So apart from a bit of garden tidy up and a lovely Sunday Lunch at a Country House Hotel in Wiltshire - I got to have a good catch up on my Journal 52 challenges !
I have got my backlog down to just being 4 challenged behind !
This was on the theme of Courage .. using up scraps of paper, some Tim Holtz stamps & one of the personal mantras I try to repeat to myself when I have challenging situations to deal with !
This one was Positive Words ... a good dig about in my "Words & Quotes" stamp folder yielded these stamps !
Very simple as it is a card of a painting that I really liked - this is "Favourite Animals" .. my Adorable Alpacas !
And now the theme was Passion ... I liked this quote "there are many things in life that catch your eye, but only a few that catch your heart - pursue those !" this is about my passion for all things Artsy-crafty !
This was "What Refreshes You In Mind Spirit & Body" ? I got to use a new Sweet Poppy stencil - recycled an M&S pyjama label and threw in a bit of punching for good measure !
A Day In My Life ... one my everyday Work Day - and my escape day last weekend !
A Page for Healing - Chakra Healing ... featuring the Chakra colours & symbols
Well phew - that was a blitz of Journalling but I was in the zone as they say !!
And I made a couple of cards too to get in the post this morning
This box card is for my Auntie who loves her garden ...
And a Thank You card for my MIL .. who is a very elegant lady herself !
Just one picture to share with you - thought you might like this Red Admiral Butterfly on the Cosmos where we enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch!
Have a great week

It certainly was a mixed bag with the weather this bank holiday Ali. For us Monday was very wet & chilly so we didn't do much , just stayed in & kept dry.
