want to know a secret?

I just did my Christmas shopping over at Cottage by the Pond which is the etsy
shop from the very talented Diane Knott and her daughter Holly.
Well, this is no secret as you all know Diane and her beautiful work.
Since I can't show you what I bought, Diane was so kind to allow me to use her photos.
Thank you Diane!

I'm not very creative lately

This Book cover I made a couples of days ago for Mary's Collage Coterie workshop and you might remember the bird collage from an earlier  post. I thought it would be perfect for my little Book.
Other than that I havn't been very creative and I'm so behind with the class. Hope to catch up soon.

                                       Here I'm just trying to take better pictures - not too bad.

                                                        Hydrangeas from my Garden

                                            and  some roses for you                                     Wishing you all a wonderful day my friends
                                             and thanks for stopping by.
