A Day without Blogger....

Good morning you all! It seems to be a fine and bright day here, with lots of sunshine, birdsong, and no pneumatic drills. The road repairs seem to be finished. I had a good night's sleep, for which I am very thankful, I must have slept as soon as I put the light out, and I feel better for it. I do love painting, but I need to sleep sometimes!
It was a strange day yesterday without Blogger. It shows how many things we just take for granted as being there, and how hard it is when they disappear. I just lost the comments from Thurday's post, so the losses were not too bad!
I felt rather at a loss what to do without visiting blogs....I just needed something else to do, so I actually cleared away several of the *heaps* that have been accumulating over the past weeks. I found a lot of things that I have been missing, and can once again see the surface of my working table.
And I worked on 2 mini books, which I need for swaps. Here are some sneak-peeks of the one that is finished, can't show more, as I want it to be a surprise:

The rest will be revealed when it has reached its destination in England!
And I nearly forgot my *Creavil* challenge card. They want to see butterflies. Here they are:

The butterflies have been stamped with perfect pearls medium and embossed with perfect pearls in gold. The stamps are from Crafty Individuals, the black paper is *black magic* from LaBlanche. The 3-d butterflies have been printed onto acrylic, cut out and mounted onto the easel card.


So, here's wishing you a lovely weekend, take care, thanks for visiting, and especially for all those who left kind comments to cheer me up; it really did me good to see that so many people care!
