WHERE HAS IT GONE!!



Hello Everyone.....

Can you believe that the weekend has gone already!...the only thing I accomplished was the kitchen got a good cleaning on Saturday, and helped my G/daughter make a 'Diorama' box for school homework...then I sort of slept the rest of my time away...and do not feel any better for that either....

Never mind, it is Monday, and I am Happy to say that Make it Monday    is starting a new linky party.....congratulations to last weeks winners....so great to go to so many blogs and seeing comments from other entries.....

Now, what have I for you this week.....a Fairy sitting on a flower....a big flower.



This beautiful Fairy is from our sponsor Rick St Dennis 





Her name is Star Fairy  and she is coloured with my Faber Castell pencils on her skin, her dress,hair and wings I used copics and  glittered her wings up...

The beautful flower is a Prima flower, and just the right size for her to sit on..after I fussy cut her out...



The papers, Graphic 45 "A ladies diary Collection"....and the Lantern was from a candy that I won from Lisa  and just waited until the time was right to use it, and this was it, although I wished I had listened to my inner self and done more with it, but it is now stuck fast...
Added a butterfly inside and pearls in the top corner and all done...

For my POTW this time....

Billie #210  with the cutest liitle ladybug......


Love it...
