Hi there Last Friday was my husbands birthday (it was also my birthday – yes we share the same day but different years).

I… Read More: Guy Greetings – Happy Birthday »

Hi there I thought I’d take a break from making my swaps for team training on Saturday and bring you the fourth card in my Eastern Palace series.

Hi there I’ve had a great afternoon crafting. Phil has been out all day and I’ve had the house to myself – which means the dining room and kitchen bench have become a crafting space :).

Hi there I’m not enjoying the change over from Summer to Winter. After getting over my sore throat my body decided it would be good to have a dose of sinus added into the mix!

Hi there When the Occasions Catalogue was first released I totally discounted the ‘That’s the Tag’ bundle on page 23. That was until my downline gave me some sample tags.

Hi there I really like the Special Reason bundle (stamp set and framelits) in the Occasions Catalogue. The images are great and so are the sentiments. Some of the sentiments are ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Congratulations’ and a really cool one ‘There’s no special reason for this card …’ ‘…except to let you know how special you are!’… Read More: There’s no ‘Special Reason’ … »
