'Thanks for the invite but I would rather sew my head to the carpet' These are the strange words from Dyan's large chat list that we are working on at the moment. To link this to Halle's theme of botanicals on Art Journal Journey I have used a flower and leaf stencil on a sprayed ink background.
Stella was a school teacher and term had just finished for the Summer and she was so looking forward to day trips out to museums, art galleries and days by the sea., she might even manage to do some much needed gardening.
The phone rang. "Hi Stella I wanted to put a proposition to you about the holidays" it was her friend April, who was also a teacher in her school "How about a weeks camping in Brittany, I'll drive as I know you don't like driving abroad. asked April.
"You mean in a tent with no shower, toilet or a comfortable bed"replied Stella.
"Well yes, that's what camping is, will you come with me, it will be fun"said April.
"I can't think of a worse way to spend a weeks holiday. Thanks for the invite but I would rather sew my head to the carpet " replied Stella "If you come up with something civilised though I might consider it.

A great story Wendy and a fab background on your picture to go with it. I have to smile at your stories as you get a bit in about gardening so often and I think of you and how much you enjoy gardening. I think we all bring a bit of our hobbies or some incident from the past we have known about into our stories.
Hugs, Neet xx

It's too bad Stella didn't like camping because I bet it would have been fun. And of course there are always bathrooms and showers, or I assume there would be. :) I like the character you picked. She looks like a Stella. Thanks for joining Halle this month at AJJ, and have a super start to August. hugs-Erika
You always amaze me how well you color within the lines. Laughed at your story and really enjoyed the floral background. This is a beautiful final entry for Halle's theme at AJJ. Thanks for sharing.
