Can't believe this is the last blog post from me for February and March is only a few days away. If that month goes as quickly as this one has we will be a quarter way through the year already before we know it.
This week we are marrying the quote "I'd get organised, but it would only confuse my family" with Vicki's theme of 'Music' at Art Journal Journey and during my recent cull of stamps in my craft room I kept behind a few music related ones including this border stamp, below.
The background is just some stencil work through a Lavinia stencil called 'Foliage' using an Elements Blue Atoll inkpad and the border is unknown as are the diecuts.
"Amelia was a gifted child, always leaning towards the Arts when in Junior School so it was not surprising that she chose the Arts when it came to her making her choices of subjects to take at GCSE level. She did well in her examinations, particularly in Music and so she went on to study her best subject at college.
She began sharing a room with a couple of other girls, Sandy and Susie but both girls could not get over the fact that Amelia was untidy. There was music left lying about everywhere, she played a couple of instruments and those were often left on the bed, and not always Amelia's bed!
One day Susie had had enough and she confronted Amelia about her untidy ways.
"We had a little chat the other day, Sandy and me. We love sharing with you but ..."
"But?" said Amelia "but you are fed up of my music?"
"No, it's not your music, we enjoy listening to you, especially when you sing. We don't mind you when you have a new piece to practice, it's just the endless pieces of music you leave all over the room, and you even invade our beds with your instruments and their cases. We would love you to be a bit more organised."
"I'd get organised, but it would only confuse my family" replied Amelia with a little grin on her face. "Mum was always on my case about my untidy habits. Come to think of it my brother would probably think he had a new sister. Tell you what, if you promise to help me keep the place tidy I will do my best. Deal?"
And the two girls shook hands before sharing a big hug.
