Jam Tilda with Blossoms

Well I had to cancel last weeks lesson as I had tummy bug, I am all better now, and will teach the rose next week. Today I have been playing with a few "Tilda's" that a kind friend sent to me!! Here is my version of the cherry blossom with Jam Tilda sitting under the tree.  I got some Copics while in Japan so am enjoying playing with those too and the background is done with a tiny cherry blossom stamp that I purchased in Japan too.

I'm Back.............

Had a fantastic holiday, the sakura were magnificent, Lilyan Rei was delightful, I have been a bit down since I got home, I suppose everyone feels that way after a perfect holiday, but mine is sadness at leaving my little granddaughter.  I don't have too long to wait hopefully til they visit Australia, they are hoping to come in July...here's keeping fingers and toes crossed, it will take me a while to get back into craft mode, but have to get the card ready for next weeks lesson, so am hoping to make a start on that tomorrow.  Looking forward to catching up with you all again

Having a whale of a time in Japan

Hey everyone, we are having a terrific time in Japan, we are thoroughly enjoying our beautiful grandaughter.  The weather hasn't been the best, but we are making the most of it, one day last week it snowed!! The cherry blossom or Sakura are just getting to their best and we are hoping to attend many Hanamis or festivals this coming week, the castle in the above photo is Osaka Castle.  We are  going to Kyoto next week to see the Myako-Odori which is a cherry blossom dance performed for foreignors, Geisha girls play traditional customs.  Before this starts we are attending a "tea ceromony" we have reserved seating so will actually be served by Maiko girls...and will recieve a traditional gift.........so looking forward to that, it will be a great experience.
