Hi everyone, I had a fall on Friday - walking along a cobbled pathway in Manchester my foot caught in a hole and I went flat out on my front. I have a bruised nose and knees and aching palms where I tried to stop myself! Fortunately nothing broken - embarrassed, as there were a few folk around - good job hubby was too, I leaned on him to walk back to our car.
Fortunately this was after lunch with our grandson - who by then was on his train home.
Of course on Saturday the muscle aches set in and I could hardly get any pressure on my stamping block, the pain is easing slightly but I have made a collage page for Art Journal Journey and Valerie's 'Spring' theme
The main image is from my Alphose Much calendar. I added flowers using, napkins, stickers and some Stamperia papers. The quote is from a velum book of quotes.This is the image as it was in the calendar....
......and the information underneathI made a sky by using blue and white paint.
Hopefully the aches will go before we want to go shopping!
Thanks for looking, Chris

Oh, dear, sounds like a nasty fall. So glad nothing broken. A beautiful page with a breath of Spring. I hope you're feeling better.
oh you poor thing! Hope the bruises fade soon and you feel better soon. Helen xx
Sorry to hear about the fall Chris. I hope the aches and pains disappear quickly, but luckily nothing was broken. That would not have been good. I hope lunch with your grandson went well. I love your flower page with that spring goddess overlooking her handiwork. And very nice handiwork it is. This is a happy page for Valerie's challenge. Have a great start to the new week. Hugs-Erika
Oh Chris so sorry to read of your fall. Good thing no broken bones, but it does take a toll on us now as we get older-hoping your pain goes away soon.
Your spring page is awesome I really love it. hugs Kathy
What a pretty page and so sorry you had this setback, prayers for a quick recovery! xoxo
Sorry to read about your fall Chris, I hope you are not in too much pain, I think you will have a few nasty bruises as well.
I love how you created this page Chris and used the lovely calendar image.
Look after yourself.

Love Mucha's work and this is a lovely lady - you have made a beautiful Spring page with her!
Sorry about the fall, hope you soon start to feel better.
`Hugs, Neet xx
I'm so sorry about your fall. That's scary, and I'm glad nothing is broken. I hope the soreness is gone soon.
Hope you soon feel better, I know that feeling as I fell a couple of weeks back- Hope it's soon better. Love your beautiful page, thanks so much for linking to my challenge in spite of all the ouches. Hugs, Valerie
Ohh No, I am so sorry you fell. It just takes one little thing. Glad you are OK, no broken bones. Lovely piece of art. Fell better.
I feel SO sorry for you, dear Chris. I fell last week in my craft room when I tripped my foot on the broken anti-static mat. I was holding a full drawer of rubber stamps (wood mounted). I lost my balance and fell backward on my bottom. If I hadn't been holding that tray of stamps, which flew in all directions, I would more than likely have put my hand out to catch my fall and more than likely broken something. As it is, I landed on a "cushion," rather than a breakable arm.
I am truly impressed with this page, since you are unable to stamp. It is a real beauty and I love it. It just goes to show you don't need stamps to create a genuinely gorgeous journal page. Thanks for also sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Valerie's theme, too.
Oh no! I hope you're feeling better by now. Pretty page. :)
