Am back again,

I was lucky enough to meet up with penpals  some of whom I have corresponded with for over 20 years. I was wonderful to meet up in person and the hospitality that we were shown . they took us to place we had heard of a but had never had the opportunity to actually see. One of my favourites was to  1 3th century  pub  where  I embarrassed my self by pointing to the  4 foot high doorways and coming out with "are these for children"? No, says my friend laughing, Kate ,People in the 13th century werenn't very tall . Duh.

On the scrapbooking front I have started to incorporate some different techniques  which look quite good .One was of The Effiel Tower .Did this in silver card and used  thick  double sided mounting take to make it stand out from the  page also matted some of the photos onto  white red and blue (as in the french @#$%*) looks quite effective.
Am going to start on a Beatrix potter page tomorrow have enlargesd and cut out some of her charatecters and intend trying a decoupage effect .will let you know if it works out. bye for now
