The words this week are ' I used to be Snow White, but I drifted' I stamped and coloured the background background with some dots to link into Mia's theme of Dots on Art Journal Journey Esme also has dots on her clothes.
Esme and Amanda were having a real heart to heart discussion on what they had decided to do for their New Year resolutions, not that either of them would keep them for longer than a week in some cases even a month, but the thought was there. Esme had decided to give up chocolate ( a hard decision that one ) and not to talk about any of their friends in a derogatory way. Another one she thought of and might just last longer was to keep a boyfriend for longer than a month, to give him a chance to improve. Some smaller more private ones she decided to keep to herself.
Amanda's hardly ever lasted more than a week, sometimes she forgot what they were. This year she had decided to visit her parents more often, and be kind to her little brother ( that one wouldn't last long ) Not eat any more sweets, she was addicted to fudge. To work hard at her typing, even though she found it difficult to remember where all the letters were, and to work on her personnel skills as she wanted to get into the Human resources department at work. They were the major things to work on and this year she would try really hard to achieve them.
Esme asked Amanda if she thought she would manage these as she didn't do very well last year. "No I know I didn't, before last year I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.
Well make sure you don't drift this year. I'll keep an eye on you and you can make sure I keep to mine as well"Said Esme.

Great story and picture. I struggled with this one and even the picture was a mess as I tried to use an old background that had gone wrong - too messy for the figures. Computer mouse struggling too which doesn't help matters and I am hopeless with the pad.
Moan over, I do like yours.
Hugs, Neet xx
You told the conversation between the friends really well. Who knows who can keep what from it.
The two figures are well placed on your layout with the dots, extravagantly dressed, great!
Happy rest of the week, hugs Elke
Those words made me laugh. Super story and art, Wendy. I am not getting a good feeling she will keep most her goals for long. Great use of dots and the prompt. Hugz
I wouldn't fall into the category of snow white or any princess.
I always love your stories, Wendy! This one is especially clever and perfect for the quote and January - the month of NY resolutions. And I really like your art. Esme and Amanda are absolutely adorable and your dots are perfect for Mia's dots theme! Thank you! Hugs, Sharon
Great dotted page, Wendy! And lovely story! Thank you for entering our challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs,
