I admired a recent post by my lovely friend Ruth Trice (link to follow). I thought it would be perfect project for an upcoming Mum and Me kids class. By chance, my friend called me a few weeks later and asked me would I do a crafting activity at her daughter’s 10th birthday party. Well, I had the absolute PERFECT project! Her daughter had final approval, but how could you… Read More »

I also wanted to earn products for free too and therefore pretty quickly started a business. I have… Read More »
Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift.

I am eternally grateful… Read More »
My daughter turned 6 a couple of weeks ago and had a Princess themed birthday party. As I’d just used the venue’s invitations, I decided to make some pretty special thank you cards for her guests.
