Busy end to the week.....

Hi folks.
Hope you all have had a great weekend. I've had a lovely busy weekend . Friday saw me teaching my introduction to art journalling class at The Craft Barn which was as always, great fun and lovely to see how everyone dived right in! Thanks ladies.
Today saw me back at The Craft Barn to do my Apothecary Shop class. Another great bunch of ladies  who worked to create their old fashioned shop window scenes.....
This is what we did.
 Using the Tando triple arch as a starting point we created this, layers of gesso, paints, alcohol inks, stamping acetate and tissue ; the list goes on......
 Aren't these bottles great? There's a little note pad in the front.....
Just peeking out from the back you can see the box that has place to pop a pen or two  making this a great project to keep near the phone for those important messages!

Speaking of important things; tallying up my email subscribers with my Google followers I saw today that I've just passed the 400 followers mark! I'm humbled and thrilled at the same time to reach that milestone (before I go to Ranger Uni in about 10 days! Well; you did not really expect me NOT to mention it did you?!) so do keep an eye out for a follower candy giveaway post to celebrate coming soon.

Right, my bed is calling my name so I'll say cheerio.
Bless you all
