Three Muses Challenge 21 - Long Ago And Far Away

Hi it's me Ann and this week's theme is LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY. I wonder what that will mean to you, will it be a strange and exotic land, a fairy tale, a famous person, part of your family history or something else entirely?

Just in case you need a little inspiration here is my sample, a tale from Mabel's childhood.

And remember at the Three Muses anything goes so whether you stamp, embroider, make it with fabric, paper or clay, paint it or do it digital we can't wait to see what you come up with. Most of all enjoy.

  21. oh my heavens!!! I just realized that I created my piece around the next prompt....I guess that is what happens when you stay up till 3 in the morning....


    Here is my Halloween Hen Party

    p.s. because I made a mistake I would also like to offer someone a free stamp from my new line of stamps...so if you come by via Three Muses....check out my stamp shop...link on the post....and pick out your favorite one...I will do a drawn next week and pick a name to get the stamp of their choice!!!

    See I guess making mistakes can turn out some fun!!!

    Have a wonderful day!!!

  35. Hello Everyone,
    Sorry to be late, and sorry for no comments at this time...I actually finished this piece well before the Wednesday challenge was issued and was to post it last week; but have spent the whole of last week with my husband, family and children ; both of whom were unexpectedly in hospital...both now out of danger and on the road to recovery....I wanted to check in here a brief and bright respite from what's been going on...thanks for enabling me to remain a part of this; something I do so look forward to doing when I can!
    Sincerely,
    Chris
