Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Jiggery Makery presents Veronica and Victoria




This card is a design team make for the fabulous Jiggery Makery. I thought that it would be fun to put the two most glamorous ladies together, as if they were ready to go out. And that got me to thinking of the number of British girls that are now having Prom style parties.It used to be a predominantly American thing but now it's found it's way over the pond. Personally I think that any excuse to put on a fancy dress can only be a good thing.I have coloured both digis with my promarkers and of course I had the urge to give them both blue hair...just because I love it. my hair is green at the moment ut may go purple any time soon. I have glittered both the dresses because as far as I'm concerned there can never be enough glitter. In fact since I made this card, Reg, the cats and I are all having a little sparkle..lol. No matter how hard I try..the glitter will not be contained..lol

Social services came and it was ok really. As nice as they are..it just brings it all to the fore. It gets me feeling a little down and lots is going round my head. But I will go down and cook dinner soon and that should help. I always find cooking very relaxing...I put my music on and chop salad. It sounds strange I know but chopping really does help. We are having fish, chips and salad tonight. An easy dinner really..but it should be good.

Well the coffee is calling again...I think that most days, I'm caffeine powered..lol. I am looking forward to the weekend crafting though...athletics are on..so I can be in my happy space..lol.So for the second time today..take care and happy crafting..and I'll be back tomorrow.

    Glad the visit from Social Services wasn't too bad. Crafting sounds like the perfect escape to me.
