Gosh, nearly didn't make it this morning. I have my days muddled up, so much to do and so little time to do it and I just had to get my hair cut. Suddenly realised last night that it was Tuesday and no WOYWW done so it was a hasty photo and here I am.
I think the hot weather of the past couple of weeks has got to me, we are not used to it up north and I was wilting - like a dandelion in the heat, all droopy and no energy and things to do but nowhere was cool enough to work.
We had a fabulous workshop, despite the heat, and I melted but managed to get on with things, on Saturday. Jo Rice came and we learned lots of different techniques but I can't show you what we did because to be honest I don't know where I put it. Will find it for next week though. I had seen one or two photos of what we were going to be doing and one of them struck me as being perfect for a tag book I was making. So I found it on You Tube and watched what she did and proceeded to make three tags for the covers of my three tag books.
It was a blend of Oxides and then some Lavinia stamps across the base and yes, we did just that on Saturday, slightly different colours, but very similar to what I am about to show you.
Why three the same? They are for family members of my bestie who passed in June and the club members have been making three tags each so that we can give the family a tag book each to show how much we thought of their mum. This is going to be the cover and the other side has a verse, a different one for each sibling, and then a list of the names of the club members who have contributed.
I also made a card for another friend who is very ill in hospital
but this is on its way to Liverpool
Right, am going to leave it there this week as I have nothing else on my desk except a pack of babywipes and you don't need to see them. See you next week, maybe a bit more interesting.
Take care, hope it's a bit cooler where you are.
