Carry on Camping and My New Blog.....

This weeks theme over at..

Tag Tuesday

is...

Camping.

-oOo-
I've done the whole camping thing,
as they say, done it, seen it, got the T-shirt!!!
...and have fond childhood  memories of family holidays in small tents , cooked breakfasts, fun and games!
...and Girl Guide camps (where it usually rained!)...
So... Now I prefer a little bit more luxury...as long as there is a comfy bed and an en-suite ..I'll be more than Happy!!
Although hubby is always trying to twist my arm to go on another camping trip  !
-oOo-
But saying that....

I've alway fancied owning a VW Campervan

..Dreams of disappearing at weekends for the freedom and nostalgia of a road/camping adventure ....

.....Oh and painted in the shade of aqua would be jolly lovely too!!

(on my wishlist for when I win the lottery ;)

-oOo-

I bought this bundle of wooden hearts for £2, and thought they would make a good tag base for some of the Tag Tuesday Challenges

 So for this weeks 'Camping' themed tag...

I've painted my dream machine onto one of the wooden hearts..

Now, just gotta win the lottery LOL!!

The Summer of Color 2

The lovely Kristin over at

is hosting

The Summer of Color 2

6 weeks of colour prompts, beautiful inspiration  and wonderful art.
'You can create anything you want, as long as it's based upon the "flavour" of the week.'
-oOo-

I had lots of fun taking part last year, challenging me with colours that were out of my colour comfort zones.

..and this year the colour challenges are inspired by ice-cream flavours :)
-oOo-

The first colour prompt has been set

by Kristin and it is....

Rainbow Sherbet!

and here is a little teaser of what I have been working on today ;)

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations...

Wow!

What a lovely weekend of Jubilee celebrations it has been...Shame about the rain...Although it wouldn't be a British Bank holiday without a little bit of the wet stuff ... would it?!

Still, with true British spirit we did not let it dampen our festive spirits.

-oOo-

...and aptly this weeks theme over at..

Tag Tuesday

is...

..Paint

..Buttons

..Ribbon flower

..Alphabet stamps to stamp a few words from the National Anthem.
