A catch up .........




 Hello friends

Hope you are all good
I know I've been a terrible blogger......
its been a crazy busy few weeks

After this week is over I get two weeks off the Pay the bills job, YIPPEE!
(so hopefully normal service will resume So grab yourself a coffee.....a bit of a long post!)
First of all I will share this Dylusions inspired house with you,made using Ranger #12 tag in manilla, some chipboard and lots of Dylusions!

I used Tims Alterations dream die 
After cutting the roof into sections i linked them all together with Idea-ology rings
the ribbon was coloured using the new Distress stains......some really gorgeous colours! 
to finish I coloured some sticky back canvas to create leaves and added wire  
Soooo as well as working at the normal job I paid a visit oop north to my favourite arty place
Its been a while since I last visited and
I was sooooooo giddy with excitement as when I got there I got the best Christmas  pressie ever.....
About a hundred years ago Dyan said she would make me a dress..........and I've been a right pain in the whatsit asking her everytime I saw her....
Well, I now own my very own  "Reaveley" dress......SQUEAL
 OMG how cool is that!
Thank you soooo much HRH I love it!
I had to whip off my clothes (not in public by the way) and model, its got loads of skeletons and skulls!

That was followed by a gathering of dress twirling!!
(apologize for the photo quality but Ive got a new phone that I still cant work!)
a group hug in our frocks!

So after having a cuppa with the gorgeous Dyan
I had to knuckle down and do some work.......
Heres my class in full swing  
Oooo not sure why my hands are on my hips! 
lots of inky hands 
(Thank you Sandra for my fab card x)
then it was time for cuddles..... 

the gorgeous Sandra
My Ranger buddy, the fabulous Kate and our gorgeous girls
as you can see we were very giggly!
Had to have  a kiss with the lovely Marie
and finally I had a hug with the one and only Dyan  (aka Lucy)
Feel free to leave a caption!!
A huge thank you to Dyan, the teachers and all the fabulous peeps at AFTH  
it really is a special place......if you have not been yet........go
 you wont be dissapointed! 

Right I've waffled on far to much as always feel free to leave a comment

Hope to be back very soon with something inky!
Cheerio for now
