MONTE my surfer boy
a morning at the beach, mainly for dogs, where my
boy attached himself to a surfer,
who patiently took him
out on his board and Monte was so excited.
He actually got
on the board, then swam back to shore.
First time at the beach..
He was just so good with other dogs and people there...
Proud of my boy...

Art Journal Journey...words to live by

the dusty attic

Being stuck in bed with the SA nasty virus for last

two weeks, hubby took me across Adelaide to

a scrap place where I could get some chippies 

designed by The Dusty Attic to create

my next challenge project.

PLUS I also noticed today I won a 

$50 voucher to their fabulous store 

by a win in the last challenge>

a bonus for when one is ill.

It has taken two days to complete my project
and here is the result. Thanks to my DIL
for the use of her computer.

shotover jet

When we went to Queenstown, New Zealand,
just after my dad died, my hubby arranged
all sorts of fun activities to keep the mind
busy. The Shotover Jet was just one of them
and it was fabulous so hence another
memory page for me.. I found some
Fabric doilies in the cheap shop, added stitching
and a rolled flower using a die.
Along with twine and a small wreath from
Spotlight store.

Most goods used are from

A little bit of Country

These are not colours I would normally use and
was a bit apprehensive to start but once I did,
found they are fab colours as in the mood
board. Tried to use them all but
not sure if I succeeded.

Painting with acrylic paints on my chippies, as I soon
discovered my TH DI did not achieve the colours
I wanted on my chipboard pieces.
Photo is of one of my family.

Chipboards from The Dusty Attic are:
A little bit of Country
Rustic farm fence
Gum Trees
Birds Nests #1
