I have been away for so long I don't even know where to start. Happy Halloween! The big pumkin was my last entry for the Floral Art Club competition and 'it has been without precedent that a new member has won the cup with the highest points this year, as she has been with us for only a short time' this was the introduction before Laura the Club's Secretary made the announcement that I had won. Even when my name was mentioned, I had to have a little nudge from one of the ladies to react to my surprising win. It was a real surprise to me since some of the ladies have been in this club for 40 years and I'm a new commer with no experience whatsoever. Well, this means if everything else fails in my life, at least I have a future with a flower shop! but luckily that is not the case, as I also have in sight an art show which will be on the 11th of November so I have the pictures framed and ready for the show. I only need to do some cards and am ready to fly! fingers crossed, things will go well.
