Negatives and positives

After hardly any sleep Monday night - yesterday was a baaaaddd day. Without moaning I will leave it at that! Couldnt sleep well last night either so have eventually got up and started what was going to be a wall hanging but has turned out to be journalling.

As always I have journalled on the back which for once I will share.
"Orange for looking on the bright side. Purple for reflection and thought.
It is essential not to get bogged down with negativity from others or within - it can disable the mind, body and soul. Learn to say No, take a step back, pause, reflect then carry on - Lesson's I would like to try and live by from now on."
For the first time I have added some doodling around the edges and the stamp text. At first I thought I had spoiled it but as it has dried more I don't think it looks too bad. All these are TH stamps - his text seemed to fit my mood exactly!
Leaving the negative on the page and moving on-
I have made this as a gift for one of you lovely folks who said they would decorate a jigsaw piece for me. So who wants it? If you are still up for altering it for me please email me here .
Sherry I would love to do one for you too x If anyone would like me to make them something different then let me know that too - I think you know my stamp collection quite well by now LOL.
Hope today is a brighter day for everyone including me xx

    Fabulous both of them Janet. Love the journaling - we do so need to focus on the positive. If there is still a jigsaw piece going I'll have a go.

    Sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time of it Janet. Your journalling is brilliant. I just love that man with the umbrella stamp. You must have been creating this at the same time of night as I was decorating a Wedding Cake, what would we do in the small hours without our craft!!
    Your second hanging is gorgeous too.
    Take care

    Hope you get a decent night tonight, hun. Your pieces are stunning. I tend to lose my mojo if I have too little sleep. I'm envious that you can do this!

    Wonderful pieces, both of them. I love the sentiment on the first, one we would all do well to take to heart. I so sympathise with your sleepless nights - I know all about those too. Like Sally, I'm envious that you can produce such great work with lack of sleep. When I can't sleep, my mojo certainly does! Hope you have better times ahead.
