I'm really pleased with the way this turned out.

I was on the beach with my daughter & our dog

and saw a lovely piece of driftwood.

It almost looks like stone.

It's the perfect base for this little lady.

I tend to find images from old books to cut out.

I'm not very good at downloading & printing out images

but this year,

I've promised myself a new scanner / printer.

My husband gave me a new camera for my birthday

and I can already see the difference it makes.

Hope you like my little lady as much as I do.

I'm off to search for some more suitable pieces of driftwood

and if I find enough,

I just might do a giveaway......
