PW swap



It has been tooooooooo long since I did a Paper Whimsy swap, this is for a postcard swap - Spring Friends. I loved how it turned out especially as life was conspiring to prevent me from getting it done - but it is done and I have to say I am HAPPY with it.
I adore the chipboard flowers, they are so cool and I was really pleased with them.

Life has been filled with sadness recently with 3 deaths, my best friends mum, a friends baby and one of my son Jazz's ex girlfriends mum too. Life is so fragile that we should appreciate every day.

I signed up for a few more swaps this month and created this for a swap with Art Friends on Facebook



The theme was The Merry Month of May and had to include a bird, a bee and blooms, hope my interpretation is well received by the recipient.
I am keeping this brief so until next time ciao x

What a wonderful Weekend in Wales

So Friday night saw us at THE BEST Chinese restaurant I have ever been to and then to top it off the company was fab too...








and the walk to the Chinese threw up some delights...






 saw this shop, off course it was closed because it was Friday evening so I put it on my list of to do's for Saturday
 Quaint Welsh holiday lets

 Another shop I investigated

And this is what I bought from the shops when they were opened...






 going to have a lot of fun with this stuff... and it was all at bargain prices!

 I couldn't resist this bracelet for China, she has a thing about whacky, off the wall bracelets and guess what she loved it.



and finally some flowers to share...


 Welsh poppies












Wales was truly beautiful and I am so happy that I went and had such a FANTASTIC time.
Thanks for dropping by, xxx
