..............................................................................................................

Hello my fellow bloggers still not straight but now that we are living here it should get easier we still have to visit the house everyday due to hubby having Koi Carp which need feeding daily and can't be moved until a pond is built they go dormant during the colder months so that should free up some time, the cats have settled in nicely they won't be going out for some time and as winter isn't far away they probably won't go out until next year hopefully they will be use to the new surrounding by then....lol
l got to grips with my craft room yesterday and did lots of sorting out l didn't realise how much l'd got and came across these cuties
SWALK Rubber stamps most haven't been inked there are 14 in total so if your interested please leave your name and l'll draw 14 winners good luck all and thankyou for all your support during my absence
Many thanks Sandra H xx

Good afternoon my fellow bloggers just thought l would pop by to say hello

It's still a mess and not as organised as l would like it to be but you know the saying 
Rome wasn't built in a day so my craft room will take some time to get right which l'll enjoy doing and l'm Placed at the front so when the garden is in full bloom it will be lovely to see l'll be back with my Sparkles Christmas Challenge tomorrow so until then take care,
