Blog Comments

I love blog comments - as do other bloggers. It let's us know first that people are looking at our blog and secondly what you like to see. So please leave a comment on blogs!

Art Lessons - Simple Pastel Drawings




I didn't even like pastels but managed to get 2 decent 5 minute pictures shown below. Then I tried my friends expensive Rembrandt pastels and what a difference. I bought a pack from the use for 1/3 of the price of here in Australia and now can't find time to really play with them.

Art Lessons







I used to draw when I was a teenager (25 years ago!!). I missed it and got so out of practice I couldn't even draw decent stick figures. Anyway, some friends and I are going to art class. I love it and it is my sane time every week. We use all different mediums and our teacher Mary is fantastic letting us explore our own styles. Here are some charcoal drawings I did earlier in the year. I will post some more thing soon. We are currently doing watercolours - something I didn't even think I would enjoy or be able to do. Am loving it - thanks Mary!

My new craft room cupboard







I have a new huge cupboard in my craft room. Now everything is out of plastic boxes, organised and behind dooors for tidiness. This room also doubles as the spare room when friends and family come to stay, so it needs to be tidy!

What a terrible blogger I've been!

How terrible is this - it's been January since I've made a post. I must try and be better!

My News!

I have finished working at my regular job and will be staying at home this year to work for our electrical contracting business. So instead of having 2 jobs like last year, I will only have 1 this year. I am hoping that will mean more time for stamping, scrapping, painting at the local art club and all those good things.



I will also be posting on ebay more often and intend to always have cardstock, embellishments, stamps and other bits and piece continually listing. So please visit my listings. My user name is: debmuraus

Alternatively, please feel free to contact me by email if you are looking for great prices for bulk cardstock or anything you are searching for. I have the cheapest and best white gloss cardstock I have seen around. It is great with alcohol inks. My email address is: debramurray@bigpond.com

Clown Images









One of the groups I am in have a swap going and some people were looking for clown images. Here are a few I have acquired over the years - as far as I know they are all copyright free but please contact me if you know otherwise.
