… and then there were none!!!

Well that’s it, I finished the final Harry Potter book, and I must say that I LOVED it!!!

I’ve just returned from 3 weeks on Naxos … I had a fab time, cause it’s a place that I love, and I see lots of friends and family and I REST!!! Really rest … hey there’s even time for daydreaming!!! LOL 😀

I’ve taken lost of photos and apart from resting I’ve been READING on my holidays … and this is what I’ve managed in the order that I finished it:

  1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – JK Rowlings
  2. Three in a Bed – Carmen Reid
  3. The Messenger – Daniel Silva
  4. The Sea Lady – Margaret Dribble
  5. Did the Earth Move? – Carmen Reid
  6. My Best Friend’s Girl – Dorothy Koonson
  7. How was it for you? – Carmen Reid
  8. A Place Called Here – Cecelia Ahern
  9. The Hard Way – Lee Child

… not bad eh? I’m currently reading: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield!! 😀 But work starts again on Monday … so have a weekend of catchup to do!!!

Hopefully will have photos to share soon!!

The Fun Times!!!

A final layout done with the help of Alison McGovern and the Design Collective classes!!! 😀
This is totally out of my comfort zone … the photo is printed on transparency and I’ve used acrylic paint to stamp on it! 😀 A photo of me and my nieces!!!

 

 

Some close ups!

I think this will be my last layout for now … I leave on Tuesday for my holidays, and have lots of errands to run tomorrow, so need to clean up and put away all my stuff!!!
Having these scrapathons have been totally enjoyable! 😀

Finally … only one left!!!

Well, I just finished the 6th Harry Potter Book … so one more left to go …. I don’t see myself reading only one chapter a day like I had originally thought to do!!! LOL 😀 It’s been a fabulous trip so far … and I don’t really want it to end … but I’m curious as to how it will play out … Luckily I’ve avoided spoilers … so I think I’m lucky!
