Wonder:/ a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something unexpected, beautiful, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.
It’s always interesting how inspiration hits…. This week I was thumbing through a magazine looking for a word or letters for another project when I came across the image of a birds nest in hands.
It made me stop and marvel at the intricacy of how the bird’s nest is put together.
It’s such a wonder how one twig at a time, this little home, comes together.
I then started to think about the word wonder and looked up the definition. The definition was as beautiful as the nest!
And just like that, I was creating this journal page.
I’ll share more about the inspiration in the video.
Hope you enjoy the project!

This is just beautiful!!! I adore the definition. I think I need to look up words that I know, just to find the true definition. Thank you for this moment of beauty in this busy weekend of mine.
Marilyn,
