Starting Over

Happy New Year everyone...

I hope you had a lovely Christmas, and Santa was kind to you with lots of  

new crafting goodies to add to your stash. Due to a serious family crisis, we

had a very quiet Christmas and New Year. My birthday fell between those days

(29th), so John and I went to a seaside town 2 hours away, where we had a lovely

light lunch, a long seaside walk, and a fabulous dinner. Between lunch and dinner we 

had 2 shopping expeditions...John bought me a new handbag, then went for a drive 

while I spent 1 1/2 hours in a scrapbooking/craft store, where lots of 

goodies 'fell' into the shopping basket.

I suppose you couldn't help but notice, I have updated and 'prettified' my blog. 

Of course I had an awful lot of help from my wonderful, and very clever John.

That's enough of my rambling on...let's move on to more important things!

After a break over the festive season, Crafty Little Fairies is back with a new

challenge to start 2014 off. How appropriate that the challenge title is

STARTING OVER 

Your creation can feature a new house, new job, new baby etc. Remember, you

must use an image, either stamped or digi, in order for your creation to be valid.

Our lovely sponsor this week is 

A dear friend's daughter is due to give birth to a little baby girl in 3 weeks time, so I

made this card for the mother-to-be and her husband.

A closer look at this adorable baby bear, by LOTV.
