Yay! Today I made my first ever collage (as a grown up, that is, I know I made them as a child)! After seeing so many beautiful and inspiring collages at the blogs of Jamie, Shannon and Melba among others I really wanted to try this form of expression. So I gathered some magazines, paper and glue and started. I’d planned to take a picture during the process of collaging, but I got so caught up in it that I totally forgot, only remembering after I finished! I guess that says it all, doesn’t it? I just loved doing this!

 

 

On most days I’m quite happy with the way I look. Sure, I’m no supermodel, but in general I don’t think I have a lot of reason to complain or be unhappy about my appearance. On some days however, I wish I could cover all mirrors and avoid having to look at myself at all. I expect it’s something most women, if not all, experience every once in a while. On those days this collage is to remind me that I am not, in fact, as ugly as I think I am, but beautiful and gorgeous as always, even when I can’t see it at that particular moment.
