Great to be back with you. I'm feeling a lot better - thanks to all of you who sent me kind messages.
My Australia shaped tag was cut on my craft robo and I decorated it in aboriginal style with Promarkers. I used to love doing this style of art with the children when I was teaching - they used to go through tons of ear buds to make the dots with paint!! I find the meaning of the symbols used quite fascinating. I also cut the kangaroos and the lizard/gecko (?) on the robo, then added some twine for the tie. Can't wait to see what you've all done.
A bientot
