Allsorts Challenge #833 woodland Critters or Anything Goes

 Hi!

Hope you are well!

Been busy creating!! I missed it! 

Sarah is the host over at Allsorts this fortnight! She would like to see woodland critters. There's the Anything Goes option too!

 I used SceneScapes Autumn Hues. Can't find it on their site. Found it here! Bell Flower Vine, Pipin, Seed Head and Forest Lanterns. I used a stampscapes stamp for the rocks at the base. Sentiment is Concord and 9th.

Whoa, I struggle with little scenes! I love them, they look fantastic; I probably over think them! The paper makes them easier!

Go see what the rest of the DT have created!

World Animal Day is October 4th which fits in so nicely with this fortnights theme. So to celebrate as well as the Lavinia prizes below, there will be some surprise random spot prizes open to all entrants Worldwide.

Two prizes of Lavinia Stamps, stencil and SceneScapes (photos not to scale).

 

 Talk to ya later!

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

When Bryson was here this summer, this odd colored Hopper was on my desk. I had been gifted some Nuvo Shimmer, and had a play. He asked me what I was going to do with it. I said, I wasn't sure, as it didn't turn out how I pictured it in my head. He said, I could make it into his birthday card. So I did! 

This is an accordion fold I got over here! The image is from Stampendous called Cake Nibbler.

I would like to enter in:

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

 I have made an ATC.

This is a large Woodware stamp called Nature Page. I tried to find it online; the places I looked said it was Discontinued/ Out of Stock. That was in Canada.

This is a large stamp, I picked the part with a bird on it.

I had Bryson this summer. Holidayed up north for a bit, then we came to Creston July 18th.

Just before I left, the kids and I looked at a house. We have been looking for one with a suite in the basement for a while. We put an offer in, and it was accepted. Thank goodness for docusign. We bought a house while I was 1500 kms away!

Possession date was July 30th. I gave notice at the place I rent. Bryson and I did get our jam made! This year was Apricot, Blueberry, Cherry and Golden Plum. I got sick the first week of August. My landlords, kids, friends (it takes a village) stepped up to take Bryson to his camps and swimming lessons! I managed to take him to camp and swimming the second week, but had to stay out of the pool area. Too humid and hot and I couldn't breathe. He asked if I could try it for his last day. I made out ok as it wasn't so hot out, and was cloudy! He passed his lessons! 

No one knows what I have. It's my own little plague. I ended up in the hospital emergency for a day. Lots of tests, I didn't see my mom for a week because we didn't know if I was contagious. I am not! I haven't given it to anyone. It's nuts. Bryson helped with the move and was invaluable for an 8 year old! I sold a few things so I wouldn't have to move them! People are incredulous; that I was sick, had Bryson, and moved. Things have to get done people!!

I took Bryson back to Alberta to give him to his parents on August 29th. He started school Tuesday September 2nd.

Now we are emptying storage units! Down to one. Another move, another ruthless clean out! I set the things out. Look at them for a day or two. Have I used/worn this? Will I? A LOT has gone to the thrift store again!!!

My craft area!? In my dining room! I have a huge kitchen. I can put a small table with chairs in there if I'm so inclined. There's also room for 4-5 chairs at one of the counters. I have 2. So far. 

 There you have the rest of the story! I am not moving again until I have to go to the old folks home!

Talk to ya later!
