Years ago I was on my way to Florida and decided to stop in Savannah, Georgia. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to spend some time wandering the streets taking photos with my new DSLR camera. I was especially interested in the grunge, decay and peeling paint found in places off the beaten path. I recall being so intent on getting the perfect shot down this alley, that I stepped back into the road and into the path of an oncoming van. Fortunately, I heard his horn and was able to jump out of the way. EEK!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today's prompt for #decemberreflections2018 is "Biggest Challenge of 2018."
-
My biggest challenge in 2018 was also my biggest decision and that was to close my two online stores. I knew it was time to fit my business into my life rather than the other way around. It wasn't the easiest decision and it was a little scary to move away from the comfortable and familiar, but I have no doubt that I made the right decision for me.

Today's prompt for #decemberreflections2018 is #shadows and this one was taken of a window display in Canterbury, England. The sun was in the perfect spot to capture the shadows. Not only that, but the display was colorful and truly unique. I felt lucky to have passed by it so I could capture it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today's prompt for #decemberreflections2018 is the Biggest Surprise in 2018. That's a tough one, but I was looking back at my photos and recalled something I learned while teaching in Belgium. One of my students, @maritbentvelsen showed everyone that you can spray your watercolors with water and then place paper on top, press and voilà - you get these beautiful inky papers! Who knew!? -
What was your biggest surprise in 2018?

Home is many things to me: love, family, security, peace and comfort. With the ocean nearby and tall palm trees, I am blessed to call Florida my home!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today's prompt for #decemberreflections2018 is The Best Book of 2018. For me, any vintage book I can alter into a handmade journal, is a "best" book!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm especially fond of the ones I found in a little bookshop in Damme, Belgium this year in September.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
