PENGUIN PARADE


Good Afternoon!
Just trying to get back into blogging!  
We've been very lucky, but, it's an horrendous time for our village.
Floods 4 foot high. My hubbies uncle at 78 years old  had to be rescued from his down stairs flat by dingy, and is now living with my MIL for the foreseeable future.  We've just come back from my friends shop in the next village, The water had been up to the windowsills ... We took our  caravan  water containers full of hot water to clean because there's no electricity. Traffic Lights are down.. Streets laden with furniture....It's heartbreaking..The mud and smell it leaves....We've never known or seen anything like it before. 






This little sweetie lives at Bugaboo Stamps and is called Winter Penguin Trio
Coloured with Copics..Lots of Glitter too..Papers/Ribbon from stash.
Memory Box dies used..I made a 'pile' of Snowballs for extras. Sentiment from Lynne over at
 Do It With Digi's many moons ago.
