Day 24- A letter to your parents

Dear Mum and Dad,

Thank you so much for providing me with such wonderful opportunities from such a young age. I understand how blessed I am to have been able to have you both in my life and I am grateful.

These opportunities have inspired me to explore my options in life and also seek out new ways to live a fulfilled life. I have discovered my goal of being an artist because of your encouragement to follow my dreams and having the courage to do anything I choose.

I want to thank you for the guidance you provided me throughout my life. I am glad that you taught me how to work hard and treat people with kindness and love. They serve me well in life and I know that Maddy will have the same encouragement to be the same. Because of what you taught me, I know how to treat others well and what to expect from others.

Thank you again for helping me.

Love,
Dee x x

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

Shaughan took Maddy down to the market so I got to spend sometime in my studio painting. I was bummed out cause I had left my small brush in the water and it was wrecked, I need to go and get another number 0 brush today.


I spent many hours in the garden yesterday, it was good getting a sweat on and I'm not even sore today! Tony would be proud.

Under the trees the grass had got out of control!

You can walk through the trees now, still got a bit more to do but I couldn't see in the dark :)
