Our little dog (Maltese cross rescue puppy) had his annual vaccination yesterday and has had a very bad reaction. He won't eat, drink or walk. The vet says we must just wait and see how he goes. If he isn't better by tomorrow, he'll have to go on a drip. I'm sure all dog owners will understand how worried we are.<br />

Our king parrots have been visiting a lot lately. I don't really approve of feeding wild animals, but these birds are very tame and very insistent. This is the male. I'm always surprised how little he weighs.<br />

I think I'm too fussy when it comes to straight lines and perfect squares or whatever. And I can never find exactly the right colour paper or inkpad to match what I'm doing. I keep reminding myself that the people who make Persian rugs never make a perfect rug. They always make sure they include a tiny flaw, because only God makes perfect things.<br />

So I've had a quick go - it's a great layout with lots of possibilities. I also thought butterflies or dragonflies could be fun. I'd like to make another card tomorrow if I get the chance.<br />

I took me ages to make. I had to do it in five minute grabs between other commitments. I kept changing my mind. My cards rarely end up the way I plan at the beginning. Often I start with one colour scheme and finish with a completely different one. In the process my desk becomes covered with piles of paper, stamps, ink pads, cuttlebug folders, spellbinder dies and various tools. In fact I'd better have a big cleanup now before the mob arrives!Lydiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844414343474967526noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339809897229702667.post-57463690401390151352010-10-26T16:49:00.000+11:002010-10-26T16:49:51.757+11:00FTL113I had a go at Clean and Simple layout challenge 113.

But never too busy to have a go at a card challenge. I'm not very happy with my effort at Clean and Simple FTL 108. Since I scanned it I've added glossy accents to the flower which is definitely an improvement. I notice other people take a photo of their card rather than scan it, so I'm going to have to find a place with a plain background and see how I go. <br />
