Extracts from my journal - Christmas morning


Extracts from my journal

Christmas Day

A morning filled with excitement.
There’s a buzz of anticipation in the air.

Decisions to be made
Do we open our presents before I join Mum for breakfast.
Should we open one or two 
Should we save them for my return back home.


No snow on the ground.... good.
Otherwise how would I get down the hill.


Chapter One
The first paragraph

A house absorbs happiness, it blooms into the wallpaper, 
the wood of the window frames, the bricks : that’s how it
becomes a home.


I’m hooked, reeled in. A read as atmospheric as the day.

Hello fellow journal wreckers

A few more pages worked in this journal.
Hope the stain comes off my hand.
Still sticking with the tartan theme and overlaying with shapes
I've used Washi tape here
and Promarkers on this page

What's on my workdesk today ..........

Ive got this book WRECK THIS JOURNAL
 You do what the instructions say inside
It frees you up artistically.
Takes you out of your comfort zone.
 I'm giving mine a tartan theme, but you don't need a theme just go along with what the pages say.

Have a look at what Cornwall based Textile Artist Carolyn Saxby is doing with hers, its fabulous
Then come back and have a look at what other people are upto this week
