I’m back from my amazing weekend away at the Call of the Wild Soul Art Retreat. Wow! What an experience: being with 60 amazingly creative and lovely women, a fabulous location in Exmoor, great food and workshops with Flora Bowley, Teesha Moore and Orly Avineri. What more could a creative Wild Soul ask for?
I need to absorb the whole experience before I write any more about it – it was awesome!
So here is my new spread for October for Kate’s Calendar Challenge and below is my completed September spread.
September was a hectic month for me with the big exhibition and 10th anniversary celebrations for Ryde Social Heritage Group earlier in the month, all the upset at work and the Art Retreat that I’ve just come home from. I am hoping for a more restful October, but I somehow don’t think that will happen 😉
I’m off to have a bath and an early night now as I am very tired and have to go back to work tomorrow.
See you all soon
Big love
AJ 🙂
