I'm back

Hello all,

I am back from my amazing week in Wales. It really was amazing!! We didn't have a single drop of rain the whole week, the activities were enjoyable and the free time with my mates in the evenings was brilliant fun. We got back Friday evening, I am still shattered from the late nights and busy days, but it was worth it :) Wales is a gorgeous place, I can't believe we haven't explored that area as a holiday before, but we shall have to now. Here is one of my favourite photos from the week.

Yes, this really is Wales, and oh yes, it's a dandelion again :D Some of you may know it as a constantly wet place, I guess we just had a very lucky week. This was taken whilst laying in a meadow, sunbathing, after carrying out one of our coursework assignments on the nearby dry stone wall. I'm glad I had sun cream on this day, I didn't want to get burnt even more than I had the day before!!

To relax, and enjoy a task that wasn't identifying lichen on a tree, I created a scrapbook layout at the weekend. Here is my LO, I have followed Sketchy Thursday's GDT sketch and used the three requirements which were
• A summer topic
• The colors red, orange and/or yellow
• A journaling spot

The summer topic is quite obvious really, as are the colours, and the journalling spot is nestled behind the two flowers, but I have also printed my journalling on strips.
Here is the sketch

I am quite pleased with the LO, although there is one thing I don't like, I don't like the 'summer', there is too big a gap between the 'summer' and 'portrait', but pva glue isn't forgiving and I couldn't change it without ripping too much paper.

Here are a couple of close ups

Bye for now, I shall hopefully be back at the beginning of next week to show you a cake I've made, that's if it goes ok!!
