How long ??

Well I've had a fabby weekend. Socialising, journaling, dancing, journaling, journaling, journaling and a loooooooaaaaaaad of cutting out.!! There was so much I listened to 1 1/2 audible books which equates to 23 hrs. Ummm mebbes I forgot to sleep amongst all this. No wonder I spent tonight with a migraine, oops.Anyway the 2 books I listened to were The girl who played with Fire, and The girl who kicked the Hornets nest. Parts 2 and 3 of  Stieg Larrson's trilogy. I can thoroughly recommend them. I have always been a voracious reader, but with so little spare time on my hands, it has had to be sacrificed. Art Journaling has a greater pull, greater need, and greater therapy, lol. But now I can listen to the books at the same time as doing my journaling. Yayy for someone as hyperactive as me it is the perfect solution. Sorted..!!!!!

Heres two more Ledger journal pages for you.

Paints - Dylusions black
stamps - Dylusions, wings - Tallulah Tripp

all other images and words - magazines

Mica Spray ink - Dylusions, Burnt Orange Mica Pearl, Granite Mica Pearl

Ok, methinks I need a cup of tea.

New things to play with.....

Thanks for all your really positive comments for little Sadie Boo, they mean sooooo much and really make you put everything else into perspective. She started her chemo today, so the long journey has begun.!"!

I,ve had a major visit from the Mojo fairy this week and have designed and journalled my little head off. Big yee hah for middle of the night creativity, don't you think.???

I have 10 new downloads for you available in the shop. Yup 10, how cool is that.?? I get asked a lot to make downloads of this and downloads of that, but I'll let you into a little secret, I make the downloads that I really need and can't seem to get elsewhere (well maybe not all on the same page).!! Thats why they are such an eclectic mix, from quirky quotes to big heads!!  If I can't find what I want then I have to make it, and hopefully you'll like it too.

We start off with 3 sheets of wierd and wonderful sayings. I always like to add a quote that is totally irrelevant to what I,m doing. The first one has such gems as

"I don't like you, you're very ugly and you've no manners at all" and

"My bridgeworks come out in the lamb chop!"  HERE

Sheet 20 includes

"see that your tackle is in order, leave nothing to chance" and

"would you mind toasting the crumpets"

Sheet 21 includes

"theres mighty queer things going on in this town, mighty queer" and

"what will Mrs Gubbins say?"

Sheet 22 is large eyes and glasses. It is very rare thatany of the figures on my journal pages have the eyes they started off with. Wonder what the psychologist would make of that, lol.!!

Sheet 23 tons and tons of small eyes and eyewear.

                                                        

Sheet 24  I can't draw hands for toffee, look at my stamps, no hands to be seen. So heres a motley selection. My fave has to be the skeletal hand, lmao.

Sheet 25  the doll bodies, love, love, love.

Sheet 26  oversized heads, with altered eyes of course, lol.

Sheet 27 creepy crawlies are always the perfect, quirky finishing touch.!!

And Sheet 28 More hats and neck ties than you can shake a stick at.!!

And here's some of my pages.

Paints - Dylusions, blue, green and white.

Stamps - Bits and bats, Doollaly Dorris, How does your garden grow, Tallulah Tripp, and Love stuck |Lucy.

Down loads - words D15, bugs D27, Houses DL9,

Okay, a large Baileys and ice is screaming my name from the kitchen and I can ignore it no longer. Well that would be rude wouldn't it..?? lmao

The shittiest news in the world...!!!!

I start this post with some heart-breaking news.  The most beautiful grand-daughter in the world's littl cousin, the gorgeous Sadie Boo is extremely ill in hospital. She is more like a little sister to Maisie (only 14 mths), than a cousin and she sees her every single day. Sadie has been poorly for a long time now, but no one could get to the bottom of what was wrong. They have now found out she has cancer, not just a bit of cancer - a frikkin lot of cancer, and not just any old cancer - but an extremeley rare and nasty cancer. She has Neuroblastoma stage 4, and it  has spread through her adrenal gland, kidneys and now into her bone marrow.

"WTF"..?????

How frikkin shit is that..???

We are all praying as hard as we can for a miracle and hope you will join us.

For those of you who are local to us, we have an event on Sunday

	07 November · 18:00 - 19:00

KNARESBOROUGH TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB

BRING ALONG A CHINESE LANTERN AND LETS FILL THE SKY TOGETHER AND SAY A PRAYER FOR SADIE ROSE AND HELP HER WIN HER BATTLE AGAINST CANCER TOGETHER, PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LANTERNS XX

Maisie's mum, Lucy, came up today and I helped her make a canvas for her sister Katie. I think she has done a fabulous job, don,t you .??
 

Just look at her little face. Lifes just not fair sometimes, is it..??

                                              

Can you guess what this started out life as..??? Ha ha yes its a sick bowl which she loves to wear on her head, so we gave it a makeover..! Much more acceptable for a little lady, don't you think.??

Onto nicer things

This is the lovely Pat's journal  from our round robin.
