I just had to read this to Brett yesterday, the main reason being that it was raining. It's a bit of a girly book on the exterior but boy does Molly have some brolly good adventures :)
This next book fits in nicely with the fact that during the holidays the library is running a Space Hop the challenge is to read just six books, or be read to as in Brett's age group.Anyway on Tuesday morning we went to a space hop inspired morning of stories and crafts, made a rocket and coloured space men etc. I knew we had this book at home so out it came. Bobs adventures on the moon and the distinct lack of aliens!
Today's book (well one of several) is actually one of mine. I think i bought it at a car boot pretty much due to the lovely illustrations. I do that alot :)
This book tells of Ziggi who wonders why he is here. He gets taken on a special journey to find out and to be honest his little journey applies to us all :)

Tweet tweet
Last week i popped into town for one or two things and on visiting Wilko i spotted these...
Oohhh, i had a quick squizz and then went off to compare prices on the things I'd come up for which primarily was some drawing paper and stuff for my son. I got him some bits in the £1 shop and then popped back to Wilko. With my birthday so close i wasn't sure i was doing the right thing, I'm always telling hubby off for wanting to buy things close to his birthday but i took the risk after all you can never have too many bits of stationary with owls and birdies on can you :) No one else bought me them so i was safe.
They are just so cute, don't you think?!?
Tweet tweet :)
Thought i would just share my latest card here too as it fits with the feathered theme
Love how he turned out and i made this for my uncle so it's quite masculine i hope, think i might do some more of these but i must get some more of these lovely brown cards that i can't find at Hobbycraft just The Range :)
Challenge 18 over at Meljens Designs
Gosh have i been on a roll making cards this last couple of weeks, still have a few to make but I'm keeping up just about.I was making this card for a friend of mine so i thought i would incorporate the sketch over at Meljens Designs so here it is .
The card was made using a digi from Paula at Pollycraft but i do have some cute cupcakes from Meljens ready for next time :)
Ok so it didn't take long for me to put this together, needed to get another card off in the post as soon as so voila, a bird in the hand and all that. Card number two for challenge 18 :) ok well number two but not for the challenge as it appears it has closed now. Never mind lol

The Aloha DT Blog Hop
Hello everyone and welcome to the Aloha Blog Hop over at Michelle Perkett Studio. I hope you started at the beginning if not you can head back to it above.If you came here from Jasmine then your on the right track.
This is a double celebration weekend for me. We as members of Michelle Perketts group over at PCP are celebrating the DT members that have been making creations using Michelle's beautiful digis for the last six months of which i was one such DT member until a few months ago when i sadly had to step away and concentrate on other things.
So the challenge for this hop was to make a creation with Leilani and to incorporate the word 'Aloha' meaning hello, goodbye and thank you... and to also write a thank you letter to the DT for all their/our hard work.
My creation kind of came out of no-where. One minute i was struggling with all my digi creations next minute i was printing off several copies at a time to complete this challenge. The strange thing was i was pleased with all my colouring. I decided to make a mobile using Michelle's Leilani and Penelope and Olive. Actually i helped myself out towards the end when i remembered my parasol light fitting i bought from Ikea as it incorporates some lovely flowers and the added advantage of lights so i printed off two of the stamps i was using having reversed them so i had back and front. I set about colouring them with watercolour pencils and then laminated them all...having laminated them i punched holes in the tops and threaded them with some string that i had inked to tone them in with the light fitting. I strung them all to it at intervals and then inked up some chipboard letters and glued them to some more string and attached them to Leilani.I'm quite pleased with my creation it looks like what you might enjoy a malibu and coke under whilst sitting watching the sun go down.
I hope you have enjoyed your time here. I am probably off somewhere blowing out some candles of my own as I'm celebrating my 40th birthday today...Who knows what I'll be doing as I'm writing this on 21/7 so I'm organised in advance. In two days my son finishes nursery all ready to start big school in September. Where does the time go. Anyway enough from me. Hop along now to Bevs and enjoy all the lovely creations :)
Aloha!

What fun it has been to be part of this DT and to see those that have left each week inspiration to others (myself included). I have learn't alot from all the wonderful cards and creations you have all made, particularly where digital stamps are concerned as up until i joined Michelles group i hadn't really come across them and it's certainly taken some work for me to feel content with what i do with them where colouring is concerned, it's all a learning curve i guess. Thanks to all of you :)
Btw just for fun find out your Hawaiian name here I'm Keli :) And don't forget to check out my extended Blog Hop post below this one :)

This is one of Michelle Perketts new digital stamps. I knew when i saw Stella that i would be inspired to put pen to paper but not to colour (not yet anyway).
Join me a while :)
It was a bright sunshiny day so Stella thought she would go out for a stroll. She packed her back pack with all her essentials, notebook, pad, pencils, blanket, milk and cookies.
As she headed up the garden path she thought that she had forgotten something but for the life of her she couldn't remember what so off she went.
She walked across the park and over the stye and into the fields. The butterflies were dancing round her head and the birds were chirping away merrily in the trees.
Stella wandered down to where the fields met the brook and perched herself on a log.
Stella was rather warm to she slipped off her cardigan and glanced down towards the water. As she did so she caught site of her reflection. There they were she hadn't forgotten them at all they were on her head the whole time, glasses!
Stella threw her blanket over the tall grasses and sat down with her pad and pencil. She doodled flowers and butterflies, birds and bumblebees and as she did so she found herself feeling inspired to tell a story.
'It was a bright sunshiny day so Stella thought she would go out for a stroll...
Hope you enjoyed my extended Blog Hop posts, it's been such fun finding inspiration to delight and amuse. Onwards and onwards and tune in soon for the next instalment Aloha!
