BITS AND PIECES

LOOKY LOOKY


JESSI has her PARASOL AND PAPER SWAP goodies.

I gave a sneak peek back here.
This is what it was.

I was pleased with how the blue placemats turned out with the appliquéd parasol on them.

The paper doll also had a photo of Jessi on it (she is hanging on the parasol in the photo).

Do you see the yummy red umbrella lolly pops there.
Remember to click on the photos so you can enlarge them
and get a better look


I think what I enjoyed creating the most was the ‘It’s Raining Men’ collage.

I used a photo of Jessi and photos of her son and my 2 sons.


I forgot to put the tags in the photo too.




Shannon from Paint Mine Pink did a fabulous job of hosting this swap.


Thanks Shannon



Look what I got in the mail German bisque dolls

from Kecia of Lemoncholy’s flight of fancy.
Check this on her blog to see where they came from.

Kecia has used them in some of her jewellery, check out her Etsy and see her creations
Thanks Kecia they are so cute.



The colour for this weeks Shades of Inspiration hosted by Sara of Sadie Olive is green.
Some green from the house and garden



Nappy/Daiper Cake



Cute teapot
