The grey in the middle...

Hello dear bloggers, just a quick note to show you what I have been up to for the Black with Two DT.  This fortnights challenge is "black and white with stripes".  Hmmmmm black and white with stripes, sounds plain but you should see what the awesome DT has come up with: and here is mine.

I must say I am really happy with how the stamping technique turned out.  I have it hanging on the wall because the effect is best when looked at from a distance.  To be completely biased, how could I not love that layout when my beautiful princess is looking out at me.  There is still time for you to enter for the prize pack for this challenge so hop on over get some ideas and get striping!!

I am going to Perth tomorrow and will be going to a retreat in the south-west where we are being tutored by the most talented Nina Bagley!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is what I have been needing for the longest time.  Time for myself to focus, inspiration and nurturing from someone who has beauty emanating from all she does.  After that I will be flying to Camp Mojo with my beautiful soul sisters Jenny Burns and Mel Connell to meet up with all the lovely ladies from around the country to share laughs and layouts and have an experience that I am sure will help to shape the person I am from here.  And a big thanks to Anne-Marie Cox, one of the most fantastic ladies you will ever have the blessing to know for building the excitement and keeping us all focused on the end task: PPPPPAAAAAARRRRRTTTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What this all means however is that I will not be around for a while as we will be away from home till the first week of August and while I thought I would endeavour to share along the way, I think I will take this opportunity to put myself in voluntary black out so as to fully commit myself to the goings on around me.  Thank you all for your understanding and support!
While I'm gone:

Take care of each other,
see you soon!
