MAKE BIG SOMETHING that is small: Thumbprint and Journaling

This is my doodle for today: MAKE BIG SOMETHING that is small. I got directions from Cranial Hiccups (at this link) for making this thumbprint.  

Thumbprint art as a place for writing in my prayer journal.

I made a change though. I put tracing paper on top of my enlarged print and wrote my words. Then I cut out the tracing paper and white paper and glued both to my journal. I intended on gluing in only the tracing paper. But then decided I liked the BLACK thumb print as a background.

I had no plan for the writing. It was a free writing session. Some of the things I wrote about were my diabetes, the December challenges I am doing, and traveling in 2015. I also included this quote, “It will be okay in the end. If it isn’t okay, it isn’t the end.” I believe that John Lennon said that.
