Evening everyone, Firstly I must apologise for my absence of any posts on here, my ill health has decided to rear it's ugly head and has laid me low for quite some time, I am still trying to regain some strength, In the meantime I would like to tell you about some fabulous Blog Candy that is going on over at Elfie's Sparkle and Dust and here is a picture of the goodies the winner will receive  ~  plus £10.00 to spend at That Craft Place on Facebook, so all in all a very good prize worth going for, plus it would be lovely if you signed up as a follower to Erins Blog.





Thanks for looking, hopefully I will be back soon with some creations of my own, when I can sit at my craft desk again.

Hugs    Jan xxx

P.s.  I do wish I knew how to put these things in a side bar, if anyone has any idea please email me and let me know jani10@sky.com.  Not being able to do this makes me feel rather inadequate in Blog Land !

Morning friends, I hope the sun is shining in your part of the world, it is here in Kent, yesterday was my youngest daughter's 22nd birthday and we had a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon eating scones with cream and jam and her fave choc fudge cake made by her eldest sister Charlotte, here is the card that I made for her :

And here is the gift bag that I made to put the perfume that I bought her in, she loves Womanity by Thierry Mugler, yes she has expensive tastes and why not?

Thanks for peeking and have a lovely day wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Good morning friends, now don't all fall over, but I have actually crafted!!! Yes I have found a bit of mojo and have begun to craft again. This is my very first Besties card, the digi image is beautifully designed by Sherri Baldy and I hope that I have done it justice. Thank you for taking the time to visit me.
