Seeing Books in a new light

 

 

 

Sorry not been around for a while,  being having trouble with blogger, 

 It wasn't let me up load any photos !!

 

 I have found something new.

 

I will never look at a hard back book the same way again!!

 

Both of these are ones I designed and made myself.

 

 

This one is sitting in the local RSPCA shop   (South St. Exeter)

 

 



And this is one I made for a my old slimming world group

Hello I am back ...............

Sorry i haven't been around for  while i had a bit of a month,  first Dad went into hospital and i had to go and feed his cat everyday & also visit him which was taking up an extra hour or so a day..  

Then i managed to crash and write off my car,  

so having to rely on public transport meant i was leaving home at 7 and get home at nearly 8...
and time i had done tea etc,  i was too tired to do much else !!  

But all seems back to normal,  Dad is back home 

and i have a new car...   :-)

Well must start on and catch up on some DT postings
