To Doodle or not to Doodle????
No Doodling, just rubons! Here I rubbed a third of the 'Girl Things' rubons onto A5 White Card (folded in halves). I then used some beautiful Smooch colours to colour in the images. This card will be one I am teaching in the Kids workshop NEXT School Holidays (mid December), there will be boy ones too!
Have fun with Smooch! and Rubons!

Wow, what a day! I just want to thank everyone who attended my studio opening on Saturday. Thankyou to those who could only stay a few minutes before they had to go off to work, I really do appreciate your support. Thankyou also for all the lovely flowers, cards and generous gifts, it was very overwhelming! I obviously let the cat out of the bag with regards to colours, alot of the cards and flowers I received matched the decor perfectly!
I also need to thank the people who helped me achieve my DREAM. Firstly, Marks mum and dad who did the electrical work over a few weekends, thankyou guys. Mandy's husband who did the gyprock for us, a bigger job than we expected. Paula, my sister who helped me with the fine details of decorating (the butterflies and quotes look great!) Kay, who did an amazing job making the cupcakes. Kay made 100 of them and believe me there were only a handful left over, they were obviously a HIT Kay!! Thankyou.
My husband Mark, what can I say... without him and his support my DREAM would still be a dream... Thankyou so much sweetheart for all the hours you have put in, in the last 3 - 4 months, every weekend! We are a great team!! (yet again) Also thankyou to my 2 beautiful boys who have been just excited about this project as we have been. They will also be glad that it is completed so they can have daddy back on the weekends!
Thankyou also to all my customers and consultants who always asked how the "studio" was coming along. Lets face it, without you guys I wouldnt need one! I hope it will be a 'place' you can come to and feel at home and inspired!!
Here are some photos taken on the day. Thankyou Kristy for taking some great photos, I really do appreciate it.
And the winner of the raffle is: Sam Gregory, congratulations! I will get your prize to you soon, I know you will love playing with your new goodies!!!!
Hope to see you at one of my workshops soon,
Naomi
