… ‘tis the stranger from Inky Fingers :-)

Sorry I’ve been so noticeably absent but I just haven’t wanted to stamp or do anything much for a while.  Life happens, hey ho, so I’m trying to get my ‘act together’ at the moment. 

I have been playing a little in my journals, though more off than on and more words than art, as you can see below…

I had fun making colour charts for my Inktense pencils, too, though I’ve yet to do the same on watercolour paper, which I really must do.

I even got as far as going up in my little room and splodging inks but I just didn’t feel like using any of them. When I saw yesterday's date, however, I thought I’d better get my journal pages for the monthly mingle I’m taking part in done, before the month is over. I wasn’t happy with the first two pages, so I’ll put them in my own journal.  Here are the pages I made today.

CW to LE

I did some tidying up of stamps while there, too, though I have a shoe box full of stamps which need cleaning, but I’m hoping to get back in there soon and get back to ‘normality’ – whatever that is…..

Hope to ‘see’ you soon!

for the Journalling mingle.  I enjoyed this one.

I love flutterbies, colour and all things French!

This fits nicely into Susi’s Art Journal Journey Challenge for June, which is ‘Let us Fly’.

I’m rushing off to town, now, because if I don’t go early it will be chaos.  The Olympic torch is due there this afternoon, on its way from Liverpool.  My Dad’s home from New Zealand (he and Mum live there now) too and I’m looking forward to seeing him.

Enjoy the double Bank Holiday, those of you in the UK!  I know I will :-)
