Hi everyone,

Here's a photo album/mantle ornament I made for a friend of mine for her birthday.  Proud grandma for the first time, I thought she'd like to show pics of her granddaughter to  one and all.  All she has to do is add her pics

Hello ppls
It's another glorious SUMMER day here, hitting the low 30's I think...  Perfect for the day down at the beach or by the pool side.

Here's a card I made with for the girl that loves Handbags.  Who says a cake has to be the ole fashion round one with fresh cream and fruit, (even though I think their the best ones  :D).  So I created a Designer cake card...  :D  I'm entering this into the challenge over at http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/monday-challenge-40-its-delicious.html

Commissioned Portrait

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd share commissioned painting that I finally finished just in time for their Chrissy present.  It's taken me 6 months from start to finish to complete this.  Lol it took me a cpl of months before I started with the first coat of paint.  The fear of that first brush stroke is quite daunting really, especially when you know the ppl.  Luckily they love the style of painting I do.  With a dozen or more coats of paint and millions of changes I had to decide when to stop otherwise your forever seeing things that you can work on....

The size of the painting is 1.5m high x 1.2m wide.  I was happy to finally see it go .  It was just huge and took up the whole room....

Hope everyone spent the day celebrating with family and friends.  Peace and good will to one and all.
