Just 'playing', my 'new kitchen' and 'frisky Mike!

I have been 'just playing' with my hand made art journal pages, and messing around with paint effects and techniques, just like 'in the old days'. Her's the results.......

Painting, chalking, stamping, embossing, gluing, sticking, peel off's OOOOOOP'S sorry, no peel off's, ha ha.

Some of the pages were torn, others cut straight, simply because they were for 'playing'.

I'd had my T H Sizzix dies for ages and not used them, so gave them a try.

Experimented by making a paper flower.

or two.......I have lots more work to do on them re journalling, but that will come......



SOOOOOOOOO, READY FOR MY KITCHEN NOW?????????

EXCITED?????????






VERY????????

Well don't be, it's only a temporary one (thank goodness.)

My sink unit and draining board

Fridge in the shape of a cool box, and work tops/ pantry, and finally the dining room........... set up for a cosy lunch for two!

On a more positive note, we have ordered my kitchen, but it is a long way off being fitted. We have no floors, just rubble, no plaster on the walls, no plumbing or toilet, no heating, just a stop tap for water supplies and minimal lighting. The good news is (I have to keep telling myself this) is IT WILL BE NICE WHEN IT'S DONE!!!!!!

Finally, both the girls have birthdays this month and Gina had her 30th last weekend, celebrated by an 80's themed night at home. Her friends really did her proud with the fancy dress costumes. Here are some of them, Gina is 3rd from the left.

Looks to me like Mike, with the guitar was feeling a wee bit frisky. Amazing what you can do with an old sock lol!!!!!!!

Think I'll leave you here......
