This one is called Fairytale...
I tried to colour her in more delicate shades to go with the pastel papers. DP's are another set of Dream Street Papers from Jill at The Hobby House.
Blimey, hasn't the weather turned cold? Today I have been chilled to the bone!
The building my office is in is an old church, and I'm upstairs at the side of what was the chapel, so it's a cold building anyway, but I love my little office, there's only me works in there and the temperature is hot, hot, hot! Someone says my office is the temperature of Barbados, and that's the way I like it. But not today.
(For those who don't know, modern aircon heats as well as cools, except in my office where I only ever have it on heat)
Today the aircon wouldn't work and it was freezing cold. I only took my coat off to put on a cardigan and a body warmer then put my coat back on top! Anyone know any good aircon engineers? Cos the sods I work for wouldn't come in and sort it out! So I've told them that tomorrow I shall bring in a flask...of hot gluhwein and Amaretto, I might not get much work done but I'll be warm (and happy). Well, 'tis the season for it...almost!
Hope you're all warm and happy wherever you are!
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xx

Oh Elaine - sounds dreadful. Cold here too but we have storage heaters & Sanit R checks the forecast each night & sets the settings accordingly. Especially good if I'm needed to do anything - too cold & my body shuts down & I go to sleep - even in summer. Now to the job in hand of commenting - you've really surpassed yourself with this one - that hair is INCREDIBLE. An absolutely brilliant showcasing & the papers are so right for her.

ReplyDeleteHi Elaine
ReplyDeleteluvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv your card, image is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty, and as for those scrummy paper's I purchased these at the Ally Pallly show, BUT so far have not been able to bring myself to cut in to them lol.
You said that you were cold today, BUT I was freezing. On Friday night (6pm) some tealeafs decided to cut the leccy cable's at the local mushroom farm, throwing all the local's in to darkness. We didn't get the electric put back on to the next day. They had to hire in an emergency generator, it has to be a HEAVY LARGE generator (A) because of the amount of consumer's and (B) because in a lot of case's the tealeaf's come back and nick the generator when everyone is tucked up in bed (can you adam & eve it). Yesterday I was all tucked up cozily in my craft room, and the leccy went off again. I went out to enquire how long it was going to be off for, and was told 30 min's luv. The engineer said your neighbour's have complained that the generator is too noisy, so we have got to move it. 3 hour's later the electric was restored, my hand's & feet were blue with the cold, my glasses kept steaming up as I was trying to colour in. It didn't help as the weather outside was SO COLD here. Hope you get your's fixed, if not tell them that you are not going to work till it is.
hugs
