New School Year And Some Resolutions.....

Hello!

Well September came round very fast didn't it? My son has returned to school and I have had a couple of days of getting used to being able to think for myself again.The time spent with him in the school holidays is precious, but for me there always comes a time when I need a bit of quiet time just to think and reflect on life. September is almost like a second New Year as we look ahead to the next School Academic New Year and as such I have set my self a few goals which have been churning around in my mind when I have had a spare moment. Do you do this too?

Anyway enough of my ramblings, I thought I would share some cards we made at my last Craft and Cuppa at Lumby Garden Centre. I have continued to run my sessions over the summer and was chuffed to have a couple of extra young people join us in some or all of these sessions. One Young lady joined us at every session and just seemed to relish learning new techniques. I particularly loved that she often brought along her own creations/versions of the projects we had previously made in the class. We will miss her in the first session back after the holidays! I am looking forward to seeing her version of the shaker cards we made in the last session, here they are.....



The photo is not great as I took it just as the sun was going down, we made three cards in this class. For once I decided to go easy on myself! Initially I had thought we would use several shapes for the Shaker windows but once I had made one that I was happy with I decided to stick with circles only and it worked well.



 I will pop along on Friday and post the final card and In the meantime I will attempt to get some better photos of them all together to share. Thank you for visiting, Nic
