The journey continues with part 2....

So I will continue on with the studio tour. Because I spend 90% of my life in there it has to  be full of all the little knick knacks and treasures that are so dear to me. I have only shown a few of these as many of them are objects that only I would "get".!! lol. Treasures don't need to have cost the earth, they just need to be given with and surrounded by love.

This is one of my faves ...a cardboard chandelier...just frikkin love it


and here's whats hanging off the bottom....a Kelly Rae girlie, carved wooden wings, and a wire angel quote.


Always fresh lilies in my place, even if sometimes I have to buy the frikkin things myself, lol


Piles of books waiting for the swap

spare water pots

That's all for today, still more to come so will continue on tomorrow. I've been asked loads of things about the studio and stuff in it, so if I get the chance I'll do a little question and answer for you... The main thing you have all commented on is the amount of brushes I have ...so here's a little competition for you. On Monday I will count all the brushes I showed you in the piccies yesterday. All those I have displayed in the Ranger craft buckets. To count the lot would take me days, so just those. Leave me a comment with your guestimate and the nearest to it wins. And guess what I'll send you...?? Yup a load of brushes...But don't worry they won't be my old used ones, I will send you brand new ones from Claudine Helmuth's Studio Line, and I may even throw in a Craft Bucket as well.

See you tomorrow

Enjoy xx
