Another journal found a good home

wiseheartI've made this shabby chic journal a couple of years ago, just for the fun of it, always hoping that one day I'll find someone who can really appreciate it. It isn't a style many young people would find appealing, being a bit too girly, but I didn't give up hope.
And now the journal has found its new home. The daughter of my friend and fellow choir member, Eenie, is finishing high school, which is a big issue over here. And she likes girlie things (I've checked it with her mother in advance, just to be sure), so I happily gifted the journal on her. She's called ten minutes ago, to thank me, and to tell me how much she liked it. I'm really happy the journal is in good hands, as it was (a great deal of) labour of love. ;))
Other than that, choir practice was fantastic. We were only ten people, and that includes our choir leader and the lady who plays the piano to some of our pieces, in a large classroom, with all windows open. I hope everything will be well. They have practiced for months by now, but as long as Covid was running wild at school I didn't dare to partake. It seems to have ebbed down a bit, so I risked it. No smoochies with Mum for a couple of days, though, just to be on the safe side.
But being able to sing again was wonderfully liberating.
