Evening everyone. Just posting that I'm going to drop out of the challenge for a while due to personal reasons. Hope to rejoin later in the year.

You take care kitchenbunny. Nice to have met you and see you later or whenever you want. Look after yourself and if you're stuck with anything give us a shout

Been to art class today and out for a meal very nice.

But fat class tomorrow so :-/

Take care kitchen bunny.

I have just started a drawing of my friend's little ones for her birthday.

And the "in terrible condition" book that I was intending to butcher for a clutch bag arrived and it is beautiful and in great condition with lovely illustrations so that's being kept and I am back on the hunt for a beat up book!

I am still looking for books too Echo, thinking may be boot fair might a good idea, just the getting OH to take me that will be the biggest problem as he hates going out on a Sunday morning.

EchoDelta

Boot sale is a great idea, but am also pretty rubbish at getting out on a Sunday morning! Maybe charity shop, need to have a good rummage!

Echo I love the drawing, ty for sharing. I'm sat in hospital bored. OH got something stuck in his ear. You think he was a 2 year old... Last time he went to docs or hospital was 31 years ago for himself. They took ages to find his records lol. I'm there every week so he knows where to go...
