and just look at my baby shivering out there in the cold :D This was the reason for no shopping... no way was I cleaning all that away and this was just after an hour... those flakes were enormous!!
Didn't seem to be deterring our feathered friends though... they seemed to be delighted to perch on top of the trees... don't they look cute.
So this morning all is well with the world... sun is shining... body has fought off the bugs and I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with DG... he totally puts the L in Love for me. Can't wait to give him a big squishy cuddle and steal a few kisses (do have to steal them though...cos it's not cool to give away kisses at his age!!...lol)So onto this weeks Artygirlz challenge which is flowers. I was asked by my Sister to decorate a blackboard (similar to one I've done before for my other Sister's 40th)... as a gift for her friend at work.
I painted the blackboard and mounted it on paper covered board before adding the decoration.
I did a digital doll of my Sister's friend with a photo she sent me (butterfly for anonymity)... then paper pieced the skirt before mounting it all on card and cutting out.
Flowers came next... crumpled paper ones and prima flowers with buttons and bling...
then a ribbon hanger and some lettering... all papers are Heidi Grace.
The blackboard came with a box of chalks and an eraser so of course I had to decorate those too...

just using some more paper with a few hearts and hand cut small letters.
Ok folks that's it for today... phew you glad to get to the end...lol
