What books and/or magazines did I read this month? I have been reading an Art Journaling book from the library.
What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month? I watched 'The Man Without A Face' last night. I watched 'Back to the Future 2' and also 'The Wizard of Oz' with Sam. Oh and on Wednesday I watched 'The Bridge to Terabithia' which was WONDERFUL!!
What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends? Where do I start??? Too many to list. May was a completely FABULOUS month and I have so many memories of smiles and laughter. A few that stand out are the funfair with Sam and Abby, Sitting on the deck at sunset with the three youngest - lanterns lit and cups of tea to hand - listening to Susannah play guitar and sing :) Katies Crossing with Kaleigh and Ki...
What gifts did I give and/ or receive? Mothers Day was more like 'Mothers Weekend' and I was completely spoiled and made to feel so incredibly loved. The messages in the childrens cards were overwhelming. The song Susannah wrote for me and sang with Laurence - so very touching and emotional :) I felt very VERY lucky.
As for giving gifts? I gave quite a few...but I don't want to share that here.
What special or unusual purchases did I make? I bought Dylusions for the first time and fell completely and utterly in love :) They have transformed my art journaling. I bought two ankle bracelets/ anklets - didn't think they were my kind of thing, but the two I got are soooo me and I just love them :) Now I wear them every day :)
What illnesses or health concerns did I have? I have been lucky to have been very healthy in May apart from a few migraines that were easily dealt with. Too many people around me were not so lucky and I send healing thoughts to them - or to their loved ones xxx
What were my accomplishments this month? I filled more than one and a half art journals. I took part in the '29 Faces in May' challenge and stuck to it - managing to draw all 29 faces :) I wrapped up my teen art journaling group. Sad for it to end. I restarted The Art House and have been overwhelmed by the support for it and for my passion! I KNOW I'm doing the right thing :)
What were my disappointments this month? I am sure there were several, but because I don't dwell on those things, I don't remember them either!
Anything else noteworthy to include? May was a wonderful month with mainly gorgeous weather that made everyone feel so much better :) Even the rainy days had perfect timing and were a joy to see! I really have to say that when I think back on all we did and all the places we visited, we are incredibly lucky and blessed to have such a great life!
