Sweet Shoppe Designs

journalling reads: I dream of an end to this darkness; I wish to walk in the light; I hope I can be saved

LO background: I call my really depressed, just overwhelmingly negative, unmotivated and teary days, my "dark days"; so in dreaming of light i am basically looking for a more positive outlook and experience of everyday life. I've tried a bunch of meds & am still in counselling after 2 yrs.

design notes: I used this photo of my sister and my DD & wanted to highlight the light/shade contrast in the photo so I used a sepia filter on it. I wanted an overall golden and warm feel. I used the brushwork to increase the 'light' feeling of the LO too.
