Whats on my workdesk today....

Well nothing in truth because I am away on holiday but I have set my blog up to schedule for Wednesday and hope that someone sees me and adds me to WOYWW.

Look at the lovely ATC's that arrived from Mo Allen, Kay Hammock, Ann Bletcher, Ali Wade and Anne Redfern.  Anne also sent me the beautiful paper flower arrangement after I had admired it on her blog.  Its even nicer in real life.

I think its safe now to post a picture of the ATC's I sent out.

Before I left for our caravan in the lovely Cumbrian Lake District I finished this order for Coasters and Mugs and this book for a little girl's Holy Communion.

  My reward for completing the orders was the arrival of these new stamps.  As you know I've only recently be introduced to  stamping, so I treated myself.

I've taken some crafting things away with me so l will show you next week what I got upto.

Have a good week everyone and thanks for popping by.

A new string to my bow......

I had a wonderfully relaxing day with my friends Susan & Ruth

 as they attempted to teach me the art of stamping.

 Susan was brilliant at showing me all the different techniques and tools available for this massively popular craft.

 But you can see as usual I went off doing my own thing. In the end I only used one stamp, a blue ink pad and a set of alphabet stamps with a black ink pad.

Of course the Doodly Birds would not be left out of the fun.  To get the four birds I drew them on the four square pad with my black Pilot fineliner then quickly transfered the images onto the blue stamped background. Taa-dah here are the results.

We had tea and cupcakes when we arrived, followed by a cooked lunch and  my contribution, homemade vanilla & meringue ice cream. We finished the day with  more cupcakes and a cuppa.

Thank you Susan I really enjoyed myself and learned a new craft in great company. 

Watch out Tracy I think Sue's making a takeover bid.
