Sunday visit

We had a lovely visit with Barbara W. today. Talked lots of minis and books. There were some things I wanted to give her but my workroom is such a mess that I couldn't find some of them. Not to mention that my desk is piled a mile (well, really about 6") with paper. Must tackle this and get it cleaned up so I know where things are.

After we left Barbara, we headed over to Dollarama where I found a few interesting things.

I had seen these stone wall panels at Dollarama before and didn't buy them but did buy two today (should have bought 6). Think I want to use them to make the walls of my "secret garden". It's coming together in my mind and just the size of the trees I have in mind means it's going to be very big! At this point, I'm thinking I will just do two of the four walls and make it two tiles by one tile.
Better make my mind up soon before these aren't available anymore.

 I am very excited about this purchase. There is a total of 21 metallic tiles each of which is 9/16" x 3 13/16". I'm visualizing a metallic wall hanging/sculpture. Not the one from the hotel but something quite impressive.

When we were at Dollarama last week picking up a few things for STARFest, I found three sets of these alcohol ink pens in blues, greens and greys. Todays I got the shades of reds.

I have three more things to cross off my to-do list from Friday and hope I'll get at least two of them done tonight.
