Hey
all
Well
here we are nearly at the end of the 2nd month of 2014 already …. Eek!!!!
Time sure does fly especially when you’re having fun … and I HAVE been having
fun ;) So I thought I would pop by and share some pics with you so you can see
a little of what’s been going on in my little world!
As
a lot of you will know the last two years we have been on a working holiday on
a cruise ship to the Amazon and Caribbean (I taught craft classes and hubs made
‘em laugh!) but this year we decided it was time for some us time so we have
been on our jollies to our beloved Mexico …
We
went on some great trips (all by public bus, we try and avoid the tourist trap as
we have visited so many times we know how to get around under our own steam ;))
Highlights were Playa Del Carmen, Isla Mujeres, Xcaret and Chichen Itza as well
as many visits to the locals beach we frequent in Cancun where we have so much
fun with our Mexican friends especially the day we went (un knowingly) on their
bank holiday … crazy times!
I
am on inspiration overload from all the artwork, culture and colours we
experienced, as ever, on our travels
And
completely relaxed from such a lovely time. This picture shows the boat we travelled
on to the Spa under that waterfall for a Mayan massage at Xcaret, bliss,
although the stripping off of the clothes in the boat was an experience, I won’t
go into details but let your imaginations fill in the blanks LOL
We
had (lots of) good food, (lots of) good wine and lots and lots of laughs. I
love my husband and I love our Mexico.
So
I have returned recharged and raring to go …. Well now the shock of being back
in the cold and the jet lag has worn off LOL.
Friday
saw my return to Create and Craft TV after my break with some Serif shows with
Craft Artist 2 professional and the Darling Buds digi kits
I
had such a blast with everyone and it really is like visiting family going to
the studios.
I’m
also thinking about posting little tutorials from some of my Serif work so
watch this space ;)
On
my return this little beauty got packed and sent on its way to Scrap365 magazine
HQ
It’s
one of those pieces of work that I cannot wait for you to see, I love it but
you’ll have to wait until the June/July issue to see it in all it’s the glory.
In the meantime though did you get your copy of the Feb/March issue of the magazine
available now?
It
is a great issue, full of inspiration and has a little contribution from little
old me looking at hybrid scrapping or as our clever Ed has called it ‘Scrap
Fusion’
This
is a sneak but of course you will need to buy the mag to see it in its full
pictorial glory. There will also be a blog extra going live on Tuesday to sit
alongside the article. I have created a step by step screen shot tutorial to
address the digi side of the layouts so I hope you’ll join me then for some
inspiration ;) so go and grab a copy of the mag in the meantime if you don’t
already have it and be inspired!
Well
that’s me for this post, I have lots cooking at Art Tart towers and intend to
be here on a slightly more regular basis from now on to share bits of me with
you …. Hmmmm that sounds a bit wrong but you know what I mean!
Thanks
for popping by and I hope you are all well and happy
Until
soon, as ever, Happy Crafting
Love
MJM
