My wee jaunt in pictures

I'm back! my scheduled posts all seemed to work - thank you for all the lovely comments I received while I was away.

Well I had a super time away at Mar's hoose. Arrived just after 1pm on Friday, Manda arrived and we all had a great catch up and gossip.

Manda came over in the evening and we got stuck into the crafting, we sorted out all Mar's spanking new Prisma pencils and I was privileged to have a wee shot of them - I like them!! they are now on my wish list.

Manda asking what the hell she's meant to do with those nestabilities and "are you sure those are different sizes??"

The famous Prisma's all sorted out

 

Mar and her marigolds

Mar trying out her Prisma's for the very first time.....

and finally my very first try using the Prisma's

I had a fantabulous time, and it was lovely to see Mar and spend some quality time with her  before she goes for her op next month.

We went shopping in MacArthur Glen yesterday, and I got to visit the papermill shop for the first time - an bought some sweeties and wee pressies to take home to Graham and the kids

And here's a couple of pics I took from the train going over the Forth Bridge, looking out over the Firth of Forth

Hi Debs, you look like you all had a ball of a time, but I ask, why no pics of you hmmmmm? are you camera shy? Mar's prisma's are fantastic and you coloured your image perfectly. Is Mar's mcaw real?? I love your photo's, the light is amazing, see if we got the weather in this country, you'd never go anywhere else eh! Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day, Hugs DawnMarie.xx
