Pride comes before a fall...

Oh yes, it's a very true saying indeed. After all the excitement of the QVC announcement, I should have known better than to expect a smooth quiet weekend. And Saturday morning, down with an almighty bang, from the highest level..!!!

You wouldn't believe it if I told you so I won't.

Our Maisie did her best to cheer me up at tea, with her dinosaur. loved the sunglasses look.


She had also shopped for an impromptu picnic, bless her.


Needless to say, it has taken some getting over, so I have retreated to the comfort of my bed today, not to sleep, but to put in some long overdue journaling hours. Not for work, or samples, just good old Art journaling, therapy for my much bruised soul. I got tons done, and the fog is beginning to lift slightly.







Enjoy xx

Ah Dyan. Just sending you an enormous hug winging it's way across the Atlantic to you at warp speed. Your posts show you to be a very strong person so you will rise above this too. So smart to tuck into bed with your art journal. I love your pages.
All the best,

Oh dear. .......Big hugs. You are who you are and you are strong and so valued by very, very many. Don't forget that and remember to value yourself always.
