Not much time for craftin'........


              Hi All,
 
              well lets see...yes I'm still alive,
              still working on the dealings of my arthritis in and out of specialists etc.,
              but I'm getting there,
              so crafting hasn't been a big part of life.....unfortunately....
              my fingers just seize at present so I'm not a happy camper!!
              My big boy is now in year one of school and well it was a bumpy ride for the start.
              WE had a lot of trouble last year with "Bullying" and it started the same....
.             it has subsided for now,
              and his school has been very supportive and is helping us manage the problem,
             On a lighter side he finally has his 2 front teeth starting to show!!! YAH!!!
             Oh it's a biggy for us as we have been waiting and waiting,
             He had a nasty accident at childcare (one of a few) and lost his first 4 front teeth
             due to an "accident"!!
             His bottom 2 came through no problem but his 2 top ones ...well let's just say they kept us      
             WAITING!!
             So will share some pics when they're on show properly!
             We've been to some really nice playgrounds down at grans place on our last visit
             so stay tuned for some layouts!!
             Fingers crossed that mine are on board with my creative flow hahaha!!
             I have had  a little play and will share some creations,
             I hope you have all been well and thank you to all your well wishes and thoughts,
             it's so nice to know I have such wonderful friends xoxoxo

                  So without further waffling ...... here's  have been playing with.

 
                                                                     "Prima Optimist Tags"


 
"Perfect Day"
I had a fun afternoon of fussy cutting something I love but don't
get to indulge too much these days!!
I have layered with dies and cheese cloth, paints, glimmers
gesso and flowers...Prima of course!!
Died the seem binding with pink and orange colours to blend..
I have used glimmer mists and Tim Holtz re inkers!! 



 
My last tag I have started off with painting with gesso
then used Prima's stencils, added some layers of dies and goodies
and copied my seem binding dying.
I added some more gesso for a soft effect on the flowers and bits here and there!!

 
Happy Craftin
