I think I have finally finished organising my parents surprise 60th wedding anniversay party, so I should have more time to enter some of the wonderful challenges.Well that's it from me we are just off to the fair it comes to our nearest town once a year so I'm going to see if I can recapture some of my youth plus it's a chance to see people that maybe I haven't caught up with since last year. enjoy the rest of the evening.

Stamp Something Challenge!!

Hi everyone, I know we are heading into autumn but it has been a lovely sunny day here so the card I have made for the "stamp something challenge" is summery.This is my favourite stamp at the moment!! Jack my dog is well and truly covered in glitter because as i glittered the bubbles and water on the card the door bell rung it made me jump and i knocked the glitter pot all over him as he was laid down the side of my craft table, I tried to get a photo but he wasn't having any of it he ran off in disgust, well that's it from me I'm off to make a spag bol have a good evening.
