ππ Here's my work desk this morning π€Έ♀️π₯°
π₯° That gorrrrgeous pile of books π is all 5 of the SOS Journals back home π altogether once again π€ after travelling from home to home across the UK.
⭐ 54 Beeeeautiful Souls answered my call to create, connect and share their JOY ... I will never have enough words to express my gratitude for their kindness ... their friendship ... and support ... it truly means so much!
ππ€Έ♀️π₯° Videos, photos toooo follow π₯°π€Έ♀️π
π€Hmmmm, what else? This wee one popped out singing to keep me company ... she looks a wee bit put out π but only because the Chieftain π held onto his big lugs π when ...
She started .... howlin .. whooops ... singing that is π΅πΆπ΅πΆ
Never had I seen such blushes π how bossy they get telling me the changes I've to make π I loved her popped out shocked expression in the first photo BUT she was having NONE of that after the π Chieftain did what he did ππ
♂️πππ she might just might change her mind π so I'm holding of protecting her with varnish π
πToooo the shining light of my week ... my Dad ⭐ Not being able to sit at my table I worked (from on top of my bed π) on some of my older artwork tooooo create ...
π My 2023 Calendar π€Έ♀️ heart and soul bursting with JOY π I may have got ... giddy ... I may have got teary ... with JOY and Gratitude ... for the SIGNS my Dad sent me ⭐ letting me know he was by my side ... watching from next door ... guiding me ... June is such a difficult month for me leading up to the 4th anniversary of my Dad moving next door ... still so raw ... still grieving ... and why I do what I do π the reason behind the driving force of my own brand
" Just a Girl and Her Imagination"
⭐ Making my Dad proud, doing what he BELIEVED I was meant to do ... to my ⭐ Mum who got a late night telephone call ... who patiently listened to me despite her arm feeling like it was going to fall off holding on to the phone π to my ⭐ Alex woken at 3.23am to look at what I had done and the telling of the white feather that floated down out of nowhere right by my side as I worked online on the painting I call
"my Dad"
π Tooooo this wee sneak peek dedicated tooo my ⭐ Mum that makes us both smile π with words that ring true for everyone at times.
⭐ It's filled tooooo bursting with art and words straight from my ❤ heart π truths with gentle reminders to uplift and fill your Soul with Joy.
π My days are forever different ... my work swirls ... changes ... up and down ... dances with JOY ... hands in the air ... as I say ... THANK YOU ... with gratitude in my ❤ heart ... for this gift of LIFE.
⭐π Thank yooou so much for stopping by, reading my ramblings and sharing my Joy.

Singing or howling, made me laugh, what a joy your table top is! Thrilled for you over the calendar completion and delighted that you feel your Dad’s presence so viscerally. I hear my father often, it’s a bizarre but assuring thing!
ReplyDeleteLove your post and the ladies you show, oh those blushes! Have a great week, love from the Netherlands! Marit #3
ReplyDeleteOh Tracy, how my heart goes out to you this month. Your dad was so big in your life believing in all you do and encouraging you. I know you miss him so much, so very much, but how lovely is it that he sends you little messages with white feathers dropping from above to let you know he is right by your side. That must give you so much comfort. And inspiration to continue with your wonderful skill of drawing and story telling.
ReplyDeleteLove the latest little one on your desk, how wonderful that desk must be with your little characters who have popped in to keep you company, no wonder you varnish them for all time.
Must have a look at this calendar.
Take care and I wish I could whisk my chiropractor up to help you with your back. Nothing worse than back pain to drag you down at times.
Gentle hugs are coming your way

Oh gosh, I wasn't sure if you meant literally "next door" for your Dad, but if you really mean "passed away" then I too share the melancholy of my Dad's passing in June (18th so sometimes falls on Father's Day), although mine was some 24 years ago now but reading your post brought it all back to me and I sit here trying to type beyond the tears. Shame my Mother isn't any support to me, she disowned me a few years ago now and not for the first time either - this time I am being strong and not falling back into her narcissistic company.
ReplyDeleteSo - Getting myself back together - the pink poppies are adorable and those books are to treasure. Your calendar looks lovely as all your drawings are so special.
Thinking of you and Thanks for the visit BJ#21
Hellooo lovely π€ holding you close thinking of you and your Dad ⭐ I'm sorry it made you cry. For me π€ I think of my Dad just next door , never far watching and waiting never far still guiding dropping me messages. Stay strong BJ ⭐ be with the ones that lift you up and love you unconditionally for the beautiful soul you are π I love sat at my desk watching the poppies bloom swaying gently , they bring me joy as the little birds that visit do. Will be thinking of you on the 18th,you're not alone. Sending much love and light your way, take care xxxxxx
