TCR 124 and something just for fun

Rushing this blog post before it's Friday in Australia and a new palette release over at The Color Room.

This is the current one in collaboration with Prima who are our August sponsors.

I had plans for my page but everything turned out completely different. I suddenly ran out of time and had to rush everything, which is never a good thing to do. Here it is, my "Green Little Apples" with DH and MIL.


The papers are Prima Tea Thyme and G45 Ladies Diary.

 

 
The new Prima embellies are just heavenly! I've stocked up plenty.

 
Gold micro beads, love the stuff.

 
Prima resin bird, wood clock face, metal cog, metal clock face and hands, metal trinket and blooms.
D-E-L-I-S-H!

 

 
While on summer hols, I had time to create something just for myself. Love the G45 Ladies Diary and played a little bit more with the papers. This is not a take on any sketch or any challenge, just something I made.

 
The photo is not my own, it's by the Finnish photographer whom I've mentioned before. I have her permission to use photos off her website as long as I point out they are not mine.
 
 
When I was a little girl, we spent all summers in Finland with my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother + a great many cousins, aunties and uncles. In the tiny village close to the Russian border where my grandfather lived, there was only one single phone and it hung on the wall in one of the houses down the hill and just before the dwindling dirtroad made a sharp curve.

It was mighty exciting to walk there with my grand father. There was always lots of people waiting for their calls to come through and while waiting, they were drinking coffee and gossiping. The men rolled their own cigarettes and they all had tobacco flakes in the corner of their mouth. I always got an orange soda and sat there quiet as a mouse in a corner, eyes big as saucers and ears like antennae listening to everything that was said.

 

 

 

 

And to finish this post, I'll give you a sneak of the next case file over at CSI. It will be released on Friday afternoon US Eastern time/midnight European time/Saturday morning in Australia.

Cheerio everybody! only 2 days to go before the weekend is here! YAY!
