This is how I spent last weekend with those lovely people at lovin ink retreat. Thank you Janet and Michelle. It was great to catch up with people I only see at this retreat and to meet new crafters. We also made buttons and other embelishments to fill the box.

This is a piece of altered art created by my 5 year old grandaughter Elise. She lives in Leguevin France. When the family came to visit last autumn she put this together. Firstly we went for a walk where Elise caught the leaves as they fell from the trees. When we got home she gessoed, painted and stamped the frame. Then she arranged the leaves and put them behind the glass.

Since Elise came to visit she has had a birthday. This is the card I made for her 6th birthday in February
