Once at home thought I just had to try out some of the techniques in the book. My friend <a href="http://boringhousewifexx.blogspot.com/">Jayne</a> came over and we had such fun getting messy making these ATC! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">The butterfly one is my favourite.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday myself and the boys went to Slimbridge wetlands centre with Windmill hill city farm! We were soaked with rain and sleet before we even got to the farm but once we were on the coach we all warmed up and dried off - but it snowed all the way there and whilst we were there!!! It was COLD!! To be fair though once we were there and the boys were running about it was fine. It was a farm photography trip so the aim was for all the families to take photos. Unfortunately all the batteries in our cameras died quickly but we did get some shots. I have been playing on Picnik this morning editing a few (as I no longer have any editing software :( - I miss my photoshop!!!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The photos are not that great but hey I never claimed to be a photographer!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I spent my time there collaging and playing with drawing mediums - I cant wait to go back. I did an online class with Dina wakely last year and made a fab book I have started to use this as a life drawing journal - I have decided even the mistakes are good as I now know not to try them again!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N561cHZQ9Zw/S3k9oTqdGmI/AAAAAAAAB98/Sa4PhD7aqOc/s1600-h/IMG_0566.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N561cHZQ9Zw/S3k9oTqdGmI/AAAAAAAAB98/Sa4PhD7aqOc/s320/IMG_0566.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel I am changing at the moment and am feeling very experimental with my art supplies. It feels so good!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not worried about getting things right but am enjoying the process. I have never been very good at making things look lik they are meant to but its something I enjoy doing. I tried using charcoal and found that it does nothing for me hence why I did purple people!! lol Colour works so much better for me! I can't wait to go back! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This page isnt finished but am trying out techniques on my drawing - this feels such a positive thing for me at the moment and feel so much happier for it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Itwas a bit cold but thought I dont care this is gonna be fun! Myself and 6 other parents turned up (I was surprised it wasnt more!) Luckily I knew all but 2 of them well so we had a right laugh!<br /></div><div><div>We were called up to the crew and actors which was weird, and were told what we needed to do and where to stand. and it went on allllllll day!<br /></div><div>We were given an hour for lunch so I went round to my mate Trish's house (who too had been there all morning) we warmed up with a coffee and watch the rain start and thought ohhh no! but when we started to go back it eased off to a light drizzle.<br /></div><br /><br /><div>When we got back everyone was kinda hanging around so I thought I would take my chance to get a pic with one of the actors! now I started asking then Trish tanslated my garbled speak to him! he said yes and asked my name, I said Cleo and he introduced himself as Russell I went to shake his hand and my umbrella almost flew towards him! That was it I was all embarassed and bumbling away tring to get my camera out of my bag - and it didnt want to come out! by this point my friends are laughing at me ! but I got my photo! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391030892933167186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N561cHZQ9Zw/StDKCMJwOFI/AAAAAAAAB1g/etP5heYWokQ/s400/Cleo+embarrassed!!_edited-1.jpg" border="0" />He was so nice he even picked up my umbrella for me ! I am sooo embarassed!!!!! one of the parents said I looked really star struck which wasnt it -I just got embarassed! ohhh well I did my bit now I have got to hope I make it into the scene!! hehe</div><br /><div></div><div>I watched the first series and loved it and it was great to see how things are filmed. Everyone was so friendly bringing out umbrellas to us when the rain started and just being so nice! I cant wait til next feb to see it now - whether i am in the shot or not!! I had a really good day! even if I didnt get to meet the vampire charector! (actually that was probably a good thing - I would probably fallen in the mud or something!!) </div><br /><div></div><div>A change - Oh yeah you might notice that in that photo that my hair is dark! - A couple of weeks back I decided to dye it purple - a nice dark purple and well it went bright purple with lilac streaks - hmmm nice I hear you say .... no no no! I dyed it dark fairly quickly and LOOOOVEE it!. My hair has never been this dark but I really do like it!

I will take some extra pics of them today once my batteries have charged (they were pinched for the wii). They are also moving around lots at the moment, they are climbing over eachother, I am going to try and take a movie of them! </p><p align="center">**Exciting news**</p><p align="left">I have finally sorted a Bellaboo crop in Olveston, South Gloucestershire, which is quite close to Bristol too!!
