Happy birthday mummy, I won't tell anyone you're 44, your secret's safe with me. Hope you liked the bag with a piccy of me I got you.
Love Digey

OMG I touched a peel off!!!!!!
AND they made me do decoupage! Despite all this I had an amazing day at http://www.pinnaclecrafts.co.uk/. I went to the alcohol ink lesson with the talented Andrew and I had a great time, although a bit messy.
We coloured peel offs (yes, I touched one, well two actually!) with alcohol inks. Even I have to grudgingly admit that they looked good but will I be buying any? Hmmm, well the jury's out on that one......
The background is actually the waste from a crossword peel off (I keep using that phrase...), I never would have thought of doing that. The card's not finished but I think it looks good so far.
Then we used an item I'm sure we ALL have in our crafting stash - shaving foam!!!! What a mess but amazing results. Marred somewhat by having to do my first ever piece of decoupage - LOL! The shaving foam technique is incredible, it looks like a right mess but the results are fascinating. Colin may have to grow a beard.
Happy Easter! Alcohol inks are SO versatile. This is just a simple plastic egg but it looks much more exciting now. I did have to draw the line at sticking a peel off on it though. Well, there's only so much shiny sticky stuff I can take in one day.
Pinnacles have a new till and the old till rolls don't fit. So, 12 feet of paper and a lot of inking later we all had a beautiful rose each! Now, where can I buy till rolls....??
Roll on April 17th and Tim Holtz day!! Better get my rubber gloves ready though, I don't think my nails will ever be the same again!!

This one's for mum!!
Mum said - 'I haven't seen any pictures of lobsters yet'. So here you go mum - two lobster tails and a cosmopolitan. Cheers!!
It's not all hot sunshine here you know....
Sometimes we have snow.....and ICE!
Yes, we went to ICE! the super ice sculpture exhibition at the Gaylord Palms resort. It was absolutely beautiful but boy was it COLD!!!! The sexy blue coats were provided by them but they advised we wore gloves and scarves. When we decided to go, they said it was 9 degrees in there.Not too bad, I thought. Of course, I forgot that over here they use farenheit not Celsius!!! Much colder than I had anticipated. Good practice for coming home I suppose.
There were ice slides there too.....
