My Friends in Spain

Not long now till we return to the UK and I wanted to give our friends just a little something before we left.  One of my DT buddies at Ooh La La Creations recently made a set of coasters for the presenters on Create & Craft and the idea was born ...... thank you Carol.

Here are the coasters I made and also the little verse I put on the back of each one.





The images came from Watercolour Memories CD, Shoes in Bloom CD and Oriental Blue download by Ooh La La Creations, Paper Nation and Google

I Won!!!!!


I won this fantastic kit today from Jen C Designs , I couldn't believe my luck.  The folks who read my blog know I'm not into scrapbooking but I've started following a lot of the scrapbook sites as there are some wonderful designers out there and lots of beautiful papers with elements to match which you can use on cards just as easily. 

The removal people are coming on Wednesday to assess how much stuff we've got to go back to the UK and how many boxes we'll need so after that I'm afraid I won't be crafting till I get home as I'll need to get packed up and ready as it's only 5 weeks now till we leave Spain.  I think I'll need a 10-ton truck solely for my craft stuff!!! 

Off now to get one or two crafty bits finished off.  By the end of tomorrow I'll be completely up to date and all DT work scheduled - having withdrawal symptoms already!  Hugs xx
