Tag tuesday. Poetry and Prose...


Practising my white space this week....:) something I'm not good at!! Any way i found this tag with the spilt watercolors and added some ink spray and the tiny lily of the valley paper flowers that i found at work today. computer font is eightfifteen.

i have also been re reading The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and this is one my favorite quotes from them and she has so many.........its hard to describe her books but they are so multi layered and rollicking good fun with lots of romance, drama and history.

i have discovered reading again lately, its like a good movie where you can just escape for a little while...and 10-15 mins at the start and end of day is such good way to escape :) Ive just finished the 6th book and wondered whether there was another one out....id missed it...now how did that happen! i have remedied that by ordering it online and.... she has another one out next year :)

As its still Valentines month i thought what could be more appropriate than a Scottish wedding vow that the two main characters use when they are married.....

Ye are blood of my blood, and bone of my bone,

I give you my body that we two might be one.

i give you my spirit till all our life shall be done....

Diana Gabaldon

I think you and white space get along beautifully dear Jen...your tag is super and the wedding vow is very moving and special too!

You know I have tried a couple of times to visit your blog while in FB...it will not let me comment...I just get a blank page when I click on comments...so then you can imagine what happens...you know how you can get lost along the way sometimes ;)

happy to finally be here and get to 'chat' with you a bit :)

I have read a few of the Diana Garabaldon books...loved "Cross Stitch" (I think it may have been her first one). Got totally absorbed in it...beautiful love story.

Oh I LOVE Jamie....he spoils you for all other men! Hubby and I have read the series twice and he's now reading the Lord John spin-off series. Love the tag too by the way. ;-) I can't go past my kindle. I probably read 6 books a week!
