goodbye......

Something sad has settled upon my world like a coat of yellow pine pollen. It feels like a heavy blanket has been thrown over all of us. It's not something I can dwell on, and it's not something I feel like getting into a lot of detail right now.

I'm having to say goodbye to a very special person in my life. I suppose that I am lucky enough to have the chance to say goodbye. This person did so much for us. He made my teen years, happy years. I love him dearly.

I am O.K.! (really!) I just have this strong melancholy feeling to my days. I go about what I would normally do, but there is a movie reel of memories that flash right before my eyes. I have no experience with death either. I'm sure this is normal. At least the memories are happy ones, and you might find me in the grocery store laughing right out loud at a can of beans.

I guess that's all I can muster for now.

I have been in the studio, creating like a little machine. It's my private place, and I'm lucky to have it. It helps.

I've enjoyed this little project. I worked until it was time to go to bed on these, and didn't I sleep heavenly that night!

Heidi is hosting a tag swap. I love the chance to play with my collection of paper. I really used up some scraps on these tags. I also used up some of the freebies from Art Chix! The ribbon is vintage seam binding.

This was a nice little peaceful project to work on. I may make more, just for fun.

If you're feeling sad, try playing with glue and paper. It really does help.
