White swap

A group shot

The card

The mini Album. it was to big for my light box LOL
I just realised, I forgot to take a pic of it closed...

A few weeks ego I participated in a white swap that was part of "Shavuot" which is a Jewish holiday. Its the harvest holiday, and we celebrate it by eating allot of dairy products and wearing white cloths.

There is allot more to the holiday, but I wont go in to that :-)

So, my white swap, still did not reach its destination (It might be the royal mail that is taking its time).

The mini album was ALLOT of work, and if i ever decide to make another one it will be for myself, or I might have a SU! class tutorial.
I do love it though! LOL

Sorry about the quality of the photos..

Thanks for stopping by!

The Honest Scrap Blog Award

I know I have been MIA for a while...

We are going through some difficult times with my parents in law. I wont be going into any details,but it has been preventing me from blogging and not allot of time to do anything arty lately.

So I do apologise and I promise that I will sart posting again as soon as I am able to.

Nina, has given me a brilliant award (isn't this a great place- the Internet? I am so happy I found Nina`s blog, she is sooo talented and I love being inspired by her work!) So thanks Nina for the award, and hurry up with those stamps, I cant wait! LOL

a) Thank the person who gave it to you.

b) List 10 honest things about yourself.

c) Pass the award on to 7 people.

1. I met my hubby online eight and a half years ego, me from Israel he from England, we chatted for three months online and on the phone, then I came here and we got married after five days of meeting each other.

2. I was a Sergeant in the IDF (Israeli defence force), but I did run home during one of the courses I was teaching.
