Rocking Your World Friday

It's Friday and on Friday there is the meme on Celtic House called Rocking Your World which is
'the moment to step back and take stock of your week, to work out the positives, the things that have made life more bearable and to celebrate these facts. Pop a post together, come back and link each Friday and let's share our positives around. It's a great therapy and stops life slipping through our fingers or spending too much time dwelling on the negatives. Not sure if it's for you - give it a go - you'll never know until you try!'

So this week
We almost finished clearing my Dad's house.  I took this photo of the sunset whilst we were there.  Although to be honest it wasn't quite this spectacular - when I zoomed the lens the camera interpreted the scene like this.

We met with the lady who is buying my Dad's house and really liked her and her sister and her brother-in-law.  I think they will really enjoy looking after the garden.

We had a reasonable journey to Pembrokeshire on Friday and back on Tuesday despite the Bank Holiday.

On Thursday I did a workshop taught by Tim Holtz which was great.

When I got back from the workshop I was able to Skype with Andy and Naomi.

And last Friday my birthday present arrived from them.

I've read the first 3 chapters.  I need to read chapter 3 again before I move on to chapter 4.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wow! What an amazing time

and what amazing generosity.

This morning I went with Nicky and Morag to a workshop hosted by Personal Impressions and taught by Tim Holtz.

We all had a kit each with everything we needed to make a tag book.  These are my manila tags with the first layer of the background using Distress Stains.

These are the backs of them after stencilling with Tim's new stencils.

The front and backs of inked and stencilled Kraft tags.

And the front of the manila tags as far as I got during the session.

And then it was prezzie time.  We were all given a bag, a signed copy of Tim's book, a Ranger apron (actually we had that at the start) and a scrubbie.

And all of the kit we had been working with.

And just to prove that I was there!  Me!

There was a shop there and I was very restrained.  I only bought some Multi-Medium and some tissue tape.

Although I did come home and order all the stencils from Art from the Heart!  Oops!

Thanks for stopping by.

Little Details

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

And finally for August a 'cupboard' which was high up in a wall.  I love the monotone colours in this.

Thanks for stopping by.
