Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Happy Birthday Mr Bessie

If you aren't a member of Docrafts then you probably won't know that my Bessie's husband has quite a Fan club... It's quite a long story but he has alot of ladies wishing to give him a well deserved hug. Sadly for them I am right at the front of the queue when it comes to hugs..... OK OK I placed myself there and there I am going to stay, and he doesn't seem to be complaining LOL. So here is his Birthday card/book, made with my new metal punches and ferro paint and distress stickles and cosmic shimmers and what ever else I threw at it. It does look like stone, hence the words inside.

Just a short post because I am getting ready to drive down tomorrow to give him a proper birthday hug

but I thought I would share a post that his DIL put on Facebook that sums him up just PERFECTLY!

Nicki MacRae Happy birthday to Dad / Pops - one of the kindest, most honest, genuine, warm, friendly, caring, dilligent, clever, organised, level headed, thoughtful men on the planet!! :-D Hip hop hip, hooray!!! xxx

Happy Birthday John xxxxxxx

  7. I have never heard of do-crafts Nick, so I must go and investigate! I still haven't acknowledged your lovely award on my blog yet, but I thought I'd save it for next week as I'm doing a "Receiving adn Giving" post. I love what you have done for John here - it does indeed look like stone - that's very clever you know!!!! I love hugs...especially from my Andy who is big and burly!
