I really love the Magnolia brand rubber stamps! I've never been a great 'stamper' but recently I purchased my first 'Tilda' and made some of my Christmas cards featuring her. I just love the 'chunkiness' of them - just great to colour and since I began using Copic markers, I love them even more.
Now this is not a free commercial for Magnolia or Copic - I just wanted to show some of the cards I've been making recently. So without any more ado -
ta da!!
I deliberately left these cards bereft of wording - I'll just add something appropriate when I choose to use them. This weekend I'm planning to give the baby boy away with a small gift to a new mum who's recently had a little boy named Malachai - so I'll add a cutesy 'something or other' that I think is exactly 'her'.
My visit to the eye specialist yesterday went well. It seems one tear duct may have been partially blocked but after a squirt of saline from a syringe through a mini-mini canula, it seemed to unblock with a squirt into my nose! A strange feeling. After a couple of drops into my eyes which made my pupils dilated and another examination, it seems I have the beginnings of cataracts. Oh well - that's aging for you I guess. It's not concerning me - it could be years before anything needs to be done about that particular situation. I spent the best part of the rest of the day though, worried by my dilated pupils - fortunately the sky was fairly dull for the drive home but my sight didn't right itself until late in the afternoon. Not too much of a problem though - and so on that note -
All for this time
Blessings!
