A Hoot!!

Hoot!! Hoot!!

I love this Woodware Owl stamp and had fun making it.

Coloured him with Copics and added some googly eyes.

I 3D the Owl's beak and the branch. 

The papers came with a Magazine and cut with my 

fave Go Kreate die.

I went to the Sincerely Yours Craft Show

 in Thetford, Norfolk on Sunday with a friend. 

There were a few more stalls there

than at the Christmas event.

It's a small show but great for the essentials,

like card, ribbons, tapes and glue.

But!!!!

I had to buy 2 new huge stamps that I fell in love with.

I will post them probably at the weekend.

I bought one stamp last year in this range and as I 

couldn't decide which one this time, I bought 2 more!! 

More details when I post one!!

Thanks for popping into my little corner and you 

know I just love reading your lovely messages.

Big hugs,

Carol

What a Hoot!!

Another unused Woodware stamp!!

Not really very happy with this card. I used a different

Watercolour 300gsm card. It is smooth as I like it

but I can't put as much water on it as I can with Langton card.

Therefore it was difficult to blend the DI inks.

I have had a very hectic week this week too!!

Everyday doing something home or away!!

I had my friend from West Sussex here, from Friday until

this morning. It was so lovely to see her and gave her the 

haircut she needed!!

On Saturday, (yesterday) we went out to Framlingham with 

another of my friends. A gorgeous, pretty village.

We went to The Castle On The Hill, the one that

Ed Sheeran sings about. He lives in this village.

Didn't bump into him though!!

We get on so well together, as we have the same

silly sense of humour. So had a lot of fun and loads

of laughing. Even when the rain came down on us!

Have a lovely week and thank you for stopping by

my little blog. 

If you leave me a message that are really appreciated and loved, 

I will leave you a message on your blog too.

Big hugs,

Carol

Back Again

Another unused stamp!!

A Woodware stamp purchased some time ago!!

I coloured it with my Zig Pens that were given to me

from Sandy, that had The Craft Barn.

So a big thank you Sandy, they are great to colour with.

We have just returned from holiday number 2!

A week in The Cotswolds

Not as good as holiday number 1 in May,

a week in The Yorkshire Dales.

The highlight was meeting up with the two daughters

of a very old friend. Their Mum, Josie and I had a very close

friendship and she sadly passed away 17 years ago, aged 54 years.

I sat with her through her final hours.

Debbie, the eldest one, drove for 3 hours from her home in 

Sussex to her sister, Karen in Wiltshire!! 

The next day she drove them, for just under 2 hours up to

meet up with me in The Cotswolds!

We had 5 hours of chatting over a long lunch!!

Some tears about losing their Mum and a lot 

of laughter about what we got up to in our younger days!!

It was so lovely to see them.

Josie and I had the same sense of humour.

I was driving us one day, from a craft show in Brighton,

home to the village we lived in West Sussex.

We were laughing so much I had to stop in a lay by,

as I couldn't see the road through the laughter tears!!

I have so many happy memories of our times together.

This photo I took in Bourton-on-the-Water in The Cotswolds.

It was a lovely day and we sat on a bench along side this river.

Then we could not believe our eyes. The whole area

was taken over by Chinese groups of Tourists. 

I know we were tourists, but there was only 2 of us.

There were hundreds of the Chinese and that is not an exaggeration!!

They just took over the village so we left.

 I hope to get back to posting a bit more often.

I have been catching up with your blogs over the last few days.

So thank you for the messages on my last post.

I had scheduled it so it appeared that we were at home!

Hope I haven't bored you with this post.

I will return comments to those that I receive 

 on my blog. 

I do so love reading them and they certainly give me a lift!

Big hugs,

Carol
