Animals

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good week?  Although I've only been in at work 2 days this week (it's Easter break at school!), I don't seem to have stopped!  The garden is getting a (much-needed) makeover, so have been busy with the power washer, paint, gardening tools, etc. - accompanied as ever by Tilly the Dog - although I seem to have spent a lot of time trying to stop my black pudding of a dog either walking across all the plants or turning into a zebra, with jaunty white 'highlights' where she keeps coming too close to the wet white paint!  It's like having a toddler!

But it's Friday already - and so a new challenge has started over at CraftyCatz.  This week our lovely Aunty Sue is hosting the challenge and the theme is 'Animals'.  Now, I'm not altogether sure that birds count as 'animals' - but I've used this lovely image from Joanna Sheen's Jane Netley Mayhew decoupage

The pearlised card and ribbon are from stash.  I've used Joanna Sheen dies for the leaves, and a LOTV sentiment.

Please take a few minutes to have a look at the fabulous inspiration from the DT at CraftyCatz and then join in the challenge! 

This is my last post for CraftyCatz for a little while - I'm taking a break as I have a busy few months ahead of me and feel I will be struggling some weeks to get my DT things done.  I would have been so sorry to leave the DT altogether as they are the friendliest, most supportive DT (and I've been with them nearly 2 years! - Gosh doesn't time fly?), but our lovely Blog owner Carol has offered that I can take a little break and then join back in with them when things have calmed down at bit!  Thank you Carol and the DT!

But I'm not stopping Tillys Crafts and there will still be bits and pieces on my blog - I can't give up crafting altogether as I love it too much! And I love checking up on everyone else's creations!

I'll be back soon!
