Too much time on my hands...?

In the gym by 7am, shopping done and home by 10....

A dozen blackberry and apple crumble muffins, 30 chocolate covered cake bites and 3 shepherds pies later; probably just as well I have joined the gym! :)

 
(PS - I am available for weddings, christenings and Bar Mitzvahs!!)

Rachael v the Himalayas !!

Hello friends!!

My daughter Rachael, who some of you know already,  has set herself a MASSIVE challenge for next year - she is trekking the Himalayas !  Please check out her fundraising page, and if you could donate, that would be fantastic! She is raising money in memory of my Dad, who passed away 3 years ago today...

Cheers, from all of us - and from my Dad....!

CGAA Speedpaint - day 2

Jack Frost's Asylum for Malcontent Snowmen


 
So I figured if the snowmen were standing outside in the cold and snow all day, their asylum would be somewhere that appeared warm without actually being so...(warmth = bad news if you are a snowman!)

And this was hardly a speedpaint - I got my stamp-sized tablet out, and it took AGES!!!  :)

CGAA Speedpaint challenge

OK, so first out, I don't have Photoshop, and although I do have a very basic tablet, this was not done using it, as it is so covered in dust upstairs, and  I feared for it's viability! So, this this is some free programme I downloaded... Twisted Brush, I think... and just me and the mouse! :)
About 10 mins...once I had worked out how to access the brushes! :)
