Get Picky



Noticed this new Get Picky challenge site and thought I would have a go.  This was my take on the sketch.  I just took these pics of Luke and of course he was making silly faces, but I managed to get a few good ones of him smiling.  He's 17  now,  I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by.

Used Rose Moka, Prima, Bo Bunny and BG pp's, some knotted Green Tara twine, machine stitching and of course a splash of paint always looks good on a teen boy LO.

Made My Day

I thought I would share these cute little creations with made by my sweet little neighbours next door.  We have such lovely new neighbours with 2 gorgeous girls who are very arty crafty.  I have been sorting through my scrap stash and having a big cleanout, so I decided to pass on a big bag of bits and pieces.  The girls were in heaven going through the bag.  Yesterday I found these two adorable little Thank You cards in my mailbox... just made my day!!

Thanks for stopping by :)
