Hi my dear Friends!

I am sorry I have been so quiet this week but after coming back to work things have piled up and I was rushing to finish the art journal for my daughter - it was really fun making it and she was really happy - I think quite surprised as she didn't expect it! But a note to myself is that from now on I should do art journaling a page at a time....doing a load of them is fun but on the other hand it takes all the energy out of you for other projects! This week I haven't done anything except a little drawing you will see on my desk! 

I must apologise to all the people who commented on my blog last week and I didn't get round to them I promise I will get round to all of you in the next days! 

Now about the journal - I won't show you all of the pages but just some so you see what I have been doing....you might be surprised that some of my text is in English - since my daughter was a little girl we spoke both in Slovene in English and we still do so now, so that is why some of the text is English and some Slovene! Ok then lets start with the photos:

I put some metal on the corner of the journal and a few dangling bits with her name, the nickname I call her and a little angel ! Also a button and ribbon!

Here are a few pages - the front page .....

and here are some others....  one in memory of our lovely dog Don.....

This one is one of my favourites.... I think I did well on this one....

I think this one also looks good - I saw something similar on the internet and adopted it so that it fits to what I wanted to say basicly it says that life is not always paved with flowers - you have to plant them if you want to be happy.....

Every now and then I left pages empty for her to either write or put photos on them......

This is a page with a photo I took of her a few years ago....I think this page is vibrant and fun....

The last one is about friends - I think all women should have women friends - no man can understand a women as good as a woman can so girly friends are VERY important!

I have shown you the pages that are not so personal as my daughter doesn't like me to show pictures of her on my blog - I will probably get told off for this too but I think you all understand I am  just showing the art of the journal as such ....

I didn't just give her the journal - I gave her a card too and made lovely chocolate cupcakes... very tasty....hmm I might be a better cook then an artist....but hay cooks are artists too....

Here is half of the face of the birthday girl hiding behind our little dog Flo!

 

Here is a photo of my desk - not very good though - I still haven't figured out this camera - some photos are so clear where as others are just rubbish! 

So thats all folks for today!

Have a lovely day and be sure I will be knocking on your door - I mean blog! He, he...

Lots of hugs to everybody
