The words this week are ' I used to be thin and gorgeous but it's my day off ' Sandra had gone to see her friend Maria who hadn't seen for a while. Thinking she might be ill it was a bit surprised when she arrived to find her inside the housed perfectly OK. Having ploughed through a few inches of snow she asked her if she would like to go for a walk and to give her and her dog Ranger some exercise. The dog was looking through the window, undecided if he actually wanted to go out in the cold and chase that deer or stay in the warm. He tried to look as pathetic as he could and could see it was working. The decision was made, it didn't look as if Maria wanted to go out either. She was a very slim girl who didn't need to exercise to keep trim. Maria looked at Sandra and couldn't resist the temptation to remark that Sandra could go walking in the snow if she wanted, it would help her loose some weight. Sandra was extremely annoyed and said "I used to be slim but it's my day off" Maria didn't know if she was supposed to laugh at that, but decided not to. With that Sandra went out and vowed not to speak to Maria again, although she did know she could do with looking a few pounds.
The one at the bottom is one I did for our Thursday journal but didn't put it on as Neet was unable to, due to illness. It was for my theme of the sea.

Love the snow scene through the window, very effective and well thought out. It has made a lovely picture for the quote this week. I have to smile as we both used the same figure, presumably the only 'not thin' one we have. Oh for some more figures from Dyan.
Love your beautiful journal page and the snarky comment fits me exactly! Hugs!
Hi Wendy! I love both of your pages! The last page you made for your "Sea" challenge is absolutely beautiful. I love all of the elements you used. And your first page is amazing, too. I am in awe of your story-telling ability! I love the story - it fits perfectly with the quote. Your page is also perfect for my snow theme at AJJ this month. Thank you so much for joining us at AJJ! Hugs, Sharon

I like both of your pages Wendy. Ranger is pretty cute, and I love how you have him looking outside. My 2 dogs love the snow, but one not the rain, and so he would be sitting at the door hoping rain would stop. Thanks again for joining Sharon's challenge. I like how you showed snow, and I love those funny fish too. HAve a wonderful rest of your weekend and week ahead. hugs-Erika
Both journal pages are wonderful and show how a prompt can be manipulated. I like how you chose Sandra who needed to lose a bit of weight and also the snow outside. This is a fabulous entry for Sharon's theme at AJJ.
A cool made up story and with the works, fantastically chosen characters for the theme of snow and sea!
Hug Elke
