I had a go a couple of years ago but didn' t scuff the surface so couldn' t get any pens to grab the surface! Will have another go, and this time I will use my lovely Spectrum Noir pencils : ) I hope Grace is well, and Mark too of course. Take care xMrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-11264518362611379162015-08-23T18:59:28.784+01:002015-08-23T18:59:28.784+01:00Wonderful Barbara!

I didn't realise that you could add extra colour once it is shrunk so thanks for that.

I had not thought of that but it is so logical and such a useful thing to do. Would you find it less painful to do as much of your work as possible on an adjustable slope, something like a table top easel? xxxx MaggieMaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-34650488128930623882015-08-23T12:19:56.272+01:002015-08-23T12:19:56.272+01:00Hi Barbara

It was a lovely afternoon but so hot and just as the barbecue had got nice and ready to cook the heavens opened. Terrific thunderstorm and the charcoal was extinguished so we had a glass of wine and started again. I forgot I have some shrink plastic and what fun it is. I will try colouring with the pencils. I have a friend who is a dentist and she has problems with her neck ( a type of RSI ) She recommends Bio freeze-a roll on gel, and sleeping with as flat a pillow you feel <br />comfortable with. Looking forward to Thursday.<br />Hugs from ChrisChris Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877620818923735944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-76143428938326433952015-08-23T11:23:08.889+01:002015-08-23T11:23:08.889+01:00Hi Donna dean and Barbara what a funny combination...Hi Donna dean and Barbara what a funny combination that you tube was brilliant always makes me laugh xxxsheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224468884045534214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-74169895077637216772015-08-23T11:20:29.374+01:002015-08-23T11:20:29.374+01:00Hi Brenda thinking of you owlet hugs xxxHi Brenda thinking of you owlet hugs xxxsheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224468884045534214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-32209476929737459832015-08-23T11:08:16.961+01:002015-08-23T11:08:16.961+01:00Many thanks for teaching me something new.

See you're keeping night owl hours, hope you managed to get some sleep. Sounds like you have spent some fruitful time thinking about what happened, letting go of the hurt and forgiving is the first step to moving on. The anger and hurt can be destructive to you and we don't want that. Keep focusing on your good moments, we'll be here for you to take some of the load. Keep well and come talk to us maybe we can help.

Love the gelli plate background, just perfect, thanks for sharing. Never tried shrink plastic, maybe because it feels like a toy - as kids my brother and I had to take turns in getting the free one from the cereal packets!!! Hope you had special quality phone time with Grace, and you went to bed feeling good inside. My good moment today was Mo Farah winning the 10k. Love Brenda xx<br /><br />I think I've worked out what happened and why with Nicola's part from Thursday. You can't blame someone for deciding to do totally the wrong thing, we all do at times, and for being too focussed on following that to see and hear what it was doing to me. I've sent her a text saying I need her to stop feeling bad about it, I forgive her, but she won't get it until she's back from her annual leave. Before going off she said she didn't know how to help me with this and I already knew she can't (can't be impartial) with the other part.<br /><br />Thank you for all the messages left for me yesterday and this evening, love Brenda xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-52356158086817325322015-08-22T23:16:30.685+01:002015-08-22T23:16:30.685+01:00Hi Brenda sending you a hug and a smile, I hope th...Hi Brenda sending you a hug and a smile, I hope the weather has been kind to you today <br />Love Diane xxxDiane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-51630714419223892622015-08-22T23:14:33.188+01:002015-08-22T23:14:33.188+01:00Hi Barbara

They look fab on the geli background. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you had a lovely long chat with Grace, is she due a visit home again soon, she must have been worried about Dave too and probably wanted to be by your side but like any mum you would have told her not to worry you would be fine. Now did you put ice on your neck? Much better for you than heat as my chiropractor says! If there's any left add it to your drink!
