WOYWW #621

 WOYWW - All the deets on how to link up etc. and, more importantly, why you should, can be found at the top of the page.  Thank you Julia for hosting another week of fun and mayhem.

I am trying to catch up with all that must be done, my Blog has appeared on the scene and has now been 'fitted in'.  Expect to see me featured a bit more often although not so many photos.

My desk this week has been covered in Butterflies . . . . the brightly/pastelly painted type!!

I found every die, almost, that I have and diecut them out.

I found some pretty paper while I was clearing out, so much but these two sheets would be perfect.

So, do I hear your ask, what will you do with all those butterflies?  Well, several have already flown away, some are waiting to fly and the rest are settled in a box for future use.

Sad but pretty . . . .

On a brighter note . . . .

Look what I have found . . . .

Given to Peter by our own MaryAnn way back in 2016 . . . . a really joyous find!

As the 'follow by email' links will no longer work soon, I have added a Bloglovin' link.  Hopefully I have done this correctly so that when you click the link your name will be added and you should receive all my future posts in an email from Bloglovin.  Any other Blogs which you follow under the Bloglovin' banner will also appear in this single email.

I prefer to use this banner and every morning, I settle down with a coffee and read my emails all contained in this one place.

So 'click the link' and continue to be amazed by my artworks, laugh at my silly adventures and applaud my hard work.  

Above all continue to enjoy!

Hello

 I'm still here, living each day as it comes. . . . . .

I don't seem to have the patience any more to mess with my laptop AND blogger so I am ignoring them both.

I will catch up with my cardmaking, ATCs and my adventures . . . . . yes, still having adventures . . .  they're nearer home for now though.

Hopefully, if the good weather continues, I may get out into the garden.  I have plans for the greenhouse, not for growing tomatoes but plants that I really like!!

By the way . . . . the island does really look like this now . . . 

Easter Day

 

Six Months

 Six Months to the date - 3rd

Six Months to the day - Saturday

Six Months of loss, pain, tears, need I go on.

Six Months of fighting HSBC to obtain access to my money

I am really trying to go forward.

I keep hitting hard patches and want him here 

To help me out

To sort it out

To do it for me 'cos I can't

I didn't know it was going to be like this.  When we spoke of being the one left behind, which we did often, we saw only the greenness

We would have all the room in the bed . . . . . .the big empty bed

We would have all the quilt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . on the big empty bed

We would eat what we wanted . . . .  . . . . . . .  even though it has no taste

We would get up when we wanted  . . . . . . . . .but what for

What fun we would have

On our own

BUT

It's not like that at all

It's not like that at all

I know that life goes on

I am trying to embrace it

Trying to remember I am very Blessed, I have so much . . . .

and Jesus loves me

Why? I don't know
