Sweet Mysteries of Life

I'm writing a Regency Romance. First draft is complete, now editing and polishing. Looking for beta readers if anyone is interested.

1812 Sussex

When Viscount Carlisle’s horse strikes Elizabeth Lancaster causing amnesia, her recovery leads to their discovering the past is unimportant, that the future holds sweet mysteries, ending in love and happiness together.

End of 2014

As we reach the end of November, I began to look back over the months. Not very productive, I'm afraid. But I'm coming to terms with my grief. Some days, are truly terrible but they are becoming less frequent. I will never be grief-free but I believe it can become bearable.

I've rejoined CLUB SCRAP and have made new friends and found old ones. Their designs are still unique and beautiful. There Watercolor Christmas is stunning. I haven't had the chance to play with the kit  - something to look forward to.

Life Book 2015

18th December, 2014

Since my daughter's death in March this year, I have been a lost soul. On the 16th or this month, her birthday, she would have been 44. I've discovered grief is a long, on-going process and even with family around me I felt isolated and alone.

Then I came upon Willowing.com read and about Tam, her art and the various art courses she teaches.

I took her free course  "Art, Heart& Healing" a true exercise in healing. I recommend it to one and all. It's on ongoing course and open to everyone and available at:

 Willowing - a happy place for making art!

When I saw she was doing another year-long, Life Book 2015. I knew I had found help for my grief . I signed up immediately and January, 2015 is just a few weeks away.

I am not an artist, I have trouble drawing a basic oval but I am allowing myself to trust my soul's response to my pencil and colours.

My dearest daughter, will be guiding my hand, watching me.....

Elizabeth Scott
1969 - 2014

Christened as Nora Elizabeth, my daughter shunned her first name and was know as Elizabeth or Beth.

Five-years-old

I discovered Art Journaling by chance - there was a challenge at Oscraps.
This was the result:

1958 Dixieland at its best!

Well it wasn't "true" art journaling but it was a beginning.....

The next attempt was again, using Maya de Groot Designs products available at Oscraps.com

Attentions

Now I felt adventurous  and bought a kit from Captivated Visions at Scrapbook Graphics called "Fluent in Sarcasm" This kit was made for me as I'm apparently out-spoken :) Anyhow, here is my page: Called Me? Sarcastic?
I was over the moon when it was chosen as a GSO at DST.

Me? Sarcastic?
