Fitness fanatic

As I've mentioned before I'm never going to be Mrs Fit but now that the kids are back at school and the sun is still shining I've decided to get out and about every morning. I can't run to save myself and those superfit walkers with their sticks just plain scare me, so I've bought myself a decent pair of walking shoes and I'm off. In an attempt to keep myself inspired I've decided to keep a journal, another thing that I'm not particularly good at. I started by stamping the compass upside down which probably doesn't bode well for my walking future, but we'll see...

Fab legs belonging to a minor UK celeb, darn... actually to be honest it's the shoes, I want the shoes...

On my second walk I discovered a friend of mine deep in conversation with one of the local farmers about how to make wild berry liquor, my friend reckoned he was out for a run (yeah right!) but it did mean I didn't feel quite so bad about taking a short break to listen in! See I knew there was a reason I started walking, all I need now is a large jar, some gin and start gathering, it should be ready by Christmas!

Just to answer a couple of comments on the wax post, after a suggestion from Patty http://bitze.wordpress.com/ I tried inking the stamp with Versamark to prevent it from sticking before using it in the wax. I also chose a very simple stamp as the finer stamps just have too much detail. When the image is dry, paint it with dilute Gesso which gives it a good base for paint, glitter or other decoration afterwards.
