TRN - Saying Goodbye

Hi,

 It's always sad to say goodbye to those special people we meet on our life's journey....

 This Friday I say goodbye to a special colleague and friend as she leaves for pastures new. I will be sad to see her go because she's not only become a friend but she's always encouraged me in my creative pursuits....she has always believed in me and has become a fan of my work....

 She is a bit of a fashion diva.....and because girls can never have too many handbags, I decided I would make a 'bag' for the special gift I have bought for her....


For detailed instructions and close up images, please visit the Robin's Nest blog and be sure to leave a comment....

 Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome Thursday....

 Penny

Hi, Every April and September, Alexandra Palace is buzzing with creative beings coming to get our fill of inspiration and crafty goodness.  Now, I have been attending these craft shows since about 2002...and I always try to make sure that I am free to go...but over the last few years I have been finding it difficult to get there....just because of timing and other things going on... But also because it's changed over the years...it's not as great as it used to be... #sadscrapbooker This April I attended after a long while...and I'm glad I did!  I met some lovely ladies, chatted to like-minded individuals, got so much stuff....not like I need it...of course I do...but most importantly was the inspiration and new techniques I had picked up...amazing! One of the things I've learnt was how to make flowers of a material called foamiran.... I have never heard of foamiran before...but it sure does make beautiful flowers.... As I was browsin

Happy Mail

Hello friends, Now who doesn't like receiving happy mail...especially when you've just returned from holiday.... Happy mail sure does have a way of making us go a little bit crazy and beaming with excitement...or is it just me?  Well, this lovely parcel greeted me when I got home and boy was I excited to get that paper ripping so I could see what was inside?! So this altered shoe swap was hosted by the lovely Jessica at MSR (MyScrapRoom.ning.com) and she was also my swap partner.  She altered this shoe so beautifully and I love how she 'blinded' it up... Have a look to see what she sent me... Love me some happy mail....any day! Thanks for stopping by and checking this out... Take care and craft on... Penny

Hello again, So my second challenge to solve as a CSI special investigator is case file 232 . This challenge with its outdoorsy theme lent itself well to the photo of my two girls on our first visit to Guernsey.  In 2007, we were given the opportunity to relocate to the little island of Guernsey....a place I never knew existed. During the school holidays,   we took the kids on a week long visit  before we made the final decision to move.  Coming from the city life of London it was refreshing to be able to walk in nature and take in the sights of sea, sand and cliffs.  We all loved it and it was such an amazing sight to see the girls wander over the rocks.... Our decision was made...and we lived there for the next 5 years. And the two girls in the photo still live today...adventure turned life changer for them. The Evidence: I normally don't use wooden backgrounds in my scrapbooking, but this time I thought I'd push beyond my comfort zone and use the one wood
