Warrington - Snow in Bank Park

Bank Park - it looks so magical in the snow, I cant remember the last time we had snow this deep must be a long time ago... we took Mollie for a walk as she loves the snow, but she couldnt hide in this as it wasnt deep enough, she's used to a few feet to romp around in. All the Squirrels were still in bed (sensible) just a few birds looking for food. Perhaps humans should hibernate in Winter, I know some people who just dont function well in this - must be good to be a bear. Me looking really fashionable - at least i have my pink handbag! Started creating this afternoon, but I must say i dont feel motivated ........ desperate for some good news. Ciao

Alice in Wonderland

Here is a picture of the Mad Hatters Tea Party situated in the old fish market in Warrington. The market was demolished and a 'mall' built in its stead....... If I remember correctly I think that Princess Diana came to Warrington to unveil the sculpture and the mall. As the creator of the books 'Lewis Carroll' lived in Daresbury, a lovely village outside Warrington. its a lovely tribute. As you can see some wag put a hat on Alice... think it suits her! The photo was taken on New Years Day 2010 - happy new year..... Ciao

New Year - Las Vegas ..... I wish!

A random picture of happy times in Las Vegas... where we had our honeymoon albeit 5 months late, in 2005. What a great place to spend New Year, that is on my wish list. I lurve Vegas! Also on my wish list:
be more creative; make more ART; think outside the box; that all my friends have a fun filled year and get all that they wish for...... thanks for being there........ Ciao

Paper Cutting

I love paper cutting... I havent done any for such a long time. I gave these as Christmas presents a few years ago.... this survived the 3,800 miles journey in a crate from USA home to England. Paper is so durable.... no wonder it lasts centuries. Ciao

Somerset Studio - Art Journaling

Heres what dropped through my letterbox the other day..... Somerset Studio's Art Journaling. I really lurve this magazine ( I lurve them all!)
It has such diversity of styles, which is great for us journallers, there is no right or wrong way .... there is just your own style. The lovely Kate Crane otherwise The Kathryn Wheel (her blog) is included... I have been privileged to meet her at Art From the Heart(Harrogate) at a class. I still havent got round to sorting out 'widgets' & 'gadgets' for my blog, so please be kind...... Ciao

Table Decorations

I wanted something for a Christmas Centre piece.. I have been looking for ages & i saw this mannequin made from gold sequin wire, then i found the lights and hey presto..... my centre piece! its something i can use again or seperately. I love different! Ciao

Brrrrrr.... Michigan style...poor ducks nowhere to swim!

Thought I'd share this photo of some poor ducks looking for somewhere to swim. The photo was taken in Ann Arbor, Michigan 2 Winters ago... we had a pond on the bottom of the road where we lived, a great place to watch the wildlife especially the ducks anytime of the year..... it was particularly cold (understatement!!!) 2008/9 & the pond was frozen.... now if you want cold, snow and chill factor Michigan is the place to go!!!!!!
