May Promotion – Eastern Palace Premier Bundle

So excited about this new promotion!  Wouldn’t you be if you could get your hands on three of the new In Colours? I didn’t give this set much thought at first, but when I looked at it more closely, I could see endless possibilities and my enthusiasm grew. Wow!  How wrong can a girl be?  Eastern […]

Sneak Peek!

Yay!  Another long weekend!  Not that it makes much difference if you’re “retired”, or at least if your other half is.  Everyday seems like a long weekend!  You’d think that without the daily grind of a day at the office, life at home should pan out more leisurely – nothing could be further from the […]

Biggest Birthday Ever & Suite Sentiments

When you know something isn’t going to be around anymore, it galvanises you into action.  I’ve been busy creating lots of cards using this set so I hope it will give you plenty of ideas.  Someone said to me if dies are no longer available, then what?  All is not lost, you can still use […]

I thought erroneously that this set has sold out, but I’ve just checked again […]

Lovely Swaps

I’m sharing my swaps from OnStage Live which took place in Amsterdam the weekend before last. These were the swaps I made, using the Swirly Bird stamp set which is carrying over to next year’s annual catalogue – Hurrah! To cut down on the number of times I had to run all the little elements […]

Ear worm Tulips From Amsterdam!!!

Are you sitting comfortably?  This post is likely to be long and picture heavy!  Good thing about blogging is that it’s a diary and a way of putting down your thoughts and memories of a trip or event which you can look back on easily.  Often times, I’ll look at a photo and cannot for […]
