Straight Again!

 Hi everyone, I wish I could say that about my craft room - I was due to start a big tidy when I got really bad vertigo. It just came on one evening - I was halfway along our hallway when I just lost my balance and had to hold on till hubby could guide me to a seat. I spent nearly two full days with hubby guiding me everywhere and doing things such as taking my socks off and passing my drinks to me. The I just went back to normal!! Thank Goodness, as we were able to go for a free meal with a voucher that had nearly run out.

It's been a while since I posted anything for Mia's fantastic Art Journal Journey theme - 'Use a Photo'I made this page earlier this month. 

I am trying to take part in Junk Journal January but sadly I am behind with that too. The prompt was ~ 'Hobbies' - as you know we love to go walking, especially when we visit France.

I used a photo on one of our walks at Tatton Park. I have longer hair now.....and I have lost some weight. I added a map of Paris, an ATC I had started, an old metro ticket and part of ticket to a chateau. 

I hope it won't be so long until I get another page completed.

Thanks for looking, Chris.

  1. I've had vertigo from time to time. there was an easy exercise to do to help clear it. Lie on your bed on your back with your head hanging off the foot of the bed. Hold that for 30 sec. Then lift your head and place chin to chest. Hold that for 30 secs. Then sit up. I thought I had a Youtube video for it, but can't find it. I hope you're feeling better. Lovel page you did for your hobby. I like how it looks like you're ready to walk off the page and begin your next adventure in Paris.

  6. Fun page Chris. I like how you added yourself. And the little map! And that vertigo sounds awful. Funny how it came and then went like that too. Not funny ha ha but funny strange. Have a wonderful start to your week. Hugs Erika

  7. That vertigo attack must have been very frightening and upsetting for your both. I do hope that it is not something that happens frequently with you and it stays away for a long long tie now.
    Love the page you have made, it must have been a nice day when you went walking in Paris judging by the photo. So you have lost weight and grown your hair? I am the opposite, I have put weight on and gone short on the hair - really short. Ah well!
    Hugs, Neet xx

  8. I had just started to leave you a comment when my internet went out. So did my phone. I am finally back online and loving this page you created for Mia's theme at AJJ. What a great way to share a hobby and an even better way to see how much you love Paris.

    Thanks for sharing this at AJJ, dear Chris.

  9. I forgot to mention I got Vertigo once on an escalator. Scary is not even close to how I felt. Panic is more like how I felt. I can truly empathize.
