Hello friends
Well the sun was shining and my shop sign finally went up!
It went something like this...
Arriving and setting up the ladders...yes that is Bella in the bottom left hand corner - a real family event!
Mitchell making sure he is happy with his ladder.
Carefully carrying out the sign.
At this point Mitchell realised he "doesn't do heights"...that's me up the ladder!
(So that's what I look like from the back?!)
The sign is in place and now for many screws to hold it secure. 
And a shot of the whole shop, it proved impossible to get a photo without a reflection.
So the studio/shop is finally named!
I kept it plain and simple so that it would match any window theme that I went for,
right now the window is in the middle of being changed for Spring.
I'm going shopping for lots of pretty plants and daffodils.
Now for something crafty.
This is a card that recently appeared on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog -
step by step details are here.
It shows how easy it is to use the 3D Foam Squares with your own patterned papers.
Wishing you a wonderful week - temperatures are climbing..looks like it might be a
spot of gardening at some point.
Take care friends.
Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the placing of the sign. Love the card - like that hearts are still in and not just for Valentines.
