Description
Hi Everyone...It's been sooo...long since I have done any of the Art Journaling Challenges here at The Lilypad...with my life in so much chaos & turmoil...finding time to scrap at all...has been an in & out kinda thing...There are always ideas in my head...but creating time for myself to create & make myself happy or at least...to find some kind of release from my sad feelings...has been fleeting...I guess one can only create based on their own personal experiences & or feelings...Since my Dearest Raymond passed away...He takes up most of my time for feeling so much grief...and my own personal life with much turmoil from personal pain,injuries & just trying to get through each day...is sometimes overwhelming & exhausting...so being able to take time to create...goes to the back burner...as I am just too tired from the day to be able to do this...But,I have recently been creating again...I keep thinking...when will I ever stop creating layouts about my grief...it seems like never...The last many pages I have created & some...yet to post...are all about feelings related to and/or about my own personal heart,pain & feelings...So,I have one here for this week's challenge...

I was inspired by nature's colors of green...some lavender influences...the shades of yellow & the green leaves here...plus the darker shades of grey & black...and the idea of trying to take care of yourself...trying to move forward...but not wanting to forget either...These are real personal challenges...These pages have become important to me...& have become part of my own personal grief & recovery...therapy...

This Art Journal Page of influence is from Ona's link to Pinterest : Called Kylie's shuffle...See Muse Challenge Thread for picture : Link here : https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/109986415892018151/

This is absolutely beautiful and so powerful. (PS I also think that whatever you are doing is absolutely right, and how ever long you spend scrapbooking about your grief and pain and challenges is the right amount of time ... even if that is forever more) xx

Beautiful layout. Your talent shines on this and yes...take all the time you need to grieve because that's what's best for you!

There’s no timeline for grief, I hope it’s helping you…
Your page is beautiful, loving the nature inspired colors!

@ajm Thank You! kindly :heartlub :heartlub :heartlub...I have learned...that grief has a way of sneaking up on you...Just when you think you are doing a bit better...it comes round...yet again...and you are down...How does one get away from...Their own memories?...Trying to balance memories and feelings with trying to move forward...has been my biggest challenge...I never want to forget my sweet Ray...but I need to move forward somehow...& these layouts are helping me do so...bit by bit...eventhough the creative process...often provokes intense feelings & tears...I think this is part of the grief process...at least it is for me...xo Rhonda ...
