Tina sent this card for Christmas. She gets me, and knows I would be so touched by the deer. Inspired by her beautiful card, I wanted to make some pages so I could place it in my journal. That's why I was taking photos of falling snow at night – I was somehow compelled to set the deer in a faux snowy woods scene. The journaling, which you can't see, tells the story of my friendship with Tina, the significance of the deer, and the meaning behind the snow, and the captured orb that looks like a wink. A family friend told us recently that when she was watching over us as little kids she had asked my brother and sister and I what we might want to be if we couldn't be people. My sister chose a snowflake. Layers of storytelling. I think of this as a triple wink page. Love that.
