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......
