Thank you to all my fellow Soul Journallers and friends for popping by to visit lately....
This is my latest pages for our Soul Journal that Sarah Whitmire is running. The theme is home and your neighbourhood. Below is a close up of the first page.... my home (which actually looks nothing like my home). It is rather a naive picture of a house, much like children draw... which by the way Sarah said was fine. The significance of this page for me is that I have included the no.s of the houses we lived in as children, to our current home. 11 Howe St., Mooroopna. 22 Glenlyon Ave., Shepparton, 35 Morrish Road, Shepparton and I currently live at No. 175. My neighbourhood??? Well sort of.... I had to put the picture of the mosque/church in the neighbourhood as when we first moved to Melbourne there was a big mosque built near us. I have always loved the architecture. Also, I love older European buildings/neighbourhoods so wanted to included that in my neighbourhood picture too , its a bit of a make believe neighbourhood! Finally posting a picture of my Soul Armour page. I was a bit behind with this one due to lack of printing facilities. We have horses on our farm and they are a very important part of our life, so I wanted to include a trusty steed as part of the Soul Armour. I am still going to stamp the words "Soul Armour" on this page (knew I hadnt quite finished it!!!). I am really enjoying using a lot of colour in these pages.
Just so you all know, our new kitty Tinkatink is settling into family life very well... I found Oakey and Tink curled up in front of the fire having a nice little snooze together. Their colours are actually quite complimentary.
I am working on a fabric page for a round robin book this weekend. My page is for Belinda Schneider (whose art I just love!!!!). Will post a pic after the weekend.
Have fun this weekend !!!!

I love your house and neighborhood. totally a fantasy place to be happy and safe. your kitty and puppy are so very adorable together.
Love the colors in the dome and the buildings - you have a confidence with color that I greatly admire! Hope to see your horses in the part of the assignment where we populate our home with our families! Thank you for sharing. Jane
Gorgeous houses! I love the dome and the colors you chose. They have a very dreamy quality to them and I love that you added all your past houses. I still dream about my childhood home but it's always in a simpler "kid memory" form. When I went back with older eyes I didn't recognize it. :)

What a lovely little neighborhood....a place I wouldn't mind calling home :o)
Glad to see the newbie fitting in.....sooo cute!
Jacky, your journal is looking so awesome, you are making me very envious! I wish I had more time to work in mine!!
Just adore the house and the neighbourhood and the meaning behind them all.
Your new kitten is adorable and your dog looks just like mine, is it a Maltese cross?

Great journal pages Jacky! I am getting started on a fabric journal next week.
Your journal pages are wonderful. Love the neighbourhood you have created from your memories. And what a sweet photo of your pets!
Jacky - I think these pages are fantastic! And I like how you have incorporated numbers from homes you have lived in.
Gorgous photo of Miss Tink and Mr Oakey too!
You are doing a great job. Lovin' your work. I finally have my house done! Swing by for a piece of birthday cake and a cup of coffee.
love your neighbourhood Jackie, esp. your mosque looks great..x Keron
Jacki, these are gorgeous pages...I love opening your blog site, because I know I will always get a smile!!!
They say the home reflects 'our self' in dreams and art!
You must have a beautiful spirit, because it reflects in all your work!
thanks for the comment on my blog - i'm loving your art and your banner is just adorable :o))
Thanks for visiting!
I love the colors and numbers on your soul journal houses. There's something about numbers...mystery...not words with a message...very nice. Also, the drawing style is open and flowing, not "like children" at all. I like it very much. We get stuck on the "realism" idea, but they look like houses, and they are beautiful. Your basket full of kitties is very inviting :) wish I could fit in there.
loving your journal pages jacky, and as for your furballs, they are the cuuuuuuuutest.
xxxx
Your houses are so much fun...love the significance of the numbers.
And about little kitty..it's very important that your pets don't clash...that would be unacceptable! LOL
Happy Soul Journaling!

Love your soul journal pages! What a tremendous idea! I wonder if I could ever catch up if I started now? It has been entirely too long since I did something just for me! And the pic of your babies...toooo cute!
Jacky - I can't stop looking at the house pages! Everything on them sings... Love how you added your numbers on the house. Beautiful!
I love how your home and neighborhood pages turned out! Very cheerful, fun colors. And I love that you included the numbers from your past houses as well as the current one.
Love your Soul Armor, too - complete with a horse! :-)
