A little bird told me

Amazingly - given that I only started this blog in September last year - this is my 200th post!!   I think it's safe to say, I've enjoyed this blogging lark!!

My two new sets of Wendy Vecchi stamps arrived yesterday in the post - yes, more stamps!! I didn't have time to play much with them yesterday, though I did start this tag.

I coloured the tag with wild honey (just for you, Lori!) and crushed olive.  (I nearly typed crushed grape then, must be thinking about a drink...!!) and stamped the new background in rusty hinge and the leaf border in crushed olive.  The bird is from the new set and so is the text I stamped onto the adage ticket.   I hope I'll get a chance to use the second set of stamps soon (it is Just Word Art so I know it will be used a lot) I cut another wing and 3d'd it and added a rainbow drop for the eye (I know, it's too big!)

I am off to the stamp show in Worthing tomorrow morning, meeting some friends when I join their train at Croydon on the way down - whatever you do, have a lovely weekend and I'll be back to show you what I buy (although, of course, I won't buy too much.....)

EDIT.  Many thanks to Lynn for popping by and alerting me to Tag Tuesday's theme of ticket this week - I've just linked it up!

Congrats, Helen! Another stamp show?? Man, you guys have a lot of shows over there. Hey, thanks for thinking of me on the tag, that's too funny. I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away from wild honey very long. lol. Love how you stamped the background stamp at an angle, brill idea. Don't worry about the eye, looks fine. I've seen some pretty bug eyed birds before...not up close, mind you....

Congratulations your 200th post. Must admit this blog thing is quite enjoyable, considering I said I would never have one. Love the bird on your tag, may have to get myself that. Have a good time at the show. Tracy Evans x x

Hi Helen

So how was the show, more stash no doubt, hard to resist when it's there in front of you.

Loving the colours of this one and there is something appealing about birds in crafting.

Roll on next season, a good investor, hang on to those we have and add a few more - not asking for much really are we.
