3 generation play day

It is not often I get to craft with my daughter except during school holidays when she is not working. Yesterday she and my granddaughter came to play in my new "Den".

We had a lovely afternoon, even if they did make off with a lot of my stash!!!!!  (as you will see from the piccies!)

I showed them my attempts at altered art bookmarks after I watched a demo by Andy Skinner at the Craft Barn the other week. Naturally they wanted to have a go; and as my daughter said "it was a tad out of our comfort zone".

Anyway here are some photos of our "play".

Ellie's teddybear key ring

an old painted serviette ring, which has been revamped by Dawn - I got to paint the leaf!
(have got 5 more to makeover)

and finally, my effort - I didn't have anything to "alter" so finished painting this tissue box!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you enjoyed the photos of our play day.
