Currumbin Beach

here's a LO I've just completed for TWO challenges...1 challenge required the quote "do what makes you happy" + at least 2 circles...I've based the LO on the sketch on the left; I've used: C/S: Bazzil basics; pps, quotes and stickers: Rusty Pickle; mulberry roses, Luster Rub-ons, metal circles from stash, double sided tape and magic mount. The photo of DH and I on Currumbin Beach, Gold Coast, at the sculpture festival last year…’creations heart’ was made from recycled materials and biodegradable plant fibre. Thanks for looking xxx

apt for today....

It is only when we are very happy, that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys." - Baroness Emmuska Orczy, The Scarlet Pimpernel
