Today I need to finish making up some care packages to ship to my daughter. Some time ago I bought some wonderful little treats and gifts that I thought she would love, but they haven't yet made it into the mail. That will be rectified later, but first I wanted to make a colourful bookmark to add ... VIEW POST
Brighten Your Day With Pineapple Punch
Today is a day off from working in the pharmacy and I had a very rare lie-in. So consequently I will be playing catch-up for most of the day. It's not all bad though as all my tasks relate to my crafting and Stampin' Up! business. I'm beginning work on a new project collaboration and have a video ... VIEW POST
For The Gardener or Bird Lover

There's something quite special about settling into a cosy chair with a good book and a hot drink. A love of reading is something that I'm happy to say that other family members have ... VIEW POST
Bird Ballad Notebook Minus The Birds

So today I decided to revisit the Bird Ballad suite but focus on one of the pretty floral designs in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. My regular readers will know that I ... VIEW POST
Bird Ballad Meets Vibrant Vases
I absolutely love how Stampin' Up! coordinates its products and makes putting together projects so easy. Most of the time the coordination is obvious like when they create a whole suite of products. Sometimes though the coordination is more subtle and it takes a while for me to catch on. Today I ... VIEW POST
