"Picnic at the Park" Notepad

We've all been at a "Picnic at the Park" when all of a sudden the woodland critters have discovered that you have come outside with your delicious snacks. Before you know it the ants have formed a line, each tiny insect absolutely determined to bring back home the food you have so generously provided! But as with every outdoor adventure you realize some offerings must be made to the wild outdoors so you sit back, enjoy your picnic and appreciate the breeze blowing through your hair. About the Collection: When I was growing up in a cult I didn't get to make lots of fun summer memories because there was so much work to be done around the house. Family trips were always stressful and difficult for me to enjoy since I was the oldest daughter and had 5 rambunctious siblings. The few memories from summer fun with friends, away from my own family and free of responsibility, are treasured. As an Artist I am blessed with a rich imagination and so I dedicate this collection to my inner child who is now free to live and create her own memories. With this freedom to create I was inspired to make a collection that fulfills my inner child's summer picnic dreams. If you've ever laughed with your friends until your stomach hurt, chased fireflies into the night, or been stung by a bee because you were too preoccupied to notice its presence, this collection will stir up delightful memories for you! If you missed out on fun times and wish you had more time to be a carefree child please join me in reimagining a childhood summer that was filled to the brim with love, laughter, and gallons of lemonade!!! Life doesn't always go the way we hoped and that can bring much heartache and grief. Sometimes the best response to that pain is to love who you had to become to survive and celebrate that strong and brave little child inside you who fought for the chance to be this free. Sometimes when life gives you lemons there's nothing left to do but make “Pink Lemonade!”
