Time Out at Linda's....

Saturday August 20 saw me over at Lovely Linda's for a Vintage Paper Bag Album workshop from 1pm through til 4.30pm with a great bunch of women. Always good fun to be able to sit and focus on creating with everything you need at your fingertip including guidance from my good friend Linda. Of course, afternoon tea supplied & as always the yummiest Pavlova included. I also bought along a Crunchy Cob loaf filled with yummy spinach dip which also went down very well....especially as I had not had time for lunch!! All up a wonderful afternoon and I mostly got the front cover and one double page inside put together. As I have not yet decided whether it will be a photo album or coffee table book of precious words I have not completed those pages yet, but I have a good back ground to work on......only 15 more pages to go!!!!! If you would like a kit to make your own, Linda is selling them so contact her through her website which I have linked to.

We all got different colours and really have made them to our own taste and styles.....it is amazing how different they all turn out. Here is my start, hope it inspires you to perhaps grab a kit and make your own, especially with Christmas just around the corner.

Some challenges I decided to enter this in are:
