OOhh, I have just received this award from both Hazel and Rica, you have to go and see their blogs, they make the lovliest cards :-)
I really needed this today, it's cheered me up a bit after what's been a truly miserable day.I wasn't going to say this on my blog but a colleage / friend who I've worked very closely with for the last 18 years died very suddenly on Saturday and it was her funeral today. She was only 46 yrs old and has two young sons, 17 and 15 year old. Am sure you can imagine how upsetting it was.
Cherish your life and live it to the full !!
I thank Rica and Hazel for giving me this award I'll think about this overnight and forward this award to my lovely blogger friends :-)
I just feel totally exhausted and headachy after what's been a truly horrid day,so I'll say goodnight n go for a good cry,,,,,,, :-(

Purely Stamping Blog Candy Sketch Challenge


Linda has reached 10.000 hits on her blog and to celebrate she's giving away some fab stamps, but there's a twist, to enter the draw you have to make a card to her sketch :-)
I made this for the purely stamping blog candy challenge, You can see the blog candy on my sidebar.
I used penny black roses as the main image and a hero arts butterfly in the circle. The text is by papermania, I rarely use stickers but this one just looked perfect for this card I thought.
I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)
