Birthday candy!

I've been terribly slack over the last 6 months.. Please forgive me!

Yesterday was my birthday and I was extremely spoilt! I received flowers from my daughter, my boss and ladies from work. My other daughter sent me a lovely ornament to pop in the garden..I got several presents and someone did mention that my work desk looked like a florist!

So I thought I would pay it forward.



So it will be a surprise candy that is going to last 48 days! Hmmm.. I wonder why.. ha ha ha..

so the rules are:
1. You need to be a follower (not just for candy)
2. You need to share this candy on your blog
3. Post a comment here on this post to let me know you have done it all :)

For every 5 people you get to join I will keep adding :)

Now it is a surprise - but you can expect - hmm paper, card, a stamp or two, ink pad, Ribbon, Bling, embossing folder or two, some hand crafted crocheted flowers (made by yours truly) etc...


Now it is open world wide - happy to post anywhere

Please share with your friends..

Have a great weekend..

Bizzy Bec's April Challenge - Add some texture

Good morning everyone,
Bizzy Bec's Aprils challenge is to add some texture to your card. Whether it be some material, hessian, lace etc..
Below is my creation..



Now I've used Memory box dies for the tree, a magnolia die for the fence, then covered it with texture paste and then added some paint. The image is the silver fairy from the Wee Whimsy collection, I've coloured the image using my copics E72,73,74,77.

All these and more are available from Bizzy Bec's online store here
I look forward to visiting all your blogs and seeing what your take on 'Texture' is..

Cheers for now

Long time between drinks...

Hi all,
goodness - where did March go? You wouldn't read about it! It seems the months are getting shorter. Another poor excuse for not blogging - WORK - seems to get in the way of everything! Apart from some not so minor health hiccups.. I think I'm glad to see the end of March.. Now moving onto the chocolate month of April..lol don't forget you only have a couple more days to enter into Bizzy Bec's Monthly challenge. We will be uploading our newest Challenge in a couple of days! Stay tuned for some wonderful creativity!!
See you soon
