A much needed mindful day!

Good afternoon all. I hope you are all OK and coping with this lockdown as well as possible. I know it is hard to do sometimes but if we are to get through this we must stay at home and not venture out where at all possible. I think it would be much easier to do for everyone if there was something visible that we could actually see like the sky turning purple and big black spots floating about! But this virus is not something we can see so thats what makes it so hard to avoid! So stay at home and keep cleaning and washing and we will beat it eventually.

Did you manage to catch Barbara doing her first ever FB live on the Claritystamp page? For some time now Barbara has talked about the need for mindfulness and I think it is important for us all to do some of this and todays doodling session is a perfect thing for all of us to do even if you're not a crafter. Pick up a pen and a piece of paper and have a go. I have found a little book that I am going to use. The ones I did along with Barbara have been transferred into my book now.

One thing that is very mindful is doing Groovi and parchment craft. This is something I did ages ago but I never blogged it. Please forgive me for dipping into past projects... I just had to do other things today rather than concentrate on doing a new step by step project.
Anyway here is the project. I have also given the ingredients and a brief description of how it was done below.
