Trio of Snippets

I have lost one of my little budgies in the last week, the cheeky boy had been sneaking out of his cage and flopped on the floor, 10 mins later he had passed, I then had to find an avian vet for my other little girl who can also open her cage doors, she has some form of cancer and will shortly pass... not a good week....

Thank you for looking in...

Have a wonderful week...

Dry Embossed highlights

 Hello again,

Our weather has settled back down to our usual summer temperatures here, warm enough for us, as we get few extremely hot days, a visitor once asked us to put the air-con on, we may get 10-15 of the really hot days where I live so we and most homes in our region don't own air-conditioners... 

We have had a family of King Parrot's coming to visit, the male will eat from my hand... I will try to take a photo the next time they stop by...

I am joining in with the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven Cardmakers, this month the technique is Dry Embossed Highlights over ink blending.
