Aahhh, October is here!!!

This was the sky as I pulled into our drive on Monday night at 7.30 - isn't it spectacular. I took loads of photos but I won't bore you so here's just one...
These are the youngsters having a good time at Monday night's class - they are sewing ricrac and die cut flowers onto the back cover of their black and white albums... This is a Jacaranda tree in our garden that has fern like leaves...

and our beautiful orange tree - sadly this tree might not survive as we are having an extension to the downstairs bedroom and it will have to be moved...the oranges on here are the sweetest you can find... I took one Jacaranda and one orange leaf and one from a tree that might be a fig tree - it self seeded so who knows! and used Dyan's Dylusions sprays and sprayed over two pages of my 365 day challenge diary - long overdue but better late than never eh Kate!...I then wrote a little about each and did a bit of sketching and doodling
I drew around an orange tree leaf onto hammered card to give a good texture and then cut 30 more and then sprayed them, again with Dylusions - very messy but fun - boy did my hand ache after cutting 31 of them!! I will write on the leaves each day and stick them in at intervals when I have two or three... and this is some of the youngsters having a laugh at class last night...

More soon
Bye for now
Sue
