I’ve mentioned circle journals before – that project where we all start a scrapbook/journal and then pass it around until everyone in the group has added their page. Our fall scrapbook retreat is coming up in two days and those of us who did circle journals will swap them for the last time. I just finished, “Things That Tickle My Fancy.” I had to think about that theme for long while. Pink feathery boas and frittatas were the first two fancy things I thought of and neither one tickles mine. I found my list of things much more pragmatic:
children’s picture books
baskets
miniatures
audio books
farm stands
kids’ lemonade stands
rag dolls
old friends together
hot fudge milkshakes
fry sauce
fresh vegetables
full moons
What are five things that tickle your fancy today?
