It's nice to have H back at school today, as i'm so shattered from last weeks craziness - H really enjoyed everything he did - especially his day trip to Beaulieu Motor Museum, where it was great to see lots of the cars they trash on 'Top Gear', the monorail and dressing up. I then drove to Eastbourne on Saturday, as i treated a friend of mine for her birthday, tickets to see 'Vincent And Flavia in Dance Till Dawn' and it was brilliant and my friend went all star struck, when we walked into the restaurant and Vincent was having his lunch !!
I can't believe the last time i used this fabby stamp was just under 3 years ago : Penny Black - Hoppy Day / 40-026, I have paper pieced the waistcoat, neckachief and shirt, I distressed the image and edges with : Tim Holtz - 'Tea Dye', the papers are ones i bought in America at Wall-Mart 6 years ago : Martha Stewart - 'Classic Botanical', the sentiment is : LOTV - 'Circular Greetings', the frog buttons : Craftime - 'Button Fun / 602', twine is from my stash.

Totally Gorjuss - where Challenge No: 224 is 'Strings The Thing'
