The photo below is of some of the wonderful gifts I received from an art group get together, which was over a week ago now. Patsy, Dot, Julia and I met at Jacky's farm and had a wonderful lunch and get together. The beautiful beaded piece was from Dot using some of her lovely hand made felt.
We had a holiday today, Monday, to celebrate the Queen's birthday. I still haven't worked out why we have the holiday in June when her birthday is in April. I'm not complaining though, it gave me chance to decorate some more papers and add to my Etsy store.
This photo shows my area where I work to decorate the papers, it's not in my studio. I use the huge table I have for my workshops, it makes life so much easier.
These are some of the papers that go into my paper packs.
This is a laser print of one of my collages that has been scanned into photoshop and then I've changed the colour and added filters to it. This sheet comes in the pack too.
I've also added a small hand made journal, using my decorated papers, to my store. This has decorated pages and some original collages as well as fabric tags.
Finally I've added some more hand carved stamps.
I'd also like to thank Laura for giving me 'The Lovely Blog' award. Thanks so much Laura, it's much appreciated.

Gorgeous, gorgeous papers and I love the little houses stamp. I wouldn't want to use the papers - just sit and look at them, or put them into a book and enjoy turning the pages.
I never know exactly what to say when I visit a new blog - but hate to leave without at least saying Hi - so "Hi" xx
You are one busy artist...and organized too! I love your stamps!
your papers are gorgeous as always, One day I'll get to a workshop of yours
Beautiful,rich designs on your hand printed papers.x

That yellow paper especially is exquisite and I love the whimsical houses. Lots of goodies here!
Ro, you always make me want to start carving. I've "lost" my carving tools again, however. I think I do it on purpose. I've bought two sets now because I couldn't find what I needed. Well, speaking of them, I'll go look again one last time and then maybe I'll just use kitchen steak knives and see how that works. Best to you! Love your papers and carved stamps. Jeanne
Breath deeply Ro.
I am almost catching up too - but the rollercoaster never seems to slow down fast enough. everything looks grand as always.
Beautiful work. Your papers are just gorgeous! such colours and textures, and I love those stamps!
Thankyou for the lovely comment you left on my blog too ;0
Fantasmagoria abounds when I visit here, Ro! The stamps are really the best, too. Loving the colours and your style.
We have the same thing here with Presidents' Day. Washington and Lincoln both had birthdays in February but now the gummint (government) has combined them for "convenience".
Hope you have a great rest of week.

Love your work here. Loved the felted piece your friend did too. What are you carving your stamps from? I have done some using erasers and some other eraser like material. I have a house stamp that almost looks just like yours. Fun!!! I love all your printed/stamped papers too. Great stuff.
thanks for coming to my blog today. We hadn't visited in a while. Nice.
Wow! Ro! Your blog is fabulous as well as your work. You are truly the Renaissance woman. And these papers are gorgeous.
I definitely be stopping by often to see what you have been up to.
Stunning goodies, your entries always brighten my day!
Well, my fellow Yoda appreciator (thank you for the comment on my cloud post!), what a delight to find you and your exquisite work! I am blown away! Wow, wow, wow! I am an instant fan and going to link you right now so I can keep coming back to get to know you and your work. Did I say wow? WOW!

Oh what wonderful coloured eye candy!
I love your hand carved stamps... just gorgeous!
These papers are gorgeous!! I just love them all.
Apparently the Queen having two birthdays dates back to the time when, if monarchs were born in winter, the weather was deemed unsuitable for outdoor events. Quite interesting really!! Especially since it can be horrid weather in June here in the UK.
Simply beautiful the colours and shapes are truely inspiring. Thansk for sharing your creativity.
Love this posting, the papers are wonderful!
Wonderful stamps! I must try this myself! :)
Love your new stamps...I'm sure they'll sell quickly!
