Coffee Pot make and a piano!

Hello Lovelies - how are you? I hope you are well and happy and survived the storms last night - apparently my TV aerial is waving around - will have to get something done about that! It was very rough here - very scary!

Yesterday I also had a piano delivered - my friend Alison was giving hers away and my girls really wanted one - so now we have one - its been a big hit - I think Penny may be even more distracted now though - lol!!!!

I also went to Coffee Pot aswell this morning - Diana brought a lovely Charles Rennie mackintosh set of stamps with her from chocolate baroque. She had cards designed for the ladies to copy but I went off piste and did my own thing! here's my make:


I'm very pleased with this - its such a beautiful stamp set - just gorgeous! I used distress inks picked raspberry and peeled paint to paint the image, masked it then stamped the roses to create the background. 


She's so very pretty! 

I'm supposed to be running today - I hope the weather improves!!! Whatever you do today try to enjoy it!

Big hugs rachel xx
