WOYWW - Back to Reality !

So here we are back in rainy Wales - is it just me or is Autumn really early this year ?
Its only the start of October and so many of the leaves are already glowing with their Autumn colours and falling steadily !
And here we are getting up in the dark, leaving for work in the dark & dark so early at night too - and months of this lying ahead of us !!

Anyway - to happier crafty stuff - but not much actually going on since we got home - as it was arrive home & straight back to work !

So I still have my box of shimmer misted things ready to scrap - and in the middle is a draft of a new project - it's going to be a roadmap of my life inspired by the "Personal Geographies" book I have been reading. I am going to work it up onto a background and add pictures etc - its a bit raw & personal at the moment so I'm not ready to share a close up !

My Mum & Dad sent me some birthday money which I spent on stash - I got myself some Radiant Rains shimmer pigments in a half price sale - here are three of them ! I am really looking forward to playing with these !

I have a new Lilac stamp from Sheena Douglass and a new flower embossing folder

Also my friend Jan in Spain gave me some lovely die cut pieces that she had cut for me - these will be fun to work into projects !

My Sister & I share out sending cards for our family - and we have a host of cousins with birthdays this month - so the only thing I have found time to do is whip up a couple of cards - I do love these Wellington Bear card making elements !!

Anyway - must dash ! Have a great crafty week !
