Dragonfly: ATC. and Blog Candy!

Sorry! You've guessed, there's no space rocket tonight, but I did print it out, so all I have to do is cut round it, add a few 3D stickers and Bob's your uncle... (who is Bob, doesn't anyone know) but I did finish this ATC. It's taken me ages! The main image was a freebie over on June's lovely Blog a few weeks ago and she had a challenge to alter it in any way. Of course slow silly cloggs here forgot and then couldn't think how to finish it. I wanted a mirror reflection in the centre to look like water, but ended layering silver embossing power and then stamping into it with a dragonfly stamp from Paperartsy. Not quite how I saw it in my head ...but then by head's full of sawdust and strawberries most of the time.

Sadly, I've also got another picture of the wasps nest. When my dad rung me to say he'd be round first thing with his smoke gun to 'see to' the wasps, I actually heard myself trying to put him off! Then I remembered the child I knew who was attached by a whole nest and only last week someone in the next road had to be taken to hospital as they suffered a bad reaction with just one sting. Anyway dad was very determined and as he used to be a bee keeper has a few 'helpful' gadgets. As he approached the hedge armed with his smoke gun and his magic wasp killing puffer, I warned him they were angry and wouldn't take prisoners! He said, 'They wouldn't worry me!' and as I warned him again, the first attack wave flew straight out at him! In all his years (he's 83) he said he'd never known such an angry mob and assured me, they had to go. Anyway enough of wasps...they give me the hebegebies!!! (worse than spiders do!)

~~!!!Blog Candy !!!!~~

After having a bit of a win last week, over on Lisa's lovely blog, I've decided seeing I've been blogging for just about four months now and have reached over 10,000 hits I'm going to give away some Blog Candy in a way of a thank you to all my followers for their lovely comments and support! Lisa has been doing a weekly surprise for her followers and I thought I'd do the same... So, all you have to do to be in with a chance to win some bits and pieces, is to call in and say hi! (which is what you've all been doing anyway!) At the end of each week ((Saturday/Sunday)) till the end of September, (or before we nip off to the States to see our new grandson!!) someone on the followers list will win a little prize. Stamped images, brads, glitter, flowers, ribbons, papers...whatever I can find! I'll post a picture later...and put a link on my side bar so you'll know what's going on!
