I covered a piece of card with the greenish paper and mounted that on the base and then I took a strip of dark green card, wrapped the lace around it and stuck that down. Finally I stamped a couple of Mad March Hares (because of the high winds at the time) and mounted them on the same dark green card. A quick and easy card for the person who sent me the flowers - both an Easter and a Thank you card.
Yesterday saw me on my way to Harrogate with my friend Lorraine. She had bought me these gorgeous roses last week for my birthday (belated)
along with some fabulous hand cream and some Easter candles. But it did not stop there as she was full of the intention to buy me some new paints to set me off on yet another collection. I had seen these paints demonstrated at CHA and they looked so creamy and just gorgeous so I could not wait to get my sticky little mitts on them.
I ended up buying myself some pots of paint and Lorraine bought me some so I now have eight of the colours of Dylusions Paints which I saw being demonstrated at CHA in January. We played with them yesterday and they go on so creamily and dry so quickly - ideal for journalling which is what we were doing. Now I want to carry on and do some more pages in my new little journal (Dyan style) and then I can sit on the plane when I go away and add to the pages with my white pens.
So here is a picture of my desk yesterday - I had started to clear out this big box of stuff before I left in the early hours of the morning so now my shopping is dumped on top and I need to sort out the little pile to the side so I can get playing with my paints. Ooh, I could crush a grape.
What are you up to, most likely you have come here after visiting Julia, the Queen of Desks, so I guess I should pay you a visit quick sticks and see what you have been doing. See you soon.
