... today. Youngest grandchildren's school Christmas concert. First year that 2 have been in the same production - and the last as there will only be the youngest left at this school next year. It was a singing concert, rather than an acted performance. Youngest managed to sing a bit and that's a novelty as he normally doesn't sing, or take part, much at all *lol!* Photos taken, to be reviewed, but not holding breath that they're any good. Light was bad for photos and they were too far away really. We'll see.
Holiday to Norfolk in October. Photos edited, rubbish ones deleted, suspect ones kept along with the good. A photo book is going to be done! A lovely week.
We spent our anniversary afternoon on a Broads Tour. After that there was a decidedly animal theme to the week. We visited Africa Alive safari park, just outside Lowestoft. A change of continent and we went to Thrigby Hall Animal Park ... Asian animals. We had a day in Great Yarmouth. Totally dead and not impressed but while there we went to the Sealife Centre and then had a stroll around Merrivale Model Village. That was a quaint, old fashioned attraction but pretty good. Weather was very changeable, sunny, warm and shirt sleeve order one day to wet, miserable and wintry cold another. Photos? When the photo book is done *grin* .... except -
- 2016 finishes with 3 'super moons' - one in October, the best in November (the closest it's been to earth in many a year) and the last in December. The October one was the night of our anniversary. I played with the OH's camera. October 2016's Hunter super moon .....

In November I did quite a number of workshops.
The weekend before a "very special weekend" there was another Christmas card workshop with Helen of Crafty Bunnies. Cally and I made a day of it and visited Hobbycraft before lunch and then, after lunch, on to Helen's. A lovely day and not a bad selection of cards made *grin*
The day before the "very special weekend" I did Linda's last workshop of the year. I think what we did that day has to be my most favourite card of the year. An 8x8 card, the snowman is a retired (I think 'cos can't find it anywhere) Penny Black, coloured with Promarkers/copics (can't remember now) after he'd been masked and the background put in. The sky was done with distress inks and ink duster brushes. Love the soft effect these brushes give, and with no risk of those lines that you can get with the blender foam. Finished with fluffy stuff and glitter glue for the berries I love, love, love this card! It's stunning and the photos just don't do it any justice at all. I'm planning on finding a nice frame ...
