We got to visit Lindisfarne (Holy Island), Seahouses, Alnwick and a few other places and it was lovely even the lousy weather on the Saturday didnt spoil it - on the Friday, when we went it was lovely. We stayed at this guest house and it was beautiful - everything was perfect, spotlessly clean, great hearty breakfast would definately recommend it - there was no scrimping on any attention to detail - I can be quite fussy - but this was perfect - cant wait to visit again.
We've also booked a trip to Amsterdam in November - so I've been googling non stop on how we get to our hotel, where is best to visit - sorting tickets for Anne Frank museum - me & tripadvisor are best buddies -lol. If anyone has any recommendations - I am all ears :-).
Right, now I've got that off my chest - I'll show a recent make - I know that Debbie has received it so its safe to blog:
This is a Sassy Cheryl image coloured with promarkers. The paper is from a hobbycraft pad and I have added ribbon, leaves, flowers and sentiment from my stash.
I would like to enter this into:
Sweet Stampin - Autumn
Papertake weekly - anything goes
I love promarkers - colours of autumn.
Aud sentiments - anything goes
Right best get ready for Tom coming in from school. Thanks for looking
