Today I had the great pleasure of spending some time meeting with one of my online friends...
Kim and I "meet" on the Hero Art Flickr group over 3 years ago. She lives in Mandurah in Western Australia. This past weekend, hubby was taking part in the New Zealand Ironman in Taupo and they are having a few days R&R before heading back to Australia. I was thrilled when she contacted me a few months ago to see if we could meet up. Of course, I said YES... and invited them to come to my house for morning tea.
There we are... the blondies from Down Under!
Kim came bearing gifts as well... a beautiful tea towel from her home town, some coasters and a gorgeous Aboriginal canvas plus a lovely set of cards inspired by Jennifer McGuire's Kindness sets as well as a beautiful card that's sitting on my bookcase. And a fabulous bottle of wine. She really spoilt me. Mandurah is about 45 minutes south of Perth where my daughter lives so when I go over in May to visit, I'm going to catch up with her again. She told me there is a Craft and Quilt Fair on while I'm there so we will try and meet there.
I took the day off to meet with Kim and her hubby so got some time to play in the afternoon
I made this card for the Tag It game at StampNation. You CASE the card of the person before you. I CASEd a card from Melissa. I used her colours but mine are much brighter. I also used her idea of a circle with the sentiment and my butterfly is black and hers was white. I used a Hero Arts background with some distress inks, spritzed and stamped onto watercolour card. The circle sentiments are from the StampNation Young at Heart collection.
Thanks for stopping by
