And after a quiet-ish week or so, it's a double-hopping day today at Words and Pictures. Here's the first leap for you to take... I'm over at the Calico Craft Parts blog with a crackly ATC celebrating the beauty of trees.
It would be great if you have time to hop over and take a look. I'm still playing with my new fancy for purple - inspired by Wilted Violet - but this time using DecoArt paints rather than Distress Inks.
I'll be back this evening with another offering, so I'll hope to see you again soon either here or elsewhere in Craftyblogland!
Oh to be free of myself,
With nothing left to remember,
To have my heart as bare
As a tree in December;
Resting, as a tree rests
After its leaves are gone,
Waiting no more for a rain at night
Nor for the red at dawn.
From The Tree by Sara Teasdale
