The winner and a bit of whimsy....


And so to the important bit.......the winner of the JOY journal giveaway is.....JENNIFER BOWER from jen's pen!! YAY!! Congratulations to you! :) And a huge THANKYOU to everyone who took part and left a wonderful comment. There will be more giveaway's of JOY journals to come so please do come back! :)
Apologies for the delay....things haven't been going quite to plan this week, but i'm sure you'll feel heartened to know that while I made you suffer in wait (ha!) I too have endured strife! There has been tears over school scots poetry recitals, sleepless nights as little people move from cots to beds, delerium at work and the final icing on the cake...my celebratory "Burns supper" turns from the traditional" haggis neeps and tatties" to "veggie pasta cheese medley" or rather "what was left over in the cupboard as the food shop hadn't be done"! And we're only on Wednesday!!:)

Below is a piece I've just finished painting, which would be the first time I've got my paints out properly this year. So I'm joining in the whimsical wednesday fun, which I have been intending to join in for some time now but never quite made it. So yay!! I got something right this week! :)


Hope your week is going to plan :)X

  2. NO WAY?????????????? I never win anything!!!!!! I am thrilled beyond all belief that I will get to own one of your beautifully handcrafted and inspiring pieces. What great timing too as my daughter recovers and I now battle the same virus :(. This brings such a smile to my week. Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!!

    And here is hoping you too find some calm to your week. Parenthood and creativity can be so difficult to manage.

    p.s. I'm sorry your Burns supper (I've actually been to one in Canada) didn't go according to plan, but cheesy veggie pasta sounds quite good!
