This little munchkin is growing way to quickly. She's taken another stretch and thinning out. Looking more like a little girl than a toddler.
Getting very independent.
And very adventurous.
It's been a very busy April here. Easter's been and if it wasn't for Little Miss Sunshine in the house, the fact that the Easter Bunny had visited would have been met with very little excitement. Everybody's eggs got collected by Cadence so she thought they were all just for her. She's still only 2 1/2 so the fact that some of the chocolate is disappearing and not been eaten by her is working really well. Good luck with that sort of thing next year ;)
Creatively this month I've been able to get some decent play time and work time.
Creative work wise, Dusty Attic had their very first Creative Retreat. It all came together in quite a hurry as the venue had a cancellation and Dusty grabbed it. I met some wonderful girls and had a ball. I taught two classes over the weekend, which were a big hit. Here's some fun photos from the weekend, we had a blast, the classes went excellently and the photo props were a huge hit.

As you can tell from Erin's wedding photos, even though she worn a traditional white dress, she added her personality to every other bit of her outfit, ceremony and reception. The wedding dress needed that little extra and luckily for Erin her Mum (me!)is a bit handy when it comes to creative stuff. It certainly was a labour of love when it came to finishing the dress off. Every bit of beading was hand sewn with love on that dress, into the wee hours of the morning.
Something a bit softer.

I'm beginning to love challenge sites and blogs and CSI is one of my favourites at the moment.
I used Case File No.115, its Evidence and Testimony, from CSI HERE to create this Layout.
