I am soooooooooo SAD

that my time as a 

'REVOLVING DOOR ARTIST'

 at 

'THE COLOR ROOM '

has come to an end

this week is my last Layout for February

It has been a blast and I have loved every minute .

the girls have made me very welcome, big hugz to everybody.
below is my last RDA Layout .... Palette #99

'DISCOVER LIFE BY THE SEA'

PALETTE #99

I loved this palette, but when I saw the ' caramel' I thought where am I going to add that ???

so I decided to add two caramel  brads .. problem solved !!!!

I find designing a page to a color palette is so fabulous for evolving my creativity

'pushing the boundries..'.

thanks for all the inspiration Lydell and for having me on The color Room xoxo

so pleased you dropped by and thanks for taking the time to leave me some feed back 

you make my day 

love and hugz Heather x 

ROMANCING THE KITCHEN xoxo

I spend a great deal of time in my kitchen ..

We had our kitchen re-modelled 6 years ago and I adore it .

so easy to work in and clean

with stone benches and splashbacks.

I waited a long time for this kitchen and it was worth it !!!!

I thought I would share some shots with you.
