Its party time - almost!

Hello there! How are you? I do hope you are well and happy! My job search has intensified and I am glad to report I do actually have an interview this week.... on Thursday ...its for a job as a gift packer - I will have to wait and see how that goes! Lots of applications in too. Plus there's a job day on Thursday afternoon at a local farm village - so I will probably go along to that and see what happens!

Today I want to share with you the 'party bags' I have created for Penny's birthday party later in the month. She decided she wanted an 'ancient elements' theme...she and Lucy have been busy making activities for Earth, Air, Fire and water.... I have yet to really fully understand all of the activities but I hope I do find out soon! I think we may be decorating candles at some point... oh and I have to make an antigravity cake too! Oh joy!


Here are two of the four bags - as you can see I utilised my clarity stamps to make the bags which will be given out at the start of the party filled with bits and bobs plus game material! 


A closer look! To decorate the bags  I first added gesso in four squares on the bags then stamped each image in paints and then filled in more of the details in paint! I think they look pretty cool!

Have a great day - and indeed week!
