More Journal Pages & a Photo

Hi you all. We had lovely weather yesterday, very cold, but bright and sunny; it was good to see the sun again. Today should be the same, so hope to get a free hour this afternoon to go for a little walk. I now have my *time-table*, so Mondays to Fridays are filled with different therapies, even gymnastics - gulp!! Hope I survive it! And this evening I plan on doing some painting with some of the ladies here - I planned it with one lady, and then others heard, so we will be having a painting class in the common room; should be fun!

Yesterday when I came back from breakfast, the moon was still in the sky, it looked so pretty, I just had to take a photo.


And here are the journal pages I made at the weekend. I have used different shades of blue, together with some white and red for the basis layer, and scraped the paint on with a loo roll! Then I used some vintage book paper and sequin waste to give some texture, and added a bit of stamping, before doing some doodling and collaging. Whatever, it was fun to make!





Hope you have a good day, take care of yourselves and thanks a lot for visiting!

    Well trust you to organise a painting class I do hope you will share to creations with us. I bet they all are so pleased to have such a talented lady in their midst to motivate them. Great journal pages , I have to say That blue you use is amazing and as for the images and doodling fabulous as always.

    You will soon have the place turned into a crafters paradise! I too hope we get to see the paintings. Beautiful photograph, Valerie and your journal pages, as always, as most interesting. Have a good day and try to behave yourself in gym class. (It's great to hear someone use the word 'loo' ... I miss it!) hugs, Donna

    Well done on getting everyone else organised. I'm sure it'll be lots of fun. How inventive you are being! I wonder what you'll put the paint on with next?? Love the blue with the touches of red and you must have so much patience and skill to cut out those ladies so neatly. x

    Oh Valerie, you've made me laugh this morning - gymnastics - hope you're not going to be balancing on a beam! - maybe just rolling around on the floor or prancing around waving a long ribbon! Wonderful news about your wee painting class - that hospital will be employing you next! Fab journal pages - nice bright colours - wishing you a sunny day! Suze xx

    I love your journal pages.... great colours. The faces remind me of a book cover from my latest read. One Day.

    Hope you enjoy your gymnastics!!! Remember to warm up before you start doing your backflips and hand stands!!!
