lovely colours
What fabulously vibrant pages! There's lots of life, here!! Adorable photograph and gorgeous colors and roses! Very beautiful!!

This is really beautiful. I am still struggling with the idea of a art journal. I love and admire them so much, but haven't found a groove for myself.
Ah, this is charming and wonderful. How sweet of you to honor her with art!
