What a lovely weekend . . .

My mum came down to join me at a workshop that an old nursing friend of hers was hosting.  It was such a lovely day and the chatter went on until the dinner guests arrived (that’s a hint that it’s time to go!).  This group of ladies had some very old hands at card making [...]

Mind you, I can justify chocolate at any time of the day, any day of the year!  The Easter bunny has been hippity-hopping around our place and here’s a couple of bits he delivered . [...]

I meant to mention my new header – did you notice it changed a few days ago (again)?  I’ve been trying to find the right image to have ‘up there’ so have been playing musical images. This still isn’t quite what I was after, but I was really happy with the card that this came from, [...]
