The words this week are ' It's not a mess, it's a work of art'
Angela had gone round to her cousin Biddy's house for her usual weekly visit. Although Angela was a lot younger she got on very well with her cousin. They had both inherited the family sense of humour and had the same hobbies.
Biddy had told her that she had surprise for her this week.. Angela thought it might be something extra special in the garden, as Biddy was a very keen gardener. The garden was always full of colour and it was a pleasure to go round to see what else was blooming. Angela wondered if Biddy had bought some new exotic flower or a tree perhaps.When she arrived Biddy was sitting on the floor looking a bit smug.
"Well what do you think?" Biddy asked Angela, whilst pointing to the wall, "I just finished painting it and I am so pleased with the effect"
Angela didn't know what to say and just stared at it in horror and was completely silent for just a bit too long.
"Well what do you think" Biddy asked
"To be perfectly honest I think it looks a mess" replied Angela, and thought to herself that Biddy should stick to gardening.
"Oh well, it's not a mess it's a work of art Replied Biddy with a slight edge to her voice.
"Can we go see the garden" asked Angela, "it looks gorgeous through the window.

Yes that wall is a bit of a mess, but it makes a super journal page background. This week's story works really well for doing something with the AJJ challenge. I really like your page and story this week Wendy. Thanks for linking up this month for my challenge. It is appreciated. Hugs-Erika
She's probably right if this wall looks so terrible that she should do something about it in the garden. Great story, and the journal page fits perfectly.
Happy days! Hugs, Elke
