I tried to upload this photo yesterday and, as my baby pink notebook was running Ubuntu it just wasn't playing ball :( That's why I'm a day late as have defaulted back to MS Windows. And now we have success!
This is what I'm currently looking at - Estepona Marina in Southern Spain. Mind you, as threatened I've been doing some watercolouring late this afternoon so crafting isn't totally on a back burner!
I had a lovely email from Cardarian confirming that my PiF has arrived so now I can post some photos of that too - they are front, back,top and inside of a little treasure chest style box I made:
Of course it's pink - what else would anyone expect of me. I painted it with umpteen coats of acrylic paint, added peeloffs to spell out WOYWW and coated it all with some matt varnish before adding pink organza ribbon with a lovely little pearl ribbon slider sent to me a while back by Dee, rows of pearls (thankfully all on strips) and the finishing touch on the lid was a selection of rmore pink ribbon, roses, leaves and such (from Wild Orchid crafts) which had been sprayed with Glimmer Mist. To add some more fun I enclosed a couple of rose scented votive candles. It's great to know that Dolores likes it :)
Right, that's my late WOYWW - if you're late looking do be sure to hop over to Julia's to join in the fun and frolics! I'm off to have a glass of vino and to put more cream on some mossie bites - the little perishers love me and one was hiding waiting for me last night!

What a lovely box you created there, and so much work in it. It is good to know you are still managing to craft even on holiday. Have a lovely time and come back refreshed and raring to go.
