yesterday was messy fun at scrapbooks from the heart - earlier in the week i was wondering why on earth i agreed to doing a workshop less than 3 weeks before my due date but it ended up being awesome and getting me excited about artmaking again (it's been a while!)...
everyone was so lovely and made the most inspiring pieces! and i got to make one along with them too :)
down the back sat my mum and ivy - they worked away like little mousies...cute cute cute!
seeing the finished masterpieces was the best! here are a few we got pictures of...
then ivy got bored and covered her hands in paint
i probably would have too if i wasn't pretending to be mature and responsible ;)
i came home and finally organised the crafty stuff i brought home with me in my nice pink studio. now i'm hoping to make some more stuff this week!
i love the line up of artwork...with the smiles standing right behind the creations!!

Your artwork class looked like so much fun, wish I could have made it.
Green painted hands and little girls make me smile.

I would love to attend one of your classes but like others, not likely to be able to any time soon. So...I would be willing to pay a pretty penny for an online tutorial! :) I've been dying to make one of your pretties since I first laid eyes on one. :)
you have inspired me in art and everyday life...thank you!
