Lots of fun at AFTH

Last Sunday I treated myself to a day art journaling at Art From the Heart, with Dyan. I haven't had anywhere near enough time for this sort of thing recently, so it was a real treat, and I have to say it was also a real laugh. I worked in My A4 Moleskine and used Dyan's Downloads (fabulously bright and colourful!) to create this journal page. This is how it looked when I left on Sunday, before adding the wording when I got home. I used a few Nancy Baumiller techniques when journaling.

I wasn't sure what I was going to journal about on this page but then I had one of those heart-stopping moments on Monday when, just momentarily, I thought something very serious had happened to my son. When my daughter came rushing in screaming that he had hurt himself, was lying on the floor not breathing and couldn't move, I  suddenly found I could sprint like Linford Christy. Turns out he had fallen off a 6 foot wall. flat on his back and winded himself. He was ok, just a bit shaken, but he gave us all a fright.

I'd really like to say that he has learned a lesson and won't climb walls again......hmmmmmm.....

It seemed to fit in with the words I had already added on the bird, because in England we think everything can be solved with a nice cup of tea :-)

Bye for now.........
