I've been away and have photos and some news

I've been away with the Hubster, visiting our family in Crete.  Anyone who is thinking of going on holiday to one of the Greek Islands this summer should not be put off by the media scaremongering.  The Greek people are just as lovely as before the Euro crisis, the food is just as tasty, the scenery is just as beautiful and goodness me they need their tourism business.  These are our wonderful hosts:

And this is Nana sharing a special moment. (Streuth - Nana hasn't any makeup on!) and the little one in the paddling pool with Grandpa (I have saved you from photos of Grandpa in his swim shorts!).

I think he might want to be a DJ when he grows up. He is still only 2 so things could change

And lastly, for those of you who saw Tyranasaurus Frog on my recent post here, I also had a visit from a much smaller specimen whom I thought would make a very pretty brooch. He is real-size in my hand below but when I tried him on as jewellery, I used Photoshop to magnify him in situ on my chest.  (I also took the liberty of smoothing out my scraggy neck and whitening my teeth!!!!).  He was later returned safely to the garden.

No card today

 - but I do have a little news... 

You will be seeing more cards from me going forward because I have the great honour to have been chosen for the Sketch Saturday DT from the middle of this month. 

Yippee!
