Those that know me, know I lost my beautiful mother nearly 12 months ago...and since then I've found that even getting out of bed, was extraordinary difficult...but Di and Mel, made me realize that it's OK to have a bad day..it's ok to be sad...really sad....and also very normal, after losing ones best friend !!! So I thank them with all my heart...my mum would have loved you both, had she met you !!! So I take each day as they come...knowing that some days will be better than others, and that's fine....So thankyou Di and Mel, you'll never know just how MUCH I luv you guys...I am soooo lucky to have friends like YOU.. Will be in next week with cake...I promise !!!
My second piece of news, is that I have been given a guest design spot with Twiddleybitz...and I LUUURRVVVE Twiddleybitz. One can never have too much chipboard....I have FOUR draws fULL!!!! So I am delighted....I cant show you anything yet !!!! But very soon !!!! I have been a very busy little black duck !!
Now I would normally insert the link to the Twiddleybitz website.....But I haven't worked out how to yet, But this is the address...http://twiddleybitz.com/ as soon as I work out how, I will add the link...you must go have a look...They have some wonderful chipboard designs...and like I said before...One can never have too much chipboard !!!

Loving Birdcages

 
I just had to show you this little birdcage I bought today....Isn't it absolutely sooooo cute... AND its only an inch tall....If you look real closely, you can see the little bird inside on a swing !!!! Am working on something along the same lines, but it's not finished yet...I plan to put in a few good hours on it tonight....now that the kids are in bed.
Will be back soon, with something to show you (hopefully).... :=)
