My friend Maggie has been staying with us for the week and we girls are having a great crafty time, Felix (one of my cats) loves being with us, trouble is he always wants to be in the middle of things, with Mod Podge that's not so good!

Brave Girls Daily Truth - A Little Bird Told Me!
Dear Courageous Girl,
One of the paradoxes of life is that sometimes the very best decisions have the most difficult consequences. And sometimes what is best is not what we want most. And sometimes when we want to feel peace, we have to do something that feels painful first. Sometimes we have to do such hard things, and there's absolutely no other way.
You can do it, though. You know what is the right thing to do. You know for sure in your gut and deep in your heart, and a million signs have led you to what you are supposed to do. It still feels so scary, so difficult, and so impossible, even for a very brave girl.
Just know that most of the best things if life come after making the most difficult choices, and doing the hardest things, and taking the biggest risks.
You really can do this, and miracles are going to happen when you do.

Me In My MoleskinE
Tonight, Kirsty Wiseman filmed a Live Video for the class, it was great fun, 20 pages to complete + the cover, I managed the cover and 1 page, although I did do the journaling, we can watch the video again and again (just as well) to look at the beautiful pages Kirsty showed us with lots of lovely techniques!

Brave Girls Daily Truth - A Little Bird Told Me!
Dear Weary Girl,
You are tired today, aren't you? You are tired of holding up the whole wide world, tired of being so darn tough, tired of being tested in every which way, tired of passing the tests only to be given another one.
It's okay for you to have days like this. IT REALLY IS OKAY. YOU ARE OKAY. LIFE IS OKAY. And everything is going to turn out okay.
Everything is going to be okay, dear girl. It really is. You are going to make it. Please get some rest, take care of yourself, and keep your spirits up. Keep your eyes on the end goal and try your hardest to be patient with life's lessons. You are so wise. Remember that good people have bad days sometimes. Smart people do dumb things sometimes. Bad things happen to good people sometimes. And still, everything is going to be okay.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Take a hot bath. Listen to your favorite music. And TRUST. And then keep trusting.
It's gonna work out.
