Today I wore my new winter shoes for the first time and although it wasn't that cold I smiled at the thought of wearing them dressed up with stockings and my red winter scarf! So the seed was planted to find some wintry arty treats in red and white! Above Berries in the Snow Print by dmparkie

Joy

I need some JOY inside! Its been a crazy few weeks, there seems to be drama all around me. Its time for some quiet, peaceful and creative time. I've given myself a present today!!! The gift of my creativity ... from here on in Thursdays are mine! My boys are off being looked after very well and playing with other kids their age and this is my time to create! I have battled with this decision for months, but no more. I have finally realised that I will be a better mother to both of them if I give myself some time too! So today I am painting! Has anyone else been through this motherly creative guilt trip too? And its time for some more beautiful, happy, inspiring art here too...
