Jeudi Journal - Receipt

This week we have a blue page, it again has an Aall & Create stencil on it - the first time I used this one I fell in love with it.  Again I tried a different font from my cake icing book.  You can be forgiven if you think it is the one I have been using for several weeks but if you look closely you will see there is a difference.  I chose this one as there are rather a lot of words to be used in the quote and it lends itself to being written small..


Oh dear, it looks as if we don't have happy faces on the page this week.  

"Angelica, opened her door to the sound of the door bell and found Esme standing there ringing her hands as if in despair.  What a sorry sight she looked, her hair was in rollers, and, despite the warm balmy day, she had a huge coat on.

"What's the matter?" asked Angelica, faking a concerned look on her face.  "Is there something wrong Esme?" she asked.

"Everything has gone wrong" replied Esme, as she started to reel off a number of things that had gone wrong.  "I wondered if you could help me" she continued.

Well, Angelica had had enough of the stories she had put up with over the past two years from Esme, she had found out on a number of occasions that it was all a case of attention seeking on Esme's part.  Lots of their friends were taken in by it and all felt so sorry for Esme but Angelica knew that this was a ruse for 'tea and sympathy' and she had had enough.  She'd thought about it a great deal over the past week or so and decided that come hell or high water she was going to let Esme know that she was no longer prepared to accept all this acting.

"Nope, I checked my receipt," she said, "I didn't order any of your bull" and with that she closed the door.  Enough's enough she said to herself as she walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on."

As mentioned at the beginning I am using a different type of lettering so that I can enter this into Art Journal Journey where the theme is "Type".  See you there!
