Lost IT

Isn't fun when you forget how to do something.


I use to have an App that I could user to update my blog.  That no longer exists and using a tablet is problematic.




I have been doing lots.


  • Scrapbooking
  • Art
  • Photograph classes
  • Studying French


Not to say the least, stay healthy.  How are you going with that?







The photos are light painting but I need to edit them.


Thanks for your time.

Favourites


My calender is getting so full and I have lots I want to do.


I'm trying to squeeze a 25 kms walk to raise funds for Peter Mac Cancer Research.

If you have any ideas give me a shout out.



This was the start a scrapbooking page for a girls night before my cancer surgery.  It was painted with watercolour with a shimmer topcoat.



I love this and it's exactly what art means to me.

Moving on from a bad experience.

Those who have children will associate with this.


Keep on keeping on.  Continue doing what you love.

How long has it been. Too long

How many of you listen to podcasts?

I do from time to time. They can be art based or self help. I do quiet enjoy them. Sometimes they're just playing in the background.

Have Craft Alive this weekend. There seems to be more people around this time which is great.

I made the following page up as a kit:



If you would like to purchase the kit get in touch.  This Little Dreamer range is stunning.

Inspiration

Whst fo you use?

Feel stuck?

I look at Pinterest, old art journals, old scrapbook pages.

Above is an image from someone I follow on Instagram.

Art books, magazines are also great sources.

I'm also part of www.atcsforall.com and some of the themes are great inspiration.






The theme here is Ghost Children. Being childhood friends that we have lost or lost contact with. This is Jenny and she was diagnosed with Cancer when we were 12. Sadly she didn't make it. Jenny was the first person I knew that had developed cancer. This is one of 4 cards.

Fill Your Life



I love this saying and it really strengthens the reason why I scrapbook.  Living is for enjoying and being in the moment.

A life re-reading the past is a life wasted.

If you have some troubles these can released via a journal or art journal.  I once read a book, a very long time ago and it said if something is troubling you and you can do something to change it, DO IT.  If you are unable to change it, write a letter to yourself.  This letter can be on paper it could also be in wet sand.  The letter could be written in your art journal.  The purpose of the letter is that it goes.  If on paper you can throw it in the bin, place it in an envelope, glue it shut and put it in your journal.  If written in your art journal, paint over it.  You will always remember what you have done but the worry will be gone.

Life is precious so enjoy every moment.
