The Apprentice

There are times when I can get on with things ............

And eventually that time runs out when the little princess wakes ........

And the action begins .... climbing curtains, bookcases and in this case, doors. Skidding over table surfaces scattering whatever happens to be lying there.

This afternoon I got the distress inks out on the table to do some ATCs for a swap, and found myself engaging in the usual game of shuffling the pads around - so that little paws did not end up leaving inky prints all around the house. She is really determined to join in with my games. However, after a morning of rampaging, little un was beginning to flag (sigh of relief from me), and climbed on to my shoulders for a birds-eye view of my activities. After a while she decided that there are more comfortable spots to sleep so repaired to the bed and ensconced herself under the covers leaving me to play.

Am having fun these days with the Non Sequitur 'Alice and Wonderland' stamps - having seen the Tim Burton film. Enjoyed the new experience of the 3D specs (have led a sheltered life), and the colours and costumes, but felt they could have done more with some characters. Anyway, it did inspire some play with the Alice stamps, distress inks (Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey, Victorian Velvet and Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Stormy Sky, Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen and Scattered Straw), Perfect Pearls and Archival Inks which all went into these. Unfortunately, the pics don't show the shine of the PPs.

Some of these will go on little books I have made, and will finish assembling this week.
