Paint Party Friday: Week 4, Year 3 Check-In

Welcome to Week 4, Year 3 of Paint Party Friday! Thanks for all  the positive comments about our new feature - the PPF Painting Spotlight. Last week there were 100 partyers and the random.org number generator gave us #63 for this week's spotlight.
#63 - Dianne Bishop Carey's post last week included 5 pages from her journals and since it was hard to choose, we are spotlighting two of them today. Don't you think her sentiments expressed in these pages reflect exactly what PPF is all about?   :)

As always, please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page URL address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 Check-Ins.
Have a lovely painting-filled week everyone!
