settle down with a cuppa for a catch up of July before August is gone too...

I thought I had better get a move on with my catching up as

we are getting well into August so here goes - lots of photos and not too many words so hope you will stick with it to the end...

This birdhouse I taught to the ladies over the last two Friday mornings... much more my colour zone than the yellow one...

 and this cute little caddy...

 complete with three notecards and hand made envelopes

 lots of smiling faces from the girls with their projects...

a notebook that was painted, coloured and heat embossed, stamped, diecut, distressed, stickled and liquid pearled!

and more happy faces...

a couple of scrapbook pages with techniques...

and even more happy faces...

the 2012 album that was meant to be a 3 week project during June and that took anywhere between 3 and 8 weeks for the girls to complete...

Yaa and I said goodbye to Arlette who has moved back to Holland to live - you'll be missed sweetie...

at the beginning of July Tanya came to visit for 2 glorious weeks - we have lots of fun and laughter when we are together...

we had cocktails...

we had a day at the beach...

she taught the Friday ladies class...

she made a new window display for me...very glittery and so not Tanya but extremely gorgeous...

we were pampered... me on the left, Tanya on the right...

she taught the Saturday morning class...lots more laughter...

and there is so much more but that's all you are getting as I really don't want to bore you...
