Hello friends
I hope your week is going well, I am doing pretty good 🙂
Here is another page from my Teesha Moore inspired journal, I am totally hooked on this at the moment…
I don’t have time to write a blog post at the moment, it’s late and I need to get to bed, but I hope you like my page. I showed my journal to one of my friends and he said “It’s a bit ‘freaky’ and a bit weird”. Oh well that’s me I guess 😉
See you soon
Big love
AJ 🙂

I am in desperate need of some bright colours at the moment so here is another page from my Teesha Moore inspired journal. The image of the pig and the ‘Who says pigs can’t fly’ slogan were cut out of a ‘pigalogue’ I received at work. There is a company is called Pig, they sell spill kits and absorbant materials, they list all their products in a pigalogue instead of a catalogue – I love that. The little pig has been sitting on my desk for weeks just waiting for the right time to appear in a piece of art. And this was the page I made especially for him!
I am really fond of pigs in fact for years I tried to persaude my husband to let me have a pet pig, but he argued that a pig would a) grow far too big and b) would dig up his garden. Both of which I’m sure are true. So I have two cats instead, my Bengal Boys, Bill and Jack, and I’m totally besotted by them. I suppose you couldn’t really have a pig sleeping on the bed with you could you? Or could you!? Well maybe if he took a bath first…
So anyway my week has been a tad on the grey and boring side so far, but I’ve been trying to look at all the positives and one BIG positive for me is how much I love this style of journaling. When my day got so dull I just wanted to bang my head against the desk, I got out my journal, looked through it and thought ‘Now that’s not dull, that’s really bright and juicy, and I did it ‘! It’s such a shame I can’t actuallty do any art while I’m at work, but looking at my journal lifts my spirits anyway.
I shouldn’t really involve myself in other people’s politics but I have to admit that when I heard the news this morning that Obama had been re-elected that brought a smile to my face too. I feared that the alternative would have been such bad news for the US and the world.
Well I hope you are all having a great week, I am going to give myself a good talking to and ensure I enjoy the rest of mine.
See you soon
Big love

Something weird is happening to my computer this is the third time of posting this, the first two times it just disappeared! Let’s hope it’s third time lucky!
Hello friends
I hope you are all well. Well this weekend went by in the blink of an eye and it’s back to work tomorrow!
Still I managed to get some art done and even some housework too (that’s almost unheard of)! I am really loving the Visionary Journaling that Teesha Moore taught at the Call of the Wild Soul Art Retreat and I am now working on the back of the pages I started in her class. This is my favourite page so far. My husband likes it too which is high praise from someone who hardly ever comments on my art.
Actually that is not strictly true, I recently finished three A4 size canvases painting in the way that Flora Bowley taught us (also at COTWS) and he is insisting that they are hung in our dining room. I guess I must be getting better at this art game 🙂
Anyway apologies for the short post but I have a mountain of ironing to do before tomorrow and I also have a presentation to prepare for a talk I am giving next Friday about some of the historical people from my town.
I hope all is good with you, everything is Tickety Boo here.
Big love
AJ 🙂
(Fingers crossed the post stays in place this time)
