Welcome! This blog is part of the annual "International Fake Journal Month" contest which runs during April each year. For April 2011 I took on the identity of a fictional character, Miss Lili Ann Percy, in my daily journaling and posted pages from her journal in this blog. Lili is a 36 year old Manhattanite and professional furniture designer who chucked it all to move to a small island off the coast of Florida. To enlarge pictures simply click on them. Please enjoy Lili's ponderings.......

    Judi, I read snippets of your blog before, but I was also reading pieces of all the other fake journals. This is the first time I've read it all the way through. I like the story line - you tell a good story. I love the little illustrations, Roz in her Hawaiian shirts, and the pretty beach house. I almost want to leave NJ and live there too.

    Thanks so much, Michelle. Yes, I was trying to create Paradise in Lili's surroundings :-) It was so nice of you to read the whole thing! I hope to finish catching up with the endings from Roz's links tonight, but I enjoyed yours very much as it went along. Thanks again.

    I loved being able to go back to the beginning and read the journal in order. You did a great job on the writing and the artwork. I really like how you combined the sketches and the photographs...nice touch. Great that Roz could be visiting you at the same time she was traveling around Venice. lol Your island sounds like a great place...do I hear Jimmy Buffet music playing? I'm on my way down to visit...I'll leave my flipflops at the door.

    I'm laughing out loud at your Jimmy Buffet comment. :-) Thanks for the compliments, Joan
