Yesterday saw me and hubby head off to meet our eldest son Tom at Manchester University where he graduated with his Masters degree in research. He loves studying and has a bottomless soul when it comes to knowledge but he did show this from a very early age. His love of books and reading was apparent from babyhood and often as he grew he would have a book in his pocket to fill any empty moments with a little more knowledge. To say I am proud of my kids is an understatement which I am sure every mum feels too.
He looks so much like my own Dad its uncanny and I know my Dad is enjoying watching his grow and develop from above. Well done Son!
On Monday Mum and I played with distress markers. I used them on a cute image where as Mums were more traditional. Both of us were so pleased with the outcomes Mum asked to go to the local shop to buy a set today!
I love how easy they are to use and how developing depth is a breeze. Only helps with the right paper though this is WHS 300 gsm cold pressed watercolour paper. Often on offer in the sale so if you fancy a try look out for it after Christmas.
As you an maybe tell i turned my image into a commission card. Been so busy with those lately I do wish i could train folks to think about them in November!!
Thanks for stopping by today especially if you have managed to leave a comment too - I really appreciate it xx Janet xx
