Goldilocks

This is my creation. I used Michelle Perketts 'Goldilocks' Digital stamp and some candy stripe papers, some coordinating card and some pink buttons. I coloured the digi using a small paint brush, water and felt tips pens. Not entirely happy with the result yet but getting there. A bit of distressing and hey presto :)

All in a mornings work :) Wedding Belles

This is the result of this mornings creative time this plus another almost finished festive jar and matching card. What it is to have the equivalent of a school day to yourself. Thoroughly enjoyed my craft time.This set is available to buy if i can bare to part with it lol :)

The 'Ripple' effect

This little painting was inspired by many of my friends who have been donating their art to Ripple. This site has been set up especially by Kelly Light to help raise money in one of two ways...


'Each sketchcard on Kellys  blog is $10.00. The $10.00 is a donation to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. Every penny is donated. The two Non-Profits that are benefiting areThe Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center'


Please stop by and take a look at all the wonderful art that has been created.

Litha issue of the Witches Digest

Just had to mention that the Litha issue of the Witches Digest is now available to pre-order and will contain my 'Summer' painting and one or two other pieces of my art :)

Festive Cookie run

So for the last few weeks i have been baking, quite a bit. Flapjacks, Cakes and Cookies. I have so enjoyed this time and the novelty hasn't worn off so i hope to continue the fun.The plan is come Christmas that i can make up batches of cookies as token gifts for people. I think in times when money is short something like this is simple but effective. So i like this recipe the only thing i change is that i use 100g of choc chips and 50g of coconut. I guess you could always use 150g of choc chips but as they come in 100g bags it's easier to buy two bags and have one over for next time. With this batch i made up the dough yesterday and put it in some grease proof paper and put it in the fridge for later but later ended up being this morning. I cut it into four pieces and rolled each piece out with yes you guessed it a rolling pin lol.Used this snowflake cutter and bobs your auntie lol. I think I'm all set now just need to find some nice reasonable bags to bag them up into come Christmas so if you have any ideas feel free to share. Thanks to Senta who as part of my Christmas present sent me Egg nog drop scone mix and boy was that tasty, you got the ball rolling and there is no stopping me now :) Oh yeah and the coconut is a must unless you don't like it, i swear it makes them. I have made them with currants too, not this recipe but in my experimenting!
