Giveaway winner and a taste of Tuscany

Hello friends.  I am back not only with my giveaway winner but also to share some photos of our holiday.  Yes we managed to escape to Italy for a week and got home on Monday. It was such a wonderful week and where we stayed in the middle of a wine estate in Tuscany meant there was no need to socially distance as there was no one around for miles!

As the week progressed it got hotter and hotter so the pool was bliss. 

The grounds provided perfect crafting inspiration.

The only sounds were the bees buzzing and the chirrup of the crickets. 

So back to my winner. All the names and multiples were put into a hat and my Hb pulled out..

drum roll....

I was delighted to see Vivienne's name as she has been a rock and total supporter of my blog since I started writing it 10 years ago. Even though she no longer blogs she still comments on all my blog posts, even if I have 2 in a day at the beginning of the month. Thanks V you really are a deserving winner. I will get your prize posted by the end of the week. 

My creative project today is one of the holiday makes I made in Tuscany. There were so many delightful spots to craft from like the one below.  

While away I decided to make a series of ATCs which I may make a little booklet for when I get the chance. 

You can follow me on Instagram; here or search for me as @jane.tyrrell . Those of you who do will have seen them but this is my challenge entry for today.

All the products are Tim Holtz.

Bye for now,
