The beginning

Of a new month and as I said in my last post I was expecting happy mail..So onwards to explain. Last month Carol http://4carol.blogspot.co.nz/ Suggested a photoswap. 6 of us signed up and all we had to do was send a photo of ourself to the person whose name was drawn, so they could scrap it either on a canvas or a LO. I chose a canvas as I wanted it to be something I could display rather than slammed into an album where noone would see it..Sonya Pickles http://picklespatch-sonya.blogspot.co.nz/was the recipient of my photo, a 7x5 which I thought maybe was a little too big for the project.. But hey this lady is so talented nothing fazes her and I love how she has incorporated the wall art in the background of the photo to fit..I am thrilled to bits with this and will treasure it allways. Thank you so much Sonya you are Awesome!!!

My project was a canvas too and I got to scrap for E, and as she was here at the time I also got to take her photo and this is what I came up with..For those of you that know me, I only sign up for things like this when I know I can give my all and like to complete it way before the time frame.. Its not a race i just like to get things done... Pity the housework doesnt work the same way aye LOL.. I sat up till 2 am doing this and have been waiting for weeks it seems to be able to give it to her..Im thinking now that maybe the reason that February was such a long month for me. I am really excited and pleased to say E has this in her hot little hands and she loves it just as I knew she would..Thanks Carol for the brilliant idea and looking forward to seeing the other girls projects..
ciao
