My first pages.....
....you may remember my post last week when I was about at the end of my tether with this. I was surprised at how difficult I found it, I was finding the writing felt false and contrived and the art – well – I justy couldn’t get my head round that at all. Anything I did looked like my 6yr old had done it and I couldn’t see the “point” of it at all.
I put the journal to one side and despite wonderful comments from you all I had more or less made my mind up not to bother, or at the very least to just do the writing and forget about the art.
I have had such fantastic encouragement/counselling from two of my good friends and I was so touched by how much they care that I promised to have another try – and this “Spring” page is the result….....and I actually kind of like it!!
The other page you see is the only one I did last week without ripping it up, and although I don’t like it at all, I have decided to keep it.
I’m hoping that now I have made a start and actually got a page i don’t detest I will gradually find it easier as the weeks go on. I won’t give up yet anyway!!
Thanks to everyone who commented last week when I was down, and Sally R – I couldn’t have done it without you!!
