♥ Magic painting - even more magic than I remember now you can choose your own colours from the 'magic paints' at the top of the page.

♥ Making spoon people. Elizabeth's choice of make.

♥ A new book for me, from Dear photograph. Love this site - always makes me cry though!

♥ Marble painting with food colouring and shaving foam.

♥ And bubble pictures using straws - just a small amount of bubble mixture swallowed!

♥ Playing in the garden. Always good when the weathers nice enough to take some toys outside.

♥ Picking blackberries - Elizabeth telling Archie which ones to pick for her through the webs.

  1. Snap! Much crafting, train sets and hanging out in the garden here too. Love the wooden spoons! I've never tried paper marbling with my two but it looks like a lot of fun. No blackberries yet - will go foraging with the kids tomorrow. x

    1. The paper marbling was great fun and really easy to do too. We have blackberries in the garden, the kids keep appearing with purple all around there faces. xx

    1. It makes you quite inspired to try your own doesn't it. Think I might have to take a few old pics with me when I go back to the I.O.W where me and my family are from and try some. xx

  7. Wow! Magic painting is so more sophisticated nowadays!
    Love your pictures once again. You always seem to have such a nice theme going, colours or pattern. It makes for lovely viewing! Thank you so much for the match box info. Much appreciated. Xx ( when I emailed you it was from your profile page I think, I will send another to see if it works. It was probably just me being thick :)

    1. I know, I was quite impressed with those. Thank you that's really nice. No im sure it's not, I tried emailing myself and got an email back saying it was delayed or something weird! A job for Em to look at me thinks! xx
