I have had a busy time teaching workshops over the weekend ... three in two days to be precise ... sooooo much fun ... so excuse me while I wave to all my lovely ladies and Baby G ...
I have had the RSPBN ... chasing me ... not heard of them? Neither had I until they raided the house in the early hours! They are apparently The Royal Society for the Prevention of Blog Neglect! Oh yes people ... Guilty as charged.
I am going to get my act together this week though ... make a real effort to blog regularly once more ...
Anyways ... Mondays mean ... Simon Says ... and this week over at the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog ... the theme is Metal. So I got my grubby little hands on this little Papier Mache book blank and gave it a new metal jacket which was totally inspired by one that sits in the work shop created by the wonderful Lin Brown! I also had a play with THE Wendy Vecchi's new Art Parts ... Oh my goodness ... I am in LOVE ... even more than I was before!
Do join in this week if you get time ... see what I did there? ... huh? ... did you? Time? Geddit? ... because the fabulous site sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is once again giving away a $50 Gift Voucher and that means $50 of stash entirely of your own choosing
The eagle eyed among you will have spotted the clock which is indeed a Lord Tim of Holtz stamp ... you know Tim ... the man that can name the entire Solar System and then name the Solar Systems of those Solar Systems without taking a breath while calming the world's oceans with just a copper coloured brad and one piece of Idea-ology foliage!
I must away ... I have more Art Parts to play with ...
Laters!
