Graici's 1

Hello, as promised here is Graici's photo. Our little sweetheart was 1 on saturday, she had a lovely day, she was a little bewildered at first unwrapping her gifts but soon realised it was fun. We took her to York for the day, she loves it out shopping she always makes a lot of new friends, shes such a happy little girl and a pleasure to be around, shes like a little ray of sunshine. As you can probably tell we are all very proud of her and are delighted that she is here.

Cuddly Buddly Digi Challenge #19 - A Recipe

The Cuddly Buddly challenge this week was to use 3 flowers, 2 buttons and a ribbon. I chose a Cuddly Buddly flower circle for my image and I made the 2 peach coloured flowers and used a prima for the third. The satin ribbon and gold buttons both came from my mums sewing box. So in a way its a joint effort even though my mum is no longer with us, but im sure she would approve.

Good luck everyone.

LOTV challenge 119 - Bright and sparkly

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well, this is my entry for this weeks challenge, I think this stamp is adorable, I got her for xmas last year from my eldest daughter I think she will become an all time classic.
I am just having some quiet time which is rare as our little angel has gone into town shopping with her mum and one of her aunties, I cant believe that Graici will be one in just over a week, time just flies, I will post a picture of her on her first birthday for you all to see.


take care all and good luck for the challenge

Just Magnolia Merry Christmas Challenge

Tilda unwrapping presents is one of my all time favourite images, shes so cute.
Christmas this year for us will be bitter sweet, its the first one without my mum but its also Graici's first christmas where she will be able to open her own gifts, its a very strange feeling. Anyway dont want to bore you with all my woes this blog is all about the good things in life and focusing on the positive so good luck everyone and I hope all your christmases are exactly what your hoping for.

Just like to thank my beautiful talented daughter for designing the backing paper for me to use on this challenge, without her I would be totally lost. Well done Karly xxx
