The Webster’s Pages Everyday Poetry collection seemed so perfect for this moment and I had a lot of fun working with this line! 😀 Here’s what I came up with for my take on Annette Gearside’s awesome sketch:

For my take on the siwas challenge I used part of the song lyrics as my journaling. For this week’s challenge, CLICK HERE. Hope you have a chance to play along!
