IT’S
SUCH AN HONOR TO BE HERE!!! Let me introduce myself. My name is Lynne Forsythe.
I live in a small town in Northern NH and have been creating most of my life!!
Secondly,
I LOVE tell on myself. The art journal page I am sharing today was created for
another reason. I was to be a part of the StencilGirl A to Z Collaboration and Challenge. But needless to
say, after the sky fell in March, due to the pandemic, I wasn’t fairing too
well! I had to cancel a large creative event I was hosting and it felt like my
world was crumbling.
I
want to share with you the words I wrote on the day I created this page…..
H
is for HAPPINESS….
Have
to say I haven’t seen much happiness of late. This whole COVID-19 business is
starting to wear on me. Been under a stay at home order for way too long and we
have 18 more days to go. I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK!
In
all of this uncertainty, I have lost FOCUS, WAFFLING around a sea of emotions.
I am an event coordinator not an “essential worker.” I hold creative events
with PEOPLE which right now is NOT ALLOWED!
Then,
my thoughts wander, wondering if I will even be able to hold my October 2020
Creative Happening. All of these emotions and thoughts have brought me to a
COMPLETE STANDSTILL unable to do ANYTHING!
So,
I tried to press through, tried to get back on track. Beginning with the A to Z
Collaboration and Challenge, which I am WAY behind on. I went searching for ANY
inspiration through Poems, Quotes or anything…..I felt there would be nothing
more fitting than this verbiage……
HAPPINESS held is the SEED
HAPPINESS shared is the FLOWER
HAPPINESS shared is the FLOWER
I
used the following stencils:

how I created the paper that I used in my HAPPINESS is….Art Journal page.
THANK
YOU for stopping by to check out my creation!
….until
we meet again
BE
CREATIVE! ~ Lynne
