HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hello Bloggers,
Bet you thought I wasn't coming back lol I've had a wonderful christmas with my family (although the flu tried to spoil it for us we didn't allow it!) Our dear Daughter and her family were here from America and we just loved having them with us, lots of cuddles from the Grandsons too.
Well its here, New Year is nearly upon us and I've been thinking of new year resolutions, one is definitely not to neglect my blog and another one I must not spend unless absolutely necessary! (wonder how long that one will last lol)
Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and see you all again very soon.
Love & Best Wishes Teresa xx

Hello my dear blogging friends, just popped by to clear away the cobwebs again and upload a card, its been a while since I've been here, I'm afraid thats docrafts for you, very addictive!

Tilda with tree & Hanglar



These Hanglar stamps are fab, I love colouring them but poor tilda is feeling a bit neglected so I'll post two cards lol. I've had a very enjoyable day today crafting, I made three cards in total but I need to take photos of those so here's my last couple. Hope you like them. Teresa xx

Another Hanglar


I've been a busy bee today and made 3 cards, this one is another Hanglar card, I'm loving these stamps so much and I must say I got my inspiration from 'All the things I love by Bev' I think her blog is amazing!
Just wanted to add that on my last post below I had a comment that I published but when I looked it wasn't there for some reason, it was from an anonymous person, it was a lovely comment but I've no idea what happend to it, anyway the reason I mention it is because you asked where I get the small doilies from, well I bought mine from Joanna Sheen and the heart shape ones from Hobbyhouse. Thank you to anyone who leaves a comment here. Teresa xx
