Happy Valentines Day

Thanks for the Valentines Cards and recent mail! They're just great.

This card made me laugh so much Becky!

Inside... hehee!

I have had a busy few days since I broke up for the half-term holiday and it's still freezing! I've had a bit of a spring clean and found lots of household items and bric-a-brac that we no longer need. On Sunday I went to do a popular local table top sale where I sold some of the items.

I was next to a lady that I know, she was selling clothes and arts and crafts materials. I REALLY had to stop myself from buying everything! Instead, I limited myself to a box of 12x12 fancy scrapbook pages for only £2. I'm going to have a go at making envelopes after receiving some lovely snail mail in fab envelopes recently #feelinginspired! 

 I also made some magnetic Peg It! sets made using limited edition Liberty of London material tape and then I listed them on Etsy.

 It was also my brother in law's birthday so he came up from London with my sister in law and we had a small family party which was really nice. I even made this bunting to display!

Also, we all had our own personalised cupcake as there's a lot of 'special' birthdays coming up in our family and some recent achievements to be acknowledged!

Now I have to get some of my crafts ready as I'm having a stall at a community centre tomorrow.

Thanks for the mail!

What better way to spend a Monday than reading some lovely mail from Rusty and Bree! I read both your letters twice and also spent ages looking at the bits and pieces. Rusty, the letter was so colourful! It's snowing here at the moment so it's nice to see more than white everywhere! I'm chuffed to bits with the London stickers Bree. I can use them on the things I'm making for my party, for crafts and letter writing. I shall write back soon, I've sooo many new goodies to send! Thank you ladies! xoxo

In other news!

My friend and I went to see Belinda Carlisle the other night. My mum used to listen to her cd's when I was a little girl and there I was singing along to all the classics like I was her biggest fan! We really enjoyed the show and my favourite performance of the night was this classic!

Incoming mail this week! Thank you pen pals...you're ace. I'm having a read in the morning.

Oh! My lovely friend Sam made me these gorgeous hand made gift bags using newspaper, brown paper and a sewing machine. So, you know what your next letters are going to arrive in folks! Sam is also running the London Marathon this year. It's all for a great cause and you can read about it here.
