Do you remember the Library project I mentioned earlier on, .......well having collected over 20 boxes of donated craft supplies!!!! Sue and Tracey from Paperparadise presented it to the children on Wednesday. The quality and volume of donated items is amazing!! Stamps, 12x12 papers, inks, ribbons, beautiful toppers....you name it and it's there!!
Thankyou so much to the Grimsby Crafting community and the ladies from my work and women from all over the internet (who posted stuff to Sam) for all of your hard work in having a clear out and making the effort to deliver the goods to Sue. It really is very much appreciated. xxx
This is what the photo when it eventually goes in the paper will look like!!
This week I taught them how to stamp with stazon and use watercolour pencils or felt tips on a CD to create watercolour effects. Here are their results...
....pretty fantastic for first timers don't ya think?
Georgia had her first dancing exam on Saturday and we made it with one minute to spare. I was practically pushing her out of the car as we pulled up to the school!!
Chloe, Georgia and Aimee (cousins
Aimee, Georgia and Ria (friends)
Fingers crossed we will have some photos with medals very soon!!!!
Being a Kiwi you can imagine my delight when I realised that my neighbour had a flowering New Zealand flax in her garden. I asked her permission to photograph its majestic flowers and was delighted to discover she also has an Australian Bottle Brush bush!! These plants are as common as muck at home but when you haven't seen
any for 15 years you suddenly appreciate their beauty.
No crafty news this week I am doing lots of overtime, wallpapering our bedroom and cursing at an ORANGE layout in between!!!!
