Here is a lo I did in a class with Karen from Total Papercrafts on the 365 weekend! I love how it is so busy but the photos really stand out!




Here is a mini tag book which I made on the 365 weekend retreat. It is made from one sheet of double sided heavyweigh paper, folded to make pockets to hold tags etc! each tag contains a message from each lady at the weekend! Lovely keepsake!


Thank you to Barbara for helping us to make these!

This lo was done for the week 2 challenge on UKS, had to follow a sketch, use three different techniques and patterned papers, and include a number in the title. The photos show some brilliant grafitti along a footpath, and the artists seem to change the subject every few months!





More pics of my sisters dgc for her album!















A little boy, pleased to wear glasses!

June week 1 challenge on UKS. We had a sketch to follow, something handmade use acetate, so I made the acetate flowers and coloured them in, and use some ric rac. Photos show dd1 having had her new hairstyle from the training stylists at an Aveda salon, was a great change from her old style of just hanging long hair!

More piccies from my sister of her dgc in Oz. Here they are on holiday in Fiji, which is where their dad comes from so they stay with relatives, a bit of a change to their civilised lifestyle in Sydney!















Still doing the 52Q challenge, and loving it!


Tag 22, Which direction am I going? Somedays it feels like round and round in circles!

Tag 21, What would I do with a completely free day? Difficult one as most of my days are my own to do as I please!
