Week 40 This is a photo of an installation called ‘Stars for Eternity’ inside Hexham Abbey. There are 6,000 paper origami stars made by local people and suspended in the chancel.

An ever changing landscape!  I drive through this valley en route shopping once a week, or once a fortnight.  An incredible display of  colour as  the sun was rising yesterday morning.  Well worth leaving early, even though I had to wait  for the shops to open. 

A delightful and restful photo - I could look at it for hours.

Oops... thought I’d posted this but hadn’t.

Week 39 I wanted to photograph a rather majestic tree but this bull settled himself in my shot and wouldn’t move so I photographed him instead.

Not the sort of layout I usually do but the colour was dictated by my photo of some pink roses.

Week 38 This is a close up a Chrysanthemum bought as a houseplant.  I just love the delicate colouring to the petal edges.

I enjoyed this layout. It was nice to take some time to think about my father who died many years ago. The photo of him is dated 1947 which made it a perfect fit for this layout. The papers are from the bundle called Egypt by Marisa Lerin.  I’ve not used any shadows because whatever I tried made something else look odd. 

F = Falafel

C = Cake

We have them at work that stick close to the door we go in.  We have table out there by the grassy spots and they will come and sleep when we are sitting there.  they lay on their sides and totally zonk out.  When I came up the walkway last friday, my co-workers motioned me to stop.  One was sleeping right by where I would walk and one was sleeping about 3 feet from the co-working sitting at the table.  I just love them.  You photo is stunning, it just makes me want to reach in and pet it.  I love it when they get up and stretch like a cat or dog does.  

It's wonderful that you get to see so many. I see some in fields usually eating or scampering about. The one in the photograph was in a quiet church graveyard and a pleasure to see just sitting the way he was.

We had terrible weather this last couple of days and I, amongst other things, rewatched the last masterclass Craft Your Desk. I made the office supplies that were demonstrated in the class and I'm sure they will come in handy on a later moment. Nevertheless I wanted to show them and made a simple layout and added some other suitable items that I already had done some time ago. The only things that I didn't made are the plant and the icons on the letterboard, they came from my stash. 

These are wonderful. I missed the masterclass and haven't had time to look at it yet but you have inspired me to make time. Well done Corrie.

Week 37 I was fortunate to meet this delightful rabbit whilst on a walk. He was having a quite moment so I kept my distance and let him be.

Didn’t go for the school theme but used the font for a quote layout.

“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough” is a quote from Ellen Johnson Sirleaf who was president of Liberia from 2006 to 2018. She was the first elected female head of state in Africa.

The background is one of my photos of clouds.

Week 36 I managed to grow some really tall sunflowers this year. This is one of them.
