HaPpY SpRiNG!

It's been a while since posting.  Still trying to find the "ZaNy"
day by day.  For Mom's best interest and in order to
meet her every need, we have moved her to a
private care facility, with loving, attentive caregivers
and lovely gardens and a miniature pony.
I have had a hard time adjusting to the transition of
the mother/daughter dynamics as affected by this change.

She is still the most wonderful lady in the world without a doubt.
We still love, laugh and share sweet and zany moments.
Just on a smaller scale.  And different.
Though our love grows stronger every day.

The image above is my first attempt to delve
back into art with the usual sunny disposition,
 which has been absent here and there.
Images from Itkupilli are fabulous!
I have begun to dabble in PhotoShop a tad.
Self instruction is slow, but doable.
Testy, but fun!

Trying digital collage will be just the activity to
get back into the swing of things.
With the added bonus of no glue goo!

Have a beautiful week!

  1. Hi Dear Angela
    Sorry to hear your mum is unwell... I'm sure the new facility will be great for her... and she'll get all the attention she needs... It must be difficult for you to make this transition... hang in there... Love your artwork... very clever... and even more so seeing you are new to it,.... Photoshop has seen me through many a low period.. hehehe

    Have a great week.. ciao xxx Julie

  4. Angela, thank you for stopping by my blog this morning. Doesn't it feel great to get your thoughts down and out of you head? I hope I didn't depress anyone. I just had to ramble and I feel much better now and this first day of Spring is turning out to be so much better. The sun is actually trying to come out :-)
    Hugs to you and enjoy your day!

  5. Love your sweet pic, and hope all will be well with your mom! My mother has lived with us for the past 10 years, and I know there will be a time in the future that we will have to make other arrangements! I am just thankful that there are good senior living facilities out there! Enjoy our Spring...Cathy aka GGJ
