Let's Get Shabby - April

This is my entry for the Let's Get Shabby April challenge. You needed to interpret 'Easter' in a shabby theme.

The whole thing from the top to bottom is, birdie from fred The Needle in Penrith, little bird house from Bunnings, Kaisercraft paper (banner) and pearls, the roof is silver masking tape from Bunnings, Basic Grey PP around the Scrapware birdhouse. I painted the birdhouse in Easter colours, which to me mean pastels, green, orange, pink, blue.

The most exciting thing is the largest mushroom. I made it myself from sculpey/fimo. Such fun even though it took me hours.

There are punched butterflies, raffia and choc eggs in the birdhouse.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! Lib x 

A Move and A New Ritual

Welcome to anyone who has followed me here from my old wordpress blog... so here I am at Blogger again. Wordpress was fun for a while but really limited which is why I got a bit sick of it and stopped blogging.

So I have decided to join in with Jodie and make a blog entry a day for 30 days to develop the habit of blogging again.

Day 01 — Your favourite song
Day 02 — Your favourite movie
Day 03 — Your favourite television program
Day 04 — Your favourite book
Day 05 — Your favourite quote
Day 06 — Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 07 — A photo that makes you happy
Day 08 — A photo that makes you angry/sad
Day 09 — A photo you took
Day 10 — A photo of you taken over ten years ago
Day 11 — A photo of you taken recently
Day 12 — Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 13 — A fictional book
Day 14 — A non-fictional book
Day 15 — A fanfic

Now here I went... what the? What is a fanfic? So for both you and my benefit directly from Wiki...

Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for fan labor regarding stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator.

So...
 
Day 15 — A favourite poem!
Day 16 — A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
Day 17 — An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Day 18 — Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 19 — A talent of yours
Day 20 — A hobby of yours
Day 21 — A recipe
Day 22 — A website
Day 23 — A YouTube video
Day 24 — Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 25 — Your day, in great detail
Day 26 — Your week, in great detail
Day 27 — This month, in great detail
Day 28 — This year, in great detail
Day 29 — Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days
Day 30 — Whatever tickles your fancy

then by the end of this daily ritual I will indeed have a well-tickled fancy. I haven't tickled my fancy this much in years.

Welcome to my new blog... third time lucky!

I have decided to come back to blogger. There are such cute templates available now and I found wordpress very serious and really not very flexible. Anyway, thanks for following me here. I will be sharing a lot more this year. My scrap blogging took a back seat in the past couple of years. I am not sure why. I have been creating, just not sharing and I think it's because I have been so bad at making time to blog. I really enjoy having a web record and going back to read though them is such a great feeling.

ok off to bed for now...

Nite
