I was looking through the dollar bins at Target when I spotted this cute little guy. I think he is meant to be some kind of hanging decoration, but I thought it would make a great stencil. So cute...and owls are quite the obsession right now!

So today I had a chance to play a bit with my new stencil in my journal. I used my watercolors, a fabulous water brush, a few acrylics, pens and rub ons.

I love this quote by John Wooden. He had so many little nuggets of truth. How many times have I focused on the things I am unable to do...instead of celebrating what I can do and growing from there. I don't want to focus on the negative things I see in myself, but it sure is hard isn't it!? Let's use the words of a very wise man to celebrate all the wonderful things GOD created in us. :)

Here is a link to a free printable of this same quote, but done differently.
