My trip to Australia went really well, I only got lost 3 times and lost my passport in our tiny local airport...can you believe it!!..how stupid...I had taken it out as I knew we needed it at the check in, but slipped it back in my bag and it shot into a makeup purse and I just couldn't see it...luckily while I was sliding into a panic mode, my G/duaghter calmly waded through my messy bag and found it before my son threw me out the door..lol..
Went to the craft show on the Saturday, and I was in craft heaven...wow!!...so many stalls, and so many people, or should I say women...pushing and shoving, it was like the Bendon Bra sales...frightening for awhile...lol..but I soon learned to give a shove back, make use of my height, for reaching over heads, and this is what I managed to get in 1hour and 45 mins........
WARNING PICTURE HEAVY..........but oh! so yummy..
There is another picture but it wont load just yet, so I will show you a card that I made just before I left for a challenge at Ready Teddy Go and it is one for the boys....
Such a cute image from Spyder [Lyn] called Archie Archer...
A close up of image...coloured with pencils...
And the side view..
The papers are gift wrapping papers with a linen texture on them, the dragon fly cut from those papers...the spots and stripes from Crafters choice 'country basics'.
This has turned into a novel, so will let you go....off to play, will show a few more pictures when they come to hand, and where we stayed...paradise..
Great to be back...
Luv CHRISSYxx
