Sketch this lo 41

How is your weekend going. I have had a love day today. A long lay in. Nice week with Turner in the pinewoods. Completed this lo. The sketch is from Sketch this. It is of the Turkish Baths in Harrogate. I just love going there, although i do not get the chance often. It is so relaxing and you feel so clean and refreshed after. Only like to go when it is ladies only. They do mixed sessions, with costumes of course, but i prefer not to have to deal with half naked men. Unless they are between the ages of 20 and 35 with a six pack and biceps to match. Anyway would highly recommend a visit. Takecare.

Hi all. Hope you are having a good weekend. I bobbed over to Art from the Heart this morning. They are having a sale on at the moment. Spant more than i intended. I always set myself a limit. Sometimes i keep to it, and at others i don't. And today was a 'don't' day. Still bagged lots of crafting bargains. Will keep me going for a while. Here is my take on this weeks Di Hickman's challenge. I love these papers. Having a memory lapse at the moment.......Doodlebug. Must be having a bit of a black and white period at the moment. Thanks for stopping by.

Tranquil Moments

Tranquil moments. How i enjoy those. The quiet lounge in the bath filled with bubbles, sipping on a glass filled with an other kind of bubbles. The lay in on a weekend. Only they are too far apart and too few.
However the tranquil moments i am going to introduce you too is a new website. Well new to me. Some of you may have come across it. It is Tranquil Moments: Card Challenge. Created by the lovely Sonda. So if you want a peek bob over. Here is my card from her sketch.

I am thinking about setting my own sketch challenge. Only i do not know how to create the sketches on the computer. Now i know it must be simple. But that is me. Simple. I have tried creating in word, but how do i do wriggley lines and shaded area's. Can any one help? I will love you forever and ever.
Takecare and thanks for stopping by.

Sketch this card 39

Hi day.
Still feeling a bit iffy, even had a nap this afternoon and still feel tired. Hope it passes soon. I was going to go to the gym, but think i may have to give it a miss today. Did this card for this weeks sketch this card challenge. Sorry just can not remember the name of the pp. It is on the tip of my tongue. I used up some scraps that i had so the name strip was not on them.

My nephew is off back to afghanistan today and hopefully will be back in 9 weeks. Fingers crossed he keeps safe.
Takecare.

Sketch this challenge lo

What a day today. The rain is relentless. Not been feeling too good today. Upset tummy and just feel so tired. Just managed to get this lo done before the next sketch goes up on Sketchthis. Sorry the lighting is so bad. I have had to photograph this this evening, so used artificle light. I so cannot wait until the nights get lighter. It is a picture of my son on a hawk walk at centerparcs. He loved it. The picture is of him holding the Hawk. Thought i try my hand at grunge. Not sure if it worked.
Off to bed now to try and get better.
Takecare and thanks for stopping by.

Hi
We have been out looking for tiles today for the bathroom which is our next project. How i love fresh newly decorated rooms, but after the 4th store i have had enough. I forget were i have seen what, and i just want to get on to something else. Today was like that. Decided on something i liked in the very first shop, but had to check out the others, just to make sure i did not miss something.
Any way the tiles have been chosen. Hipppeee. Now just awaiting the next mess, but in that age old saying 'it will be worth it in the end'
How you have a good weekend. I shall leave you with my take on this weeks Di Hickman challenge.

cps 47 and stopping time

This is my take on this weeks cps sketch.

The papers are by wild asparagus, i think. Used the cuttlebug embossing folder for the vines on the background. Cut out a circles and used the notch and dye tool to creat the scolloped edge around the larger one.
This is my latest lo. Took me ages to decide on the title. I known what i felt about the photos, but putting it into words was difficult. This photos are of Luke in his last year at primary school. I was really sad that he was leaving it. It was the end of an era. Not just for him, but for me. He was leaving close contact with some of his friends, and me also. He has made new friends and so have i. But i do miss those days.

Takecare.
Thanks for looking
