NOTE FROM MARIE TO BLOGGERS:


To my fellow bloggers: I am sending my first bulletin regarding my situation, health-wise. I deeply appreciate the good wishes you have sent me and it is touching to know I’m not forgotten. I have had a very illness-free life so it was a surprise when I had a life-threatening medical emergency necessitating surgery followed by two months in hospital and another 4-5 months under the care of a hospital-in-the-home service. I am improving from day to day. I am pleased to report that I have regained strength in walking (now without aids) and I am becoming more independent and almost well enough to cope with living alone. My daughter saved my life in so many ways. She refused to give up on me and she nagged and bullied (in the nicest possible way) and persuaded me to believe the fight was worth fighting. She lives in the same street only a minute or two away if help is needed.

My problems melt into insignificance with the pandemic now affecting the lives of every person living on the planet. I wish you all a safe journey through the mayhem of life changing rules and the attack on the economy.

Help required!!

As you are probably aware the numbers of blog challenges have been greatly reduced over the past year and now we are down to a very small handful.  If you have any ideas on themes or styles of art, please let me know HERE or copy and paste to your email server moom@iinet.net.au
It is difficult coming up with fresh themes from week to week.  Perhaps you can think of some that we have never thought of.  Perhaps you would like to see art types featured (ATC's, collage, altered art etc).  We are here to please so join in and inspire us!!  Thankyou!
