Finding a solution Hemocode test done and BOD pages!

I decided to blog along with Effy on her 30 days of blogging yes i'm late but better late than never i say !

So today i bit the bullet and went for a Hemocode test well that was an event in itself !  I guess i have thick blood as i got every finger pricked two or three times and could only produce a morsel of blood. It just kept stopping.  I am so desperate to find out what is causing my stomach upsets headaches and bloatedness.  I am still waiting to see a GI specialist and a dietician but it seems to be taking forever.

So the Hemocode tests you for 250 items to see if you react to any of them i hope and pray it is a solution to how i'm feeling so i can get feeling well again.

Some days i feel so tired after eating i just can't be bothered doing anything but i try and force myself to do at least some art journalling.  I find this so therapeutic and satisfying.

I am in the midsts of life book Book of days with Effy Wild and 21 secrets so i have plenty to do.  I love my lifebook and i love BOD with Effy the facebook groups are so friendly and inspiring.  Learning tons.  Here or a couple more of my BOD pages.

Life book 2013 week 5 and 6 art journal pages

Hello my bogging friends !

I had a busy week but i did catch up with my life book so here i am sharing two art journal pages... the first was taught by Kelly Hoernig it was based on a game board layout for my years journey.  My word for this year is TRY so i made this my game layout .  I sometimes feel i don't try enough and give up easy or convince myself i just can't do it !  so i really want to try lots of new things this year and finish and learn projects and techniques.  I have made myself the caterpillar but i do have my little skates on just the push i need .. and at the end of the year i am hoping to have evolved into a beautiful creative butterfly.


My next page was taught by Tamara Laporte and it was about courage !  I chose an old oak tree as my image for strength and courage.  i love this tree to me this tree represents courage and endurance as well as strength and balance.  I need to find balance in my life and the courage to find the strength i need to take me on my creative journey.  I enjoyed this lesson.. click on the images for a closer view and i would love to hear from you ...

Gelli prints washi tape and week 4 life book

I have had a great couple of days creating, I had my friend over to play on tuesday and we got out our Gelli plates which we have never used !  so i am sharing a few of my prints with you... It was very trial and error with some real disasters which we managed to salvage by the end of the day ! we had so much fun.....




Today i had a try at making home made washi tape i used napkins and tissue paper which i stamped ! i found some double sided tape at the dollar store in three different widths so i thought i would just give it a go seems to have worked !


I also played around with my week 4 life book art journal page scales of light taught by Dion Dior what an interesting class !!    although my hands are not perfect i loved the look i achieved the chinese symbol means light i apologize if it's not very accurate !
