These are the types of stamps we will be carving.
These are typical stencils.
And these are the types of masks we will create.
I've been busy assembling more journals, here's another one I've just added to my Etsy store.
The cover.
These are all typical pages in the journal, you can write or draw in it, use it for photos or a diary, for poetry or affirmations, whatever takes your fancy.
I'd also like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your birthday wishes and for your concerns over my father, again I haven't had time to thank you all personally but your comments are so very much appreciated. My dad is still in hospital and will be there for quite a few weeks. They are hoping to rehabilitate him so that he can still live at home as long as he accepts outside help. He's doing quite well considering his age.
As a thank you for all of your kind comments and for taking the time to visit my blog I'm having a give away. The package consists of some of my decorated papers, fabrics, buttons and beads, prints of my art and other odds and ends. To enter the draw just leave me a comment and I will draw a name out of the hat next week.
The giveaway.

Its nice to hear your father is doing well. I love your journals. They are so full of color and whimsy. I wish I lived closer so I could attend your stamp workshop, it sounds like a great time. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a lovely giveaway!
I echo Heather...I wish I lived closer so I could attend your STAMP class...I love cutting shapes and your material looks fascinating.
Put me down for the giveaway...I'm feeling especially lucky! HA
I too would love to go to this workshop -I've wanted to try making stamps for a while now...
Beautiful giveaway!!

love the freedom in your work. Since I can't cross the ocean to attend your class, please throw my name in the hat for your give away. Kathy Kenney
Love the freedom in your work! Since I can't cross the ocean to join your class, please toss my name in your hat for the giveaway. Thanks for sharing,

Oh dear, I wasn't trying to beat the odds, just having a problem with google!
Your work is so lovely! Any chance of visiting the US for a workshop? I'd come in a heartbeat. Please include me in your giveaway. Best wishes for your father, by the way... I know how hard it is for everyone as your parents age.
Glad your father is doing better...hope everything will go well for him.
Thanks for the opportunity to win the giveaway, and a belated "happy birthday." Hope you and your new machine are getting on well :-)
I wish I wish I lived closer! These look positively scrumptious, as always. Glad to hear things are starting to look a bit brighter for you all.
Your Journals just keep getting more and more beautiful!!! you know that I would do just about anything to be a your next class- except swim perhps!!!:)
So glad that your Dad has stabilized and that you are content with his care- this is all so hard!!!!
Love the new doorway stamp- Beautiful!!!!
I'm another Heather and love your stamps, stencils and masks. Your journals just keep getting lovelier - each one is more stunning than the one before. Glad your Dad is doing OK - at least you can relax while he is in hospital and getting round the clock care. Do hope he will co-operate with the care arrangements when he comes home - Dads can be too independent! Your giveaway goodies look gorgeous and I'd love to take part.
I think there's a consensus here that you live too far away from us! I wish I could attend any workshop you do! lol...
Please toss me in the hat!
Thank you!

Your journals are scrumptious and so inspiring. I would LOVE to be the lucky winner of your generous gift. I would also love to be able to attend one of your classes, not impossible as I live north of Sydney.
I love your journal. Thank you so much for this giveaway.
Wonderful, as usual & I would be there but for being as far away as everybody else on this page! (maybe a little tutorial?!)I was going to ask what sewing machine you use - I need to update, but you answered already - a belated happy birthday to you & you lucky thing!
Hoping your dad keeps getting better.
Would love to be in the give away.
Would also love to do the workshop but wont be in Melbourne then, unfortunately.
Glad to hear your father is getting bettr.
Visiting your blog is always a pleasure and the chance for the giveaway is amazing! Please count me in.
That's great news about your dad. It's hard on all of us to accept change, but it seems harder on the elderly.
Sadly, I can't get to this workshop either :( I have my fingers crossed for the next one.
I also have my fingers crossed for this delicious giveaway. Lots of handy 'Ro' things would be wonderful!
Hi Ro, Good to hear that your dad's wishes, to be at home, have reached a compromise and he will accept home help. Your give away is fabulous.
Glad that your Dad is on the mend Ro and I hope it continues for him.
Dad's can be a bit contankerous when they think that their independence is being taken away from them but hopefully he will settle into it when it happens.
I agree with the others-I would love to do one of your workshops if only.....
I would like to be in your giveaway as well----Pleeasse----
You work is amazing. I hope you consider some form of teaching for those of us who are to far away to take a class. Glad to hear your father is doing well. Thanks for the chance to win. Rochelle
