FIRST JOURNAL PAGES UPLOADED

Here goes my first try at uploading some pix - these are from my Kiss Journal (named after the stitching, but now the title seems to be influencing the contents as well.....)

This first pic shows a young woman looking back on life. I think she's reflecting on what might have been. She's a little sour, a little down, pretty resigned....

The numbers and arrows are thick gesso stencilled directly on the page.


The numbers represent time passing - and the arrows are for her determination, because the only way is Upward and Onward!

Remember back at school? You & all your best friends, giggling in a gang at break time? All those best friends - can you even remember their names?

I was at Junior school at age 4, and I still remember Johnny who made us all laugh, & Hazel who got me in trouble when she told me the wrong answer in Maths: "What's 4 x 0?" She whispered "4" and that's what I said. Duh, the answer was 0 - and to this day I'm still not sure that's right.













Love isn't just for the young - true love lasts all your life!

This is a vintage photo I found on the art-e-zine site (thanks Gillian, who owns the site - see Links for her url). It fits exactly what I wanted to say.

Peter & I have been together 15 years (2nd time round for both of us) and our 10th wedding anniversary is this November. Are we happy? You betcha!













This man is a Craftsman. He is a serious man who takes great pride in his work, making all the kisses to send out into the world.

You're never to old to hug & kiss, as the song says.

He makes sure every kiss sent out is in perfect condition, shiny & new.












This is a vintage page, for fun. The lady on the left is suitably shy and coy, and the gentleman on the right looks solid and dependable - but still with a twinkle in his eye! And the Proper Sort - a believer in hearts, flowers and boxes of Belgian chocolate.
