One card theme I don't visit a great deal is babies, and even less frequently, pregnancy. I found that I didn't have sentiments that I liked, so I was excited to see the One Happy Family Stamp Set in the 2021/22 Annual Catalogue. "You made a little human!" is probably one of my favourite sentiments, but "the happiest reason for feeling rotten" also caught my eye. So when I was working through my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon I was determined to use the One Happy Family Stamp Set. This ... VIEW POST
Label Me A Winter Scene Gift Tag
Last week I created a birthday gift tag with a dancing chicken. I loved how bright and cheerful it was, but it did involve quite a bit of work.

A Favour For All You Do

Today Is World Diabetes Day
November 14th is World Diabetes Day and one that I simply have to mark each year. In June 2017 our son died from complications arising from his type 1 diabetes, he was just 31. My 15 year old niece also has Type 1 diabetes having been diagnosed four years ago. This disease is not caused by poor diet or lack of exercise. It is an autoimmune disease where the body's own cells attack the pancreas destroying the cells that produce insulin. There is no currently cure. In 2006 the UN ... VIEW POST
