I've been working hard getting up to date with all the swaps I've put myself down for. Hopefully now I can concentrate on work for Artweeks but I have just got an e-mail from Angie Hughes at Ledbury Artplace about a bookwrap challenge which sounds quite fun ...

Got very involved over the past few days doing Traci Bautista type printing and then making journals. I love making journals - the problem is that I now have so many I shall have to give them away or start doing a lot more sketching! I do keep a journal/sketchbook which I enjoy but I've got a stack now, enough to keep me going for a couple of years. Actually the photo doesn't do

them justice (modesty) 'cos I can't get rid of the

glare.

I'm being taken out to lunch today by my nearest and dearest - it's our 15th wedding anniversary! Amazing how time flies. I've dropped hints about it being a 'crystal' anniversary and how 'roses are the flowers for this anniversary' but I don't think the penny dropped. Never mind, lunch will be good.
