Hello

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday, we have had glorious sunshine so far today.   I  had a bit of mad five minutes earlier this morning which resulted in a trip to the tip, car jam packed with rubbish!  I need to keep busy today, got a little worry on  my mind which will probably result to nothing but we will see, I am a worry guts!

Anyway feeling a bit down today so I took myself off  to my little cupboard to cheer myself up and a Sarah Kay stamp will always do the trick.  I got my gorgeous new papers from My Crafty Heart and in my parcel was a little freebie, a  lovely little bag with some charms in and an adorable little resin flower, really quick delivery too so I would recommend for sure, thank you Teresa.

So here is my little card and thanks so much for visiting means a lot!

Morning

Do you know I sit here sometimes for what seems like forever trying to think of how to start my post off, then when I do think of something I  type it all out and then delete it and revert to the weather LOL!  Although I have woken up to beautiful sunshine which is right in my eyes but I am too lazy to get up off  my butt and pull the blind!!

Over at CES Jenny has chosen the theme of BUTTON IT (more than 1 though please)!  Go check out the challenge post HERE for details of the prize and fab DT samples.

I have used an LOTV image from the new release (yes I did make it to Ally Pally I was always gonna win)!
While I was there I picked up some little crochet flowers and I have had an urge to learn to crochet for a little while now so one of the ladies at work is going to teach me! I have ordered my cotton just waiting for it to arrive, so be warned once I get the hang of it there could be crochet flowers appearing on everything! LOL.

Happy Saturday, not sure what I will get up to yet today but I am sure it will include some crafty time!
Today over at CES I have chosen the theme of Paper Piecing, you can do a little or a lot, it's up to you.
