Let me start by saying that it has been a very long couple of days. My hard drive died Friday night, and had to be replaced, and of course I lost everything. But with a brand new start to the computer comes a brand new start to my art! I was moved to create a journal page this weekend. I have a love hate relationship with pink, but I really can't resist it in the spring. I was inspired as I drove home from work seeing all the beautiful blossoms emerging on the trees, it has been a sea of pink, and very beautiful. I used a bit of a different approach , trying to incorporate not everything old, if that makes sense. It is definitely not one of my better works, but I made it and I am happy about that. I would like to incorporate another style into the way I currently work, so this will be a process, but the process is starting to feel fun again!Thank you all for your wonderful comments and for stopping by, I appreciate it so much!

Oh Sharito - so sorry to hear of your computer breakdown!!! I was wondering what might have happened - I missed you on the weekend - I noticed you weren't anywhere in the 'virtual' world...
Love your pink journal page - although I have a problem with pink myself...
wow, you sure took loosing your files well. i would be absolutely dismayed! your journal page is delighful!
I also once lost "everything" when the flash of lightning hit mine... but it´s surprising how little you eventually miss all those things you lost - maybe we need these new starts (I first wrote "stars" - maybe that´s true, too...) and the computer takes care of that ;)
This is a very good start for your process - wonder where you´ll end up! Pink is a problem for me, too...
Have a nice week!

Oh no Sharon!! so sorry!!Fortunately for your artwork pictures you have your blog and your flikr..but for everything else.. all lost?!This pink is very sweet, perfect for vintage theme. if you need something, pictures or digital sheets, just email me!
So sorr< ro hear about the loss of your hard drive. That is really terrible. But I love your fresh start - as you know I LOVE pink:-)
Hi Sharon. Glad you got that computer fixed. What a lovely pink page!
YAY PINK!!! This looks really fab and I love the doodling - something I often do myself. All the elements hang together really well and I love the sentiment.
It sounds like spring has arrived at last for you - I do hope so.
Glad your computer is fixed!
Have a great week.

gosh I thought I was the only one who felt that way about pink... grin... great pages...
It's a great page, I'm looking forward to seeing more!
For having this love hate relationship with pink, you certainly turned out a beautiful page. I especially like that it is balanced with the browns and yellows.
Dear Sharon, Nice recovery!
my only problem with pink is that I can't get enough of it.......

There's nothing worse than a computer meltdown! It's good news that you're back up and running. LOVE your pink page! So different and exciting to see you work in a different color scheme! I'm just back from a long, self-imposed and much-needed blogging break and I'm happy that I stopped by today to see what you've been up to. Hugs, Terri xoxo
Dearest Sharon,
I love your pink lady, and the use of the brown, and grenish color with it, is so great looking,--
Sharon, I send you a warm hug -
your paperwork is beautiful.

That stinks about your computer! I hear you about the pink...same goes for me. I have such a hard time creating with colors that wouldn't be one of my "first" choices. But you did fabulous! The brown really makes it not so pink. Excellent work!
Hi Sharon,
I love your pink page and the image is just beautiful!Keep them coming:)Hope you have a wonderful day.
Sending hugs,
Marie

This is stunning, Sharon! So happy to see you having fun with paper again, I knew it would happen!! This combination of colours and doing some modern some vintage is very much to my liking. You Go, Girl!!!! Very happy nature inspired you.... xoxox
