Best wishes to all creatives this January
The rains have stopped for now as Winter shows it's face &
temperatures plummet, we've even had a sprinkling of snow
giving beautiful bright blue skies alongside frosty mornings.
My first share of 2024 is a journal spread of collage, remnants and
poignant words. Those who visit my blog know I no longer have
time to create as I once did 😢 Care duties take up almost all
of my time both day and night and over the past year
those duties have escalated.
The calendar is key to my world, it authorizes me to function for those
that can not, be their daily guide or reminder and at times it allows me
to seize any gap in the day to do the things I love to do like create..
Creativity is a healer and makes me stronger..
makes me think and appreciate time I have for myself..
gives me strength whilst patiently waiting..
and makes me hopeful everyday..

Seize the day and make the best of every moment...
Take care & stay safe everyone

This is so beautiful Tracey. And I agree. Art is time to recharge and heal one's self so you can do things for everyone else. I love the blues and the brown. And the calendar too!!!! I know your time is short, so I really appreciate you including that calendar and linking up to AJJ. Seize the day is a perfect quote too. I hope you get your weekend time. And thank you for linking up to AJJ and also to TIOT also. And happy new year too. I hope it warms up soon. hugs-Erika
Your journal is lovely, Tracey. I appreciate the your wonderful layering and textures, the colors and the words are thoughtful and inspirational. It's beautiful.
Your art is fabulous and meaningful, and I know how hard you work every day. I think of you everyday, as the little card you sent me is next to my computer! Take care of yourself, Tracey, big hugs, Valerie

Beautiful! Wishing you strength to master all those duties and find time to create. And if it's only a small gap in each day.
Wow, what beautiful and poignant pages! I'm so glad that you have some time to create as you are such an inspiration, and I'm sure your family appreciate all your care duties too - you're a star ❤️. Take care and Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
A gorgeous spread Tracey! Great words!
Happy new year to you. I hope your January has been good so far.

Meaningful and beautifully designed 🎨, Tracey.

Thank you for your comment on my site 😘
Beautiful work, so much lovely detail to find and enjoy looking at. Emma
What a gorgeous serene piece - the colours are so restful. Such a thoughful meaningful piece and something I'm sure you will treasure to look back on when your time is your own.
So loving this. I understand your position but things became impossible to manage with my mum and we managed to get her in a lovely care home. It's some way from where we live but at least now I can visit her without having to spend most of the toime cleaning, washing and gardening so now I can sit and chat with her, when she's awake. It's much better for her as the carers are there night and day and I can go back to being her daughter again. There are also lots of other people there more her age (96 this year)she can talk too. Sending hugs Angela xXx
