More digging,chopping,shredding,compacting and some card making!

I promised to keep you informed about the build so here goes....
We all have helped even the kids
although I have to say my brother Angus
has done the majority of the very hard work.

We have pruned trees and chopped a few down that
badly needed removing for safety.
Hired a chipper - that was fun if noisy!
Filled a skip - very easily.....

Dug out loads of soil, layed hardcore and concrete blocks,
hired a compactor (that was also very noisy!)
so it's all very level and well drained.
 Now its ready to start the build.....
the kit is due to arrive Friday-
please cross fingers for good weather to continue.


Inbetween I have still been making cards.


I love this Tiddly Inks image - Cast a spell!
coloured with Promarkers,
Basic Grey Kioshi papers,
fabric flowers with fancy brad centres,
flourishes cut on Pazzles and sprayed with Cosmic shimmers
and sakura sentiment doodled.
