More Lavinia Cards.

Oh my gosh! Today has been full of learning for me! So far I have taught myself how to use wireless transfer to get my photos from my mobile to my Chrome Book! I still have a few bits to sort out, but I am getting there! Wookie has just come inside and she thinks she is helping me! What she wants is food! She LOVES her food and I always have to hide Romeos dish of biscuits when she comes in because she will happily scoff the lot. She puts weight on easily and so she has a certain amount for food each day. 

On the first and last photo's, the white circles are done with a Lavinia sponge and I used white pan pastel for that. I really like stamping on black, and grey card stock. I think it looks dramatic. The grey card I used here is not quite dark enough for the white pan pastel to show up. Oh dear! I will have to go "shopping" for some darker grey card! 

The card with the 2 Magpies sitting in the flower pods are new stamps from a previous Lavinia release a few months back. I stamped on a piece of Scene-scapes pre - printed card stock. I really like that card stock and need to use it more, rather than have it in a drawer and admiring it! The last card who's some more of the latest LS stamps.The dress and top are 2 separate stamps, as is the Mannequin is also another stamp. I stamped the skirt and top then fussy cut them and then attached them over the Mannequin. Our weather here has been day after day of beautiful clear blue skies. But OMG the temperature really drops when the sun sets. When I got up at 7.30 this morning the temperature was 4c. It was 2.5 degrees overnight. That is COLD! I think that's around 36.5F. We don't get snow here where we live, but we do get the horrible cold temperatures. I was not impressed with that temperature this morning, and quickly turned the heat pump on! I heated the 2 heat pads for Romeo (Cats hate the cold)and they help with his pain from arthritis. He comes to bed with me at night, and has blankets over him as well as a heat pad he sleeps on. I know only too well what arthritis pain is like, and it is always worse in Winter. Having said how cold it was overnight and this morning, in all honesty this July has been very dry with hardly any rain. Very unusual as July is our wettest and coldest month. Gosh, I hope I haven't jinxed it?! They said the temperature overnight last night (2.5c) was the coldest it has been so far this Winter. I believe them!I always do a happy dance on 1st of August, knowing that I survived it, and that (slowly) warmer days are coming, lol!

Well it's just gone 5 pm and the sun has almost disappeared behind the hills. Time for me to close the curtains and doors and turn some heating on before I turn to ice! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

 

 

Lavinia Stamps - Loomweaver Collection.

These first two photo's are of the latest Lavinia Stamps - the Loomweaver's collection.  I finally discovered how to downloaded images from my mobile to my Chrome book! It has taken a lot of blood sweat and TEARS of frustration! Now I need to sort out how to enlarge the text - bear with me!

This Bear - "Ashryn" is from a previous range, also Lavinia. I'm going to  this and sort things out, so I will end this  short post here! Technology is fabulous - until you end up with a completely new device!!

Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day!

The photo above is how the stamps arrived, all in cellophane bags. Not to forget the very important Lavinia chocolate that always comes with each order! I was very exciting opening each packet, but unfortunately I wasn't too well that day, and a couple of days later ended up in hospital. 

 

The Dogs Rolled in Horse Poo!!

 

This is an older photo of me on "Buttons", at my sisters farm. We had the whole farm (60 acres) to ride over, which included a few streams. We used to take the farm dogs with us, and they loved swimming in the streams, and then rolled in horse poo which meant we had to hose them down when we got back to the farm house! Stinky dogs! Our horses used to like splashing in the streams as well. Lots of fun!

Ok that's it for now, I am having issues finding my photos on here at the moment. The one above was the first one I found. Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

I'm on a Go Slow Mode!

I don't have any photos to post at the moment. 

I've had to replace my laptop and haven't down loaded any photo's on it  as yet. I've also had some annoying health issues that are taking a long time to go away:-(  I'm having some breathing difficulty which my GP thinks that having Covid may have affected my heart. I am waiting to see a Cardiologist at the local hospital. No idea how long before I can see him. I'm struggling with constant fatigue which has been stopping me from doing things such as crafting. I do have a few things to post here, and once I get the photo's downloaded I will post them. Before I go, THANK YOU Robyn D for your beautiful Butterfly card! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Always remember to be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!     very clever idea and I will make one to share on here one day!
