A very good morning to you all, I know I've been a bit quiet but we've had a few stressful days as daughter number one has been in New York on a school trip and we've been on grandparent duty. Thankfully she and the whole party of about 64 are all OK and we actually got to see them, we had a message via one of the newspapers that they would be in Times Square doing a TV interview and saw them on the live web came there and even got a wave. Modern technology certainly can be wonderful.
I have also had my head down busily beavering away sorting everything ready for some changes which you can read all about here , it''s not a new challenge just a re-vamp. There's a new sidebar badge to match our new image and I hope you will grab it and help us spread the word.
My card above is a little scene I made using Stampscape stamps and my current favourite colouring medium, Pan Pastels. Not a lot more to say about it really, other than It was fun to make.
My apologies I've not done a lot of blogging the last few days or got round to many of you, but I am going to try and rectify that over the next day or so. Meanwhile, have a good Thursday.

Glad your daughter and her school party are ok! Must have been a worrying few days for you. Hope they can get a flight home when the time comes, that will be the next thing, catch up on flights! Love the card.
Fabulous scene, Brenda! It could almost be the loch near here, although we have a castle instead of a cabin! So glad your daughter and her party are safe. The wonders of modern technology indeed! x

That scene does look a bit cool, much like how I feel just now. I think the sun might put in an appearance today though it's struggling at the moment. At least it's dry. Everything's very wet underfoot wherever I take the dogs. We are lucky though compared to what they've had in the States. Glad to hear that your daughter and the school party are safe.
Take care,

Your matting of this really brings out the detail of the scenery. The sky & the water look so utterly real.
Glad family are OK - it must have been rather worrying all round with all that has been happening.
Take care of yourself & hope you manage to have some time for yourself too.
Much love

Beautiful scene Brenda. Thankfully your daughter & the rest are OK over in New York. We caught the edge of the storm here, it was scary ! I've never seen anything like it. But we are lucky, no damage at our place (but there are tree branches down around us ) and our hydro was only out for 12 hours. Have a great day, Shirleyx
