Happy St. Patrick's Day

Nope, I am not Irish, but it is St. Patrick's Day day  and I celebrate green and spring. And I know Ingrid Bergman, the woman whose photo I cut out of a magazine and added to this page, was not Irish either. But she looks fantastic on this page. What a beautiful woman she was.
I  bought myself a new journal a while back.

This is the first page I made in it and I like it.  The paper is heavy enough for a good work out with paint and  glue and pen and other media.
Also
I haven't done a book post for a while and there's been several reads since the last book post.
And if you're looking for a book to read, maybe one of these would interest you.

 All about lobsters- really an excellent read. Who knew lobsters had such a complex and social society? Who knew a book about lobsters could be such a good read?

 This book was a quick read but I love reading illustrated books, and I learned some new things about NY in the process.

This is a lovely and pretty book. A quick read also, but how much of an enjoyable escape it was.
And I've been reading some baking books by the Brass Sisters too. Always looking for a little baking inspiration although I am trying to eat better for a bit since I had so much of my birthday cake last week. But I love their books with some old fashion tried and true recipes. Sometimes its nice to have a little bit of reminiscing for food from your past.

Enjoy your day!!!
And as always, I appreciate you stopping by my blog.
