Rory & Darcy in November

Hi everyone, 
I do hope your new week has started  well. 
It was another wet and dark start to the day here, 
After a Sunday of rain, rain and more rain..
Thank goodness the sun is now shining, 
Just in time for me to go and walk Eric again. 

I think the next couple of days could be our last burst of Summer 

As it is Monday , 
I have another calendar page video to share with you 
Today we have
Rory & Darcy in November 





You can join me here 


I do hope you enjoy it.
Don’t worry if you decided not to join in with making a calendar.
I have a card idea for you too 





So plump up your cushions, 
Put the kettle on 
and join me

The Tree Of Spirits

Hi everyone, 
Thanks so much for joining me today. 
I do hope you are having a lovely day
I have just got back from spending a few hours with my Mum. 
It would have been my Dad’s Birthday this week so it was important to spend some time together. 
I took flowers in my Dads favourite colours, Oranges , Reds and Yellows..
You can see where I get my love of orange from. 

I am back home in time to give Eric his medication…have a catch up  with you 
and then take him for a walk..
Yeah it is even sunny ☀️ 

As it is Tuesday , I have our usual

Autumn Hues

Hi everyone, 
Thanks so much for popping in, it is always 
so lovely to spend time  with you. 

As it is the first of September
It means that we have a new 
Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is
Autumn Hues 

Remember all the information is on the Lavinia website , the winner is chosen at random 
and wins a £40 Lavinia voucher 





Here is some inspiration for you…
A little Autumn tag 
As you know I do love  these colours 

First I added my background colour to the tag 





Next some stamping 





I carefully chose some Versafine Clair colours that would coordinate with the background colours 





More stamping 





Some  finishing  touches 
Water splats, 
Highlights, shadows, and posca pen 
Some lovely craft yarns at the top 

Here is a closer look 





I do hope you will enter…
Good luck everyone 

I’m off to walk Eric again before it rains.

Much love and hugs
