artful memory-keeping with Carin Cullen
It was half term here last week. And nostalgia and melancholy hit me hard at the beginning of the week as I watched my big girl being…well, big.

Motherhood is by far the most important job I’ll ever do. I fought long and hard to become a mother and am so happy to finally have those precious kiddos in my life. I’m so grateful I was entrusted with their lives. Entrusted to love them, care for them, teach them. To receive their love [...]
I loved making this. I use a lot of pretty notebooks and journals in day to day life, often paying a fortune for the pleasure, so buying a relatively cheap notebook and decorating it myself was a real treat. I will definitely do this again for other journals. I used two of my background papers [...]
I loved making these backgrounds for week 1 of “the Artistic Mother”. They were so soothing to make and I can see many different uses for them. My mind is already full of ideas. My first project was making an art action plan as described in the book. Now I just have to start [...]
