Thankfully today we have yet another Journal Page for Art Journal Journey's theme as set by Aimeslee. I am glad I was working a week or two in advance. A lovely theme for the month of May because it is "Flowers" and what could be better as our gardens and the countryside are becoming a hive of colour.
So what do I need? A Tim Holtz Snarky Comment, some Dylusion figures, flowers, maybe a stencil or two ... and colour of some description. Oh, and a story to illustrate it all. Like this page?
Esme was at the same Gardens as Billy and Sam. In fact she was in the same class at school as young Sam. That was about as far as the similarities went with the two youngsters. Where Sam was kind and a thoughtful little boy Esme was a bit of a spoiled young madam.
In fact we find her just as she was being naughty. With total disregard for the beautiful flowers in the garden she was to be seen pulling flowers up and scattering their petals on the ground. "He loves me, he loves me not" she was chanting as she destroyed the pretty flowers.
Billy saw her and was rather taken aback to see what she was doing and so he shouted over to her.
"Hey, you mustn't pick the flowers, they are here for all to see and enjoy. What do you think you are doing?"
Esme turned, and looked in the direction of Billy, not a look of remorse or anything at having been caught destroying flowers. Haughtily she shouted back at him "I do this thing called what I want" and carried on picking at the petals of the daisy in her hand.
"Well", said Billy to Sam, "I think you might have a word with teacher on Monday and tell her just what we saw today. In fact you can write it up in your school diary for the whole class to see."
Samjust grinned.

Guilty of picking daisies and making daisy chains but not picking flowers in public places. I’m not surprised Billy was annoyed by her behaviour. Great story. Hugs Wendy xx
Esme certainly looks like she's about to have a spoiled moment to get what she wants-smile. She's a great character for this quote. And I love the flowers too. They're perfect for Aimeslee's challenge at AJJ. Thank you again for joining us. And I hope you're feeling better every day. hugs-Erika
Oh dear, what a naughty, little madam! Love the journal page and the story. I often see kids picking flowers from other people's gardens and their mums don't even look, they're too busy on their phones! I hope you are feeling a bit better, look after yourself, please! Hugs, Valerie
Oh Dear! Esme didn't get taught very well by her Mum or her Gran. My Granddaughter was about 2 when she started to pick a crocus in the park and we both ran towards her to stop her! The plus to that was that she was trying to sayb'flower'! Another great page for Aimeslee's AJJ theme Neet, hugs Chrisx
A great story and so sweet your beautiful creative page to it!
Have a good day, hug Elke
Sorry I'm late visiting. This is a brilliant story, Neet. I really enjoyed it and was glad Billy tried to get Esme to stop pulling up the flowers. I loved it and it was the perfect story for the words you were given this week. It is also perfect for Aimeslee's theme at AJJ.
A great story for this wonderful page, thanks for sharing at AJJ. XOX
Beautiful page and the story made me smile with that fabulous quote ☺️. I hope you are feeling better than last week. Take care and happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
