Although I have about a million things I should be doing at the moment, such as finishing my teaching models for my art journaling course at Artison on Friday, I spent last Saturday afternoon at the Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza in Harrogate, so that means new rubber! Purely in the interest of research, I have obviously had to have a bit of a play! This is one of three stamps I bought at Art from the Heart from Octopode. After some really tricky times last year, this year is definitely going our way, and I do feel like a really rather naughty cat with a really large pot of cream, especially since so many people around the world are having such a horrible time at the moment. A member of our family lives in Lyttleton NZ, and has all shades of carnage surrounding her, and a really good friend of mine in Japan has survived an earthquake and a tsunami, but now faces radiation from the Fukushima leak. It's hard not to feel a bit guilty, but equally, I think some of the events recently just reinforce that you have to live life to the full and seize the moment. And, on a lighter note, who could be downhearted in this beautiful weather!
love your page! and speak for yourself on the beautiful weather...we've had nothing but snow and ice for 2 days! haha it IS spring, right?
ReplyDeletebeautiful page, lovely colours and the stamp from Octopode is great! My sons dad used to live in Lyttleton NZ, hes moved to Nelson now but went down to Christchurch to help after the earthquake, he said it was devestating. It does make you appreciate life to the full x

ReplyDeleteCertainly does look like he has eaten too much cream with that fat tummy. hahaha.
