What's Best For You?

This art journal page grew out of a need I felt late last night to create something, anything, in an effort to pull myself out of the slump I've been in. 

I had no particular idea in mind for this page when I started.  I first glued a variety of vintage paper scraps to the page, then added some white acrylic paint, distress ink, rubber stamping, and oil pastels.  I doodled with my Sharpie paint pens along the top and bottom, didn't like how it looked, so I covered it up with some additional sheet music.  Once I had my background, I went searching for an image or text to serve as a focal point.  I looked through a folder of magazine and newspaper clippings that my grandmother had collected.  Most of the articles pertain to gardening, landscaping, or house plants.  For some reason, just a portion of one headline jumped out at me, "What's...best...for you?"

It's got me thinking.
