Hi everyone,
Yes there sure had been a drought in Wirgie's little world as far as posting here and on other places you may find me. Today was spent in contemplation and thought as I did some much needed 'colouring in' therapy. Sometimes I get my best relaxation when I can sit and colour in and create and just not think about anything outside my little beanie headed bubble. Yes, I'm wearing a beanie today coz it's darn cold and my ears have been 'lowered' so to speak. That is I had another haircut LOL. This was me this morning....
Don't ya love my beanie? Recognize the little fat cartoon kitty on it? It's Pusheen, a little sticker cat character many use on Facebook. My son, DIL & grandson gave it to me last Christmas. It's been very handy today in this freezing cold little hovel ;-)
What was I thinking about as I was colouring in? Lots of things but mostly on how thankful I am to be around, how thankful I am to still have one parent around. My hubby took my Daddy for his oncology check up yesterday. I not able to drive that long drive at the moment. So my dear sweet Herbster took a day off work and did it for me. Daddy got the all clear again and doesn't have to go back until September. Thank the good Lord for this and all the prayers that have been said for my Dad.
As I sat colouring in I thought about the previous years spent going to Little Scrapbook Shop long weekend retreats and all the friends I've made over many years in this rather small paper crafting community in Australia. I say small because there isn't anywhere I go, including New Zealand back in April, where I don't know someone, meet someone or catch up with someone I've only known online or from these retreats. Last week some of us lost a friend from our Little Scrapbook Shop days. It was a really awful shock and something many of us are still trying to make sense of. I don't think we ever will. But as I sat and coloured in, I thought of her and I wished her well where ever she is now. I prayed she may be meeting my dear Mum and that they get to have lots of laughs paper crafting, sewing, knitting and crocheting together where ever they are.
So here's to lost friends, there's been a few of them in recent years. And here's to colouring in! My little bit of calmness in this stormy life we all live in! I've used products soon to be released 2019-2020 Annual Stampin' Up! catalogue. I've coloured in on the back side of a printed vellum sheet with Stampin' Write markers and blended the colour using a Blender Pen, very happy with the finished card!
