My Digi Life

Evening!

Well, I HAVE been busy!! I made these 4 Los with the newest kit from Bits N Bobs at Exquisite Scraps - http://exquisitescraps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1684

I guess the kit wasn't intended first and foremost for photos like these landscapes Antoinette, my eldest, took while she was in France with the school last week, lol, but I thought they looked great with the pics! (thought Antoinette did pretty well with her photography too!!)

The other LO is an older photo of Evie from a couple of years ago. It was when I was taking the Open University Photography Course, and I'd asked her to pose for too many shots in one sitting! This was her reaction, and I actually loved the shot that resulted! The pps and embellishments were perfect for this bit of 'attitude' being shown!!!

I've learned a few techniques like adding a bevel to a flat circle to make a brad, lol, so have tried to use one or two of those this time!!

Family news...today the gals had their private riding lessons - Antoinette went out on a hour's hack and had a great time riding Dublin, who was VERY well behaved on the roads! Evie rode Louis, who was feeling very lazy. It was a struggle to get him to walk, let alone trot, so when Evie asked for trot, and gave him a little flick of the whip at the teacher's instruction, he protested in a big way! First a buck with the back legs, then a little jump with the font legs, then another buck! Evie managed to hang on right until the last buck, but then slipped off the side of him - her first fall!! Thankfully she landed on her bottom - the only bit of her with any padding - and wasn't badly hurt at all. Of course she now hates Louis with a passion, lol, but I'm sure she'll get over it!!! The intention for this lesson was for Evie to practise cantering, as they don't get much of that in a normal group lesson, but of course, after the fall, it wasn't going to happen! The teacher was really good with her and put on a lead rope for 10 mins to get her confidence back, then let her go alone in trot, but that was it. Ah well!

OK, Antoinette has just finished making a chicken korma for us all, so am off to scoff! (And it's a Weightwatchers recipe, so I'm being good!!!) YUM!!
