Back to Monday again already ... so here I am with another Design Team piece for Simon Says Stamp and Show! This week the new theme is Stamp and Show a word. The word I have chosen is "Become".
I have decorated this little book box with THE Wendy Vecchi stamps and Lord Tim of Holtz Distress Inks ... you know Tim ... the man that can set a new Olympic record for the Bob Sleigh ... in the desert ... while trimming Elephant toe nails with just an Ink Blending tool and an Acrylic block.
Our ever generous and lovely sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering another randomly drawn $50 Shopping Spree ... do join in if you can!
So ... What you guys got planned this week then? I have two classes and a whole shed load of other stuff to be getting on with ... and before I start ... horror of horrors ... I will actually have to tidy up my Craftroom first ... I can no longer cross the floor safely ... well ... without risk of grave injury to my person ... so today is D-Day!
Before I dash off ... Can I just say THANK YOU so much for all the hugs that were texted, commented and emailed to me last week ... I am doing Okay at the moment ... After a really bad few months ... John and I are talking again and things are looking much rosier around these here parts ... sometimes it takes things to get to their worst before you realise exactly what is important and we are both working hard to get things back on the right track! So keep your fingers crossed! Course that does mean my Hollywood career won't take off any time soon ... but hey-ho a girl has to make sacrifices for Lurve!
That's me then ...
Take care wonderful people ... you really are the best!
Laters!

hi Linda,
the inside of the book seems to contain the sunshine you've managed to find a small spot of left inside. It looks illuminated.
everything crossed x
i'm in awe that despite the way you're feeling, your art stays at the top. it really doesn't work that way for me! And it won't get any better if i have to keep my fingers crossed, but i'll do it anyways :)))
Love the wording on your book and the colors on the inside are yummishly gorgeous!
That's just about the best thing I could have read this Monday morning Linda. I hope things continue to improve as I'm sure it's what you and John both deserve.
The box is totally gorgeous. The outside is lovely but the inside is soooo pretty. I even like the spider, lol! Good luck with the tidying!

I like everything you make, but this little book box may be my favourite so far. Love it! So glad to hear things are looking up - these bumps in the road are just part of the journey and happen to us all, but they're horrid at the time.
nice book, and a wonderfull nieuws... what else do you want...
good luck!!!
Brilliant! I love it to bits and the colours are fabulous and I totally stealing this idea as I have a humungous one of those I found a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale!! ;) I am also very happy to read that you both are back on the same page and working together on your relationship, sometimes we spend so much time on all the other stuff it gets pushed to the back. :)
Fabulous project, so beautifully crafted both inside and out love every little bit of it.

Big hugs to you and John... you two are so lovely together and I am chuffed to read that things is getting better... Loving the juxtaposition between the black of the colour and the bright of the inside... very striking xx
