It's time I came back

Hi everyone. I'm back. I can't make any excuses, just laziness. It's not that I haven't been active, just not active in a creative way. Some days life just gets in the way. I'm not complaining mind. My clever hubby loves to carve things. Of course with me doing the foody thing it was only a matter of time before he embraced the concept of cooking even if it isn't quite what I had in mind. Here are a couple of pictures of what he's been doing.

I know it.

Yeah I know it that I have been really really slack in posting on my blog. Sorry, I really am. Life just gets in the way doesn't it? I have been a tiny bit productive as you will see but I have to admit, this cooking course thing is just inhibiting my time and I'm not sure I like it! What am I saying? Of course I'm enjoying it! The trouble is, after a full day of thinking of nothing but food, food and more food, the old creative juices have evaporated, yes poof! evaporated! And then dear heart of mine expects me to come home and cook him dinner!!!!! Here are a couple of gift cards that I have done for Trin's shop. Don't forget they are only small.

Mail Art for Inkurables

The plain white envelope was first stamped with the Stampin Up Medallion in three different oranges. Inkadinkadoo birds were first stamped in Basic Gray colour and then stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Distress ink Tumbled Glass was smudged over the envelope leaving an area clear for the address. The edges were done with Not quite Navy ink. Sending sunshine from Darkroom Door and stamp stamp from Cavellini.

Things are a little quiet (artwise) around here

As you know I'm training to be a chef. Most of my creativity has been channelled into my cooking lately. Sad but true. Yesterday it was a 3:00am start and it was off to the Sydney Fish Markets for a school excursion to learn all about fish and crustaceans. As a lover of any seafood it was a real eye-opener into how it actually gets to our table. I certainly have a new appreciation and the reason why some seafood is so costly. Afterwards it was onto the taping of READY STEADY COOK. It was a great experience, and, we got a goody bag and a photo!!

Mail Art

There's a new phenomenon going around and it's called Mail Art! Rachel over at Darkroom Door put out a call for people to mail an envelope which they had decorated with Darkroom Door products so they would be able to display them on their SIA booth . They recieved quite a few and you can check out the photos on the Darkroom Door site. Check out the lovely display of stamps and if you have really really really good eyesight you maybe able to make out some of the new products coming onto the market soon. Oooohhh I wish I could have been there!

This is what I sent her:

Art from across the miles

All the way from Belgium. Els and I organized a swap with one of our Inkurable birthday challenge. What a thrill to recieve one of Els creations and to know that a little piece of my art has travelled all the way to Belgium!
