Some time ago I sent my “Summertime Mini” to O’Faigh and she has received it so I can now show you what I made her….
To me “Summertime” time means the beach and bright happy colours…

Ready to Post and FNSI

Every few months Sheila invites us to join her in making Post Cards to swap. I just love making and receiving them…
Sheila chose “Autumn” for this swaps theme . As Autumn Down Under never chases much I thought I would do what I think Autumn is in the US.
Squirrels, Acorns and Falling Leaves……


Tina's Autumn Post Card 2014 (3)

What fun making this little guy..( thanks Ellyn, your little squirrel gave me the idea )



Now don't forget to pop over to Wendy's to sign up for our FNSI and give her some hugs as she is a little under the weather.. XX
