My First Bestie

Good morning all. Well the sun is shining today thank goodness. I think all the rain we've been missing made it's way to us yesterday, OMG, did it bounce down!!
 
I took my girls out for their tea and we were sat at a lovely table in the Conservatory eating a fab carvery when the roof started leaking, straight down my arm, back and onto my handbag, thank god it missed my tea, I had to shuffle up into another seat so my tea wouldn't get water logged.
We had to wait inside till it eased a little then make a run for it, not easy when you've just had a huge plate of food lol!
 
Should have posted this yesterday but ran out of time. I was asked by the lovely Rina at Fashionista if I would be a GDT.  Thank You hunnie. They have a super challenge this month of
 
'Wings'
 
Their fab sponsor is Sherri Baldy the creator of Besties
 
I've seen these little cuties and have never used one so I was looking forward to choosing one to use and I just couldn't resist her.
 
'Sweet Mary Lou'
 
I haven't used my copics for a while so I felt a bit of a novice when I started colouring in and I had a bit of a gaffe as the ink started to move a little, grrrr. I did try printing onto water colour paper so I could use my distress inks but the ink ran on that too, grrr.
Well if you don't look too close you won't see the mistakes lols!
