NEWS ALERT: ARTFUL JOURNEY COMES TO AN END

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important message: My baby came back! My Wild Girls Circle Journal, which has been gadding about the country for most of the year, finally found her way home -- and two days before the USPS had predicted! She really packed on some weight while she was gone.

Would you like to see some of the souvenirs she picked up along the way?  The first person she visited was Janice in North Carolina, in July of last year. Janice added this:

Next she traveled to see Libbi in California:

In  September she hopped halfway across the country to see Melissa in Ohio:

In early October she went off to be with Ruthie in S. Carolina:

From there she headed north to New Jersey, to see Susan:

I guess it was too cold for her there, so she headed back to California to spend early November with Pam:

Mid-November she actually came back to Texas -- Lindale, to be precise -- to spend time with Raquel. So close, and yet so far!

Love those crazy flowers! By then my little journal had completed half her journey, which is as good a place as any for us to pause. Until tomorrow!
