My last journal page as Guest Hostess for March.
Out and About has been a good theme for me and I think that many of you enjoyed this as well.
I have been absolutely thrilled at all the inspirational pages
that have been shared over at AJJ this past month.
Visiting your blogs has been a real pleasure and I thank you all for taking time to join in.
I must also thank Susi for the invitation to be AJJ's guest this past month..
It was blogfriends Valerie and Susi who introduced me to AJJ
sparked my interest to experiment and create more pages.
Girls you know you got me hooked.
This page is one from my Stampington Colouring book.
I thought it would be just right to return home
for this last time after all the days being
Out and About.
It had a few layers added as a base, before the digital extras and altering were added.
[notes in my sidebar].
Thank you for all your visits this month following my days out,
its good to be home again,
I gave myself a personal challenge this month to make a page for each day.
Those of you who visit regularly know we said goodbye to our lovely old Collie Meg at the beginning of February and this challenge has helped me to face the world , something to concentrate on when I needed time to myself, to have a purpose. .
Time heals and crafting for sure helps me.
I hope, like me, you will all call back tomorrow to
Art Journal Journey
to see what the new theme for next month
will be.

What a wonderful hostess you have been Yvonne and you must now have the most beautiful book of wonderful pages to keep. It is good to know that it has helped with the loss of dear dog Meg as well as it is such a difficult time for you.
ReplyDeleteThis page is fantastic and I shed a tear even though it is nice to come home the page touched a spot somewhere for me
Love Chrissie xx
You've done well, Yvonne, to process the grief to your dog Meg!
ReplyDeleteYou have made beautiful imaginative journals.
Coming home is not wonderful and so it ends for you this great time and I look forward to seeing your art that gave me so much pleasure.
Happy Day
Elke

I have loved everything you created this month. I'm so glad the art has helped you heal because bereavement can last a long time. I'm just thrilled you took on this project this month, and I am glad I don't have to follow you as host. You have set the bar very high.
ReplyDeleteThat is the prefect way to end the month. Going home is always the best. What a fantastic month it has been-you picked a great theme! I really enjoyed going out and about with you and all the other folks who participated at AJJ. Thanks Yvonne. :) I know how good it feels to do a page every day because I did the same. Congrats on doing that with so much style and glad it helped you get through a touch time.I have been there and know what that's like. :) Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteA perfect page to end your out and about pages this month. Glad to hear crafting has helped get you through. I like to steal away in my room and forget about things myself. It's definitely a type of therapy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, is always good to be home! Thank you for hosting a brilliant theme this month over at AJJ. You have been such a supportive and inspirational host, I love your creativity! Art always soothes my soul and I'm so glad it has eased your heart a little :-) . Happy Friday and wishing you the best of weekends Yvonne! Thanks again! J :-)
ReplyDeleteJust love this absolutely fabulous.x
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. ♥[aNNie]
Just last weekend I had a discussion with another creative that landed us both in the "love to be a homebody" category. :) Sweet journal page ~ it resonates!
ReplyDeleteahhh ... this page is the perfect ending Yvonne for your fabulous challenge. Love the quirky imagery on your lovely page.
ReplyDeleteWe always say, it's nice to go out - but nicer to come home :)
Pleased to hear that your art has helped you through this very sad time.
Wishing you a nice weekend ( and thanks for the kind comment on my post from yesterday x)

ReplyDeletePerfect final page Yvonne, my favourite place too! Crafting is definitely therapeutic and I'm glad it's helped with losing Meg xx
ReplyDeleteAh, it's always nice to come home. Your page is great Yvonne and you and your quirky characters have shown us some wonderful and adventurous days out during this month. I am glad that the project has been therapeutic in helping you through a sad time.

What a fabulous finale Yvonne! Pleased to read that your art has helped heal the hurt you must feel! This quote is so true! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI love your work! I only wish you had an subscribe by email thingy on your blog. I was not able to participate this month as we were out of the country and then when we got home I was horribly sick. I do want to follow you as much as possible.
