a new house

here is my entry for the Dans Ma Maison blog this week, the theme is lace so I have made my house into a small and exclusive shoppe for lingerie!  I wanted to have a different look from my other houses, so no paint or H20s in this one, just some versacolor ink to give a shabby-chic look and stickles to add bling to the undies plus, of course, the obligatory lace!


The images were just gently coloured with prisma pencils.


I want to thankyou all for the good wishes for my hubby, he is going into the UCT hospital in Cape Town for surgery on Monday, so positive thoughts will be very welcome, thanks
