Happy Sunday everyone! It’s my birthday today and it promises to be a good one. I plan to spend it playing in my craft room while listening to my favourite music. Meanwhile hubby will spoil me by making dinner, and hopefully loading up the dishwasher. To celebrate making it through another year I’m going to send everyone who orders through my online store today a special gift. Perhaps I can tempt you with this simple Sunday project; a panel for a brown bag created using the Cottage Rose Stamp ... VIEW POST
Gray For Elegance

Cottage Rose Got Inky
Well I had a busy morning yesterday with household chores punctuated by phone calls and Zoom meetings. However the timings worked out exactly as I’d hoped. Within minutes of finishing my final Zoom call I was greeted by Tim the delivery driver carrying my latest order from Stampin’ Up!
