Lessons in Messy!!

Whilst we were away last weekend artist & art journaller Bernice gave us a lesson on using paints, sprays, mists, stamps & inks to make backgrounds & journal pages. She is extremely knowledgeable & talented and it didn't take long before she had us all getting inky & painty in the garden.


Even the most reluctant were swayed by the amazing array of supplies Bernice had generously brought with her for us to try out. I was fabulous to see the group enjoying something totally different & also loving the results they were getting.

This was my first piece - totally loving both the colours & the texture created.

Many Thanks Bernice x

My month in numbers...

Inspired by Julie Kirk to record my life in a different way.

1 date night with Hubby to see Man on a Ledge in seats D11 & D12 - which I would really recommend.

1 new recipe tried- Vanilla Panna Cotta with raspberry sauce.
4 nights away I've had scrapping with really lovely ladies.


36 miles Dan walked to complete the Cotswold Marathon.

12 pancakes cooked, 3 consumed by me with lemon & sugar :)

Hope you enjoyed this different view of February.

You are in for a real treat...

A couple of weekends ago, I got the chance to get together with these wonderfully creative Ladies from ScrapaGoGo.

We had a fab weekend eating (thanks Janice for cooking), scrapping, chatting & laughing :)

We also did "show & Tell"with the classes for the Getaway in March :D I can't show them to you, but if you are attending the Getaway & I do hope you are, the classes go LIVE tonight between 7pm & 8pm.

I don't envy the Ladies having to choose 7 from the fabulous 21 on offer, but i do know you will not be disappointed :)

Happy Choosing x
