WOW I won a prize ...


Over at Colour create for my card in challenge 25 (above). It was the colour combo of blue, silver, sand and black. Thank you ladies for choosing my card.

Well not much crafting over the past few days, but am not back at work until Monday so it's crafting, crafting, crafting after I've done a few chores.
I've been feeling a little sad this week as it's a year since my closet, best friend passed away and I miss her terribly. She was like another mother to me and I think she knew me better that anyone, even myself sometimes. Oh hum !
I'd better go and get sorted as we need to go into town this morning. I want to look for some ribbon, some leather stranding, some lace and a few bits n bobs.

Back later T T F N
