Once Upon a Sketch Challenge........



This is for the September 1st. challenge at Once Upon A Sketch. The journalling criteria had to be  'a memorable year'. For me, this year has been memorable....both my young daughters have gone off to study and are no longer at home and I have lost my part time job ( temporarily I hope ) so for the first time in my life my time is my own.





Thought these colours matched up pretty well with the Color Room this week so I have popped it over there as well.

    Hi Gayle,
    I'm far from being 'free as a bird', but someday my time will come. I love how you reinforced the title- bird theme throughout the details!
    Thank you for playing along with us at OUAS!
