(((Marit))) I know there are no right words to help take away the sadness and at times we all need to take a moment for ourselves. I too lost someone close recently and there was no other way for me than to step away and spend time with those who knew him too. I hope that you can now find comfort and continue to express through your beautiful and inspirational artwork. I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up too with your sewing machine.
Big Hugs Tracey 6/10 xx

As always I love your journal pages.
sorry you had such a tough time last week – understandable reaction, it would seem. I always kept in touch with my ex inlaws and family too. Have a creative week. Helen #4

Oh, and I see that “The Artist’s Way” is sitting on your work table! Enjoy!

Marit- I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like the time you have spent creating art since has been very healing and beneficial to your overall well-being, however. I love the spread that you completed in your journal, whether your “normal style” or not. Stepping outside of a usual style, and doing things completely differently can have it’s own rewards. I consider my own art journal my “Creative Safe House” where anything can happen, good or bad, and nothing is judged! You never know where creative play may lead, and even if I am not happy with the marks and the art I am making I simply try to turn the page and move on to something else. Have a wonderful Valentines Day outing!

Ah Marit, I was hoping to be wrong, am sorry for your loss, losing a friend, whatever the formal relationship, is tough. I love to see you pulling your art into therapy mode and doing something less usual, and tomorrow’s day together will be a lovely life and love affirming way to spend the day. Xxx

Hi Marit, so sorry to hear of your loss. Not at all surprised you felt ’empty’ after such a day. I do hope you are feeling better now. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #1 X

So glad that you are starting to feel a little more like yourself Marit. Such a difficult time and a long drive on top makes everything worse. Love the journal spread with the tangle girl (I’d seen it already on FB in the group). Look forward to seeing how the scrapbook page turns out too. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #8

I understand all these feelings. Last year was a sad time for my family and friends too. I think our crafting helps though as it’s a good distraction. Your journal pages are very inspiring. Hope your woyww is good and wishing you a happy creative week, Angela x5x
