2016 A Fresh Start

Hello to all my Friends in Blogland, I have been away for a long time and I owe everyone a very large apology for my lack of contact throughout 2015.  I do want you to know however, that I did not stop visiting  and admiring your wonderful projects. So what happened??.......

Basically Mr Mojo left me one day  for no reason and never came back! - can you imagine that! well it was awful I can tell you and to be honest it got to a point that I was not entirely sure if I would ever get back into the swing again.  I owe a big Thanks to three people Anne, Jenny & Rachel who encouraged me to hang on in there as they were by far more confident than I was that it was just a matter of time and guess what, they were right. 

So, now here I am 12 months on having achieved our dream of moving house to the seaside (Norfolk) last October, a huge move from (Cheshire) and enjoying spending my time with my ever loving and newly retired hubby not forgetting one very spoilt doggy who loves his new walkies.

To help me get back in to the swing of things I signed up for Wanderlust  having read about it on Anne's blog. The first class was on 1st January and had us completing a journal page, a path I have never ventured down before but I gave it a go and this is how mine came out.

As Wanderlust is a year of online classes and tutorials run by Jamie and Kasia from Artist Trading Post, I have not done a step by step, but I hope you enjoy the pictures of the completed project.

 

The image that was running through my mind during the creation of this page was a house surrounded by the sea full of love and happiness. 

 

 

 Kaisia asked us to think of one word that describes us today, for me there was only one word that sprung to mind immediately and that was HAPPY.

The journalling reads "Its January 2016 and I feel HAPPY to enjoy life in our new home by the sea, making new friends and having time to catch up with old ones. Being Creative and enjoying fresh air walking the dog" and on the right hand side "Being with the one I love everyday. We laugh a lot and talk a lot, hug each other a lot living life to the full making the most of every day"





 

Just before I go I would like to wish you all a very HAPPY (allbeit a belated) New Year and promise to catch up with everyone soon.
